A pet rabbit has become so hooked on a late night soap she attacks her owners if they try to change the channel. The bunny loves watching the drama as she sits between her doting owners in bed in the family home in Xiamen, southern China.

But the rampant rabbit – named Jia Xiaoyu – gets hopping mad if she misses a single episode of the Korean TV drama Ms Mermaid. Owner Wing Chunlei said: “If we accidentally switch to another channel, she gets very angry, biting the pillow and attacking us. She wouldn’t stop until we turned back. “And she won’t watch TV anywhere except between my wife and me in bed. If we try to move her she gets cross and stubborn.”

Rabbit stew?
