Jimmy Osmond has got into trouble after his toy bear was found to be harbouring a dark secret.

The bear had previously got into trouble after contraband items such as peppercorns were discovered inside of him, and was today revealed to contain a recorded message from the singer's wife and children.

Suspicious producers had called Osmond into the Bush Telegraph to talk about the bear. Osmond initially refused to open up, merely acknowledging that "he is a very special bear and has very special talents."

After a bit more of a grilling, however, the producers managed to get Osmond to reveal: "There's a little private message from my family in here - a talking message. He’s a talking teddy bear.???

He played the message for producers, where each member of his family said "goodnight, we love you." After unsuccesfully trying to negotiate a plea bargain, Osmond finally gave producers the electronics inside of the bear, before leaving the Telegraph.
