Jedward for the jungle?

X Factor rejects John and Edward Grimes have been approached to replace Katie Price on I’m A Celebrity, The Sun has reported.
 
The twins have apparently been offered £100,000 to fly out to the jungle, after Katie quit the show on after just one week.
 
According to the tabloid, show producers made the offer via Jedward’s X Factor mentor, Louis Walsh, who has flown to Dublin to speak to the twins’ parents. "It would be a nailed-on ratings coup if Louis manages to persuade them it’s a good move for their career," an insider is quoted as saying. "Louis still believes ITV haven’t offered enough money. But the twins were completely unknown a couple of months ago and everyone around them is saying they should make hay while the sun shines."
 
When asked about the offer by GMTV host Ben Shepherd, John said: "Can we do that? Are we celebrities?… We’re up for any challenge, we’ve got to think about it together and see if it’s for us."

  1. I feel a bit sorry for them actually – I think they are probably really nice guys who have got caught up in all this and gave it all they could (I like Louis but that was his fault really). But it has been a great experience for them whatever the outcome was so I guess nothing has been lost. Anyway, they should do it and milk all they can while they can – good luck to them – I would certainly watch it (I haven\’t got involved yet this time round).

  2. i think they are good entertainers just cant sing , if they were in britains got talent doing their double act yes but not x factor they were flat, but will do well as adouble act for im a celebrity and shows like that, sign them up .

  3. Well apart from Katie Price the rest of the people in there are hardly celebs, I only knew who a few of them were before they went in. At least Jedward are well known compared to the rest of the people. I think they should do it and show the public what they are like as people. They have a big fan base as well so could win it.

  4. i think the twins should do it, i didnt like them on the xfactor at first but have become a huge fan of how entertaining they are, they would spice things up for sure, im sure kim would love someone to mother. They would make the perfect replacement for Kaite Price. GO JEWARD!!! (Y)

  5. omg nooooooooooo wasn\’t it bad enough when we only had to put up with them twice a week they can\’t act,sing or dance what on earth could they bring to the show apart from someone else for the public to hate now that kate has gone. please ITV DO NOT let them on the show.

  6. louie in the jungle,lets judge the irish potato,put him in wid rats and snakesmake him eat kangaroo balls and crocs anus,no more jedward on tv please they are not celebreties

  7. I didn\’t like Jedward to begin with, but now I love them :] people gave them such a hard time because they couldn\’t sing in a singing competition, but please just remember that it was Louis who put them there in the first place! They did their best and I\’m glad they got as far as they did :] and putting them in the jungle is the greatest idea ever. They\’d be much more entertaining than Katie Price. And you can barely call the rest celebrities. They\’re just TV personalities. Apart from George, of course :] but while Jedward have the media\’s attention, doesn\’t that make them celebrities?

  8. I really want to see the terrible twins in the jungle think it would be really entertaining especially to see others faces. I was not a fan of them until george week on xfactor they totally won me over have since followed any news on them and think their young fun lads having an experience of a life time. they seem to have kept feet on the ground not been disheartend by being slated by everyone.

  9. I dont think they would be ably for the pressure with their age, to be away from home for so long, in saying that i think people were very hard on them with the xfactor they are only young trying to get a career for themselves which i admior in a young person wishing them both all the best in the future

  10. I think the twins are awesome and would love to see more of them on TV but maybe the pressure would be too much for them? but its their choice! But it would be great to see them onTV again Because i was gutted when they left X factor!

  11. yea id actually like too see them go in! No one as of yet has ever had that oppertunity to go from one show straight to another! Id like to see them do it

  12. hell no please, no jedward i\’m just so pleased they\’re out of x factor and i dont have to endure them, please dont ruin celebtity too. From jay in hamilton scotland

  13. they arent celebrities they\’re just two freaks who should\’ve been drowned at birth hell no they shouldnt be in the jungle

  14. put them inn…it would deffo make it more interestin..for people who hate them theey can have a laff wachin em suffer in trials ;] was really boring todaay…….if they dont go in i mite just stop watching it tbh…..drama is needed in that jungle + a bit of excitement x

  15. I think you should sooo put them in. Now katie price has gone and theres no drama in it its getting boring i barely watched it today just wasnt interested in it. If you put jedward in it, it would add comedy and a bit of excitement. If they dont go in ill probably stop watching. V. much agree with Tiyamike. Put Jedward In!

  16. put louie walsh in,offer him katies money cause she didnt want itand surely she wouldnt have been paid as she chose to go outso lets offer louie walsh her money so we can scare the life outa the little weazel

  17. Noo! Dont let them in!! They ruined the X-Factor and now they are going to ruin Celebrity in the jungle!! As much as i want them to do bushtucker trials i reckon they shouldnt go on the show, but make a show of their own or something. Also, no, they are not going to be the new ant and dec! No-one can replace them! They are hilarious in their own way and i love them! They are the main reason i watch Im a celebrity!! (:

  18. Absolutely yes! get the twins in the jungle… give the x factor a run for its money on the ratings.. (which will now go down as they are out- cowell wasn\’t silly to try and keep them in). they would most definitely make me and everyone I know watch! good luck to the boys!

  19. ermm…dont think soo buu becos its in the olympics people saay it is buu i dont think thats a good enough reason…why do uu ask ? xD….+ heather i like ur bit about the xfactor…..i\’ve stopeed wachin it now tho cos its a bit boringg 🙂

  20. in a way i want them to go in the Jungle cos i fort they were entertainingg lol the only reason i didnt like them on xfactor was they couldnt singand it was a singing Contest . SO i say YES put em in (: it will be funny as (: xx Good luck BOys x

  21. or course gymnastics is a sport Mizz!!! :O how can u say it isnt? are you crazy!? The things they do are the most demanding of nearly every sport out their? Its a competition you compete against eachother!!

  22. plus to add to thatdo you realise how many hours of training goes into it ……. NO is the answer to thathow strong you have to be ….. how physically and mentally prepared you have to be for the sport ….. NOdo you know that peopple have died and been left immobile from this sport !can you please clarify why you think its not a sport though please (mizz) ??? rachel do you think it is a sport or not ?

  23. I think we\’ve seen enough of those two boys to last a lifetime.No they shouldnt go into the jungle…but if they do lets hope they get some nasty tasks!! i\'[ve had enough of them.Why are they even on our tele?

  24. No I do not think you should put John and Edward Grimes in I\’m A Celebrity, as it would not be a good experience for the twins, they need something better than that. They are to young yet to make them do bush tucker trials. This would only spoil their lives for the future. Please have some sense and leave them alone,

  25. PLEASE NO !!!! those boys are the most annoying THINGS i have ever known, the drive me up the wall please no, i dont want to see them again, and it will ruin im a celeb… coz i mean there not even 18 they wont fit in and to be honest not many people like them 😦 sorry guys its a NO!

  26. yeah as you sed tho theyare young boys why do you hate them so much?? their only problem was they culdnt singg thts whyy i didnt like em but they are nice boys tbh x

  27. Oh my goodness PLEASE NO NO NO!! I\’m a Celebrity is NOT for kids!! I just wouldn\’t watch it anymore if they had to go in…so please NO!

  28. yes why not i think that they would be very interesting they make me laugh also taking on the challange will really be good for them with all that money so why not good luck boys.

  29. No the twins are too young for the jungle. It would be a bad move. I hope their parents dont agree to it. The producers only want them in because they have the same love/hate reaction from the public that Katie had. Forget it!

  30. I think that john and edward should go in to the jungle because after appearing on the x factor they are celebrities now and are always talking about john and edward and also how knows they are born entertainers and i also think they would be good in there

  31. They can\’t do any worse then they did on XFactor.But the public seemed to like them,so maybe they might go all the way in the jungle,so good luck boys if you go in. Just make sure you know what your getting into,sometimes money and fame is not everything. Laurie Petersen
