John and Edward Grimes have reportedly been offered €300,000 to appear on next year’s series of Celebrity Big Brother. The twins caused controversy on this year’s X Factor, mostly because they can’t actually sing and it is supposed to be a singing competition!

An insider told the Irish Herald newspaper: “The first TV deal that they take is really crucial as it will literally make or break them in terms of their career so they have to be cautious about what they agree to do.

“Some of the things they’ve been offered would turn them into total laughing stocks, but Celebrity Big Brother is definitely a possibility.

“They’re both so energetic and have such big personalities, they would be a great addition to a celebrity line-up.”

Celebrity Big Brother returns January 3rd.
