X Factor rejects John and Edward Grimes have reportedly been offered £50,000 each to replace Katie Price in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

The Sun reports that the boys X Factor mentor Louis Walsh flew back to Dublin yesterday and is trying to convince Jedward’s parents to let them take part on the reality TV show.

A source close to the twins told The Sun: “ITV are determined to get the twins. A flight can be arranged in time so they could be in camp by this weekend.

“It would be a nailed on ratings-winning coup if Louis manages to persuade them it’s a good move for their career.

“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.”
