X Factor twins, John and Edward Grimes have reportedly brought nits into the XF house. The contestants are said to be suffering from an outbreak of head lice and fingers are being pointed at Jedward’s greasy quiffs as the culprits.

A source told The Sun: “The nits situation is the talk of the house – it’s absolutely horrible.”

“They fear it’s spreading around the whole house and all are blaming John and Edward.

“The contestants reckon their quiffs are so greasy and long anything could grow in them.”

The insider added: “Everyone is keeping away from them and their hair products.”

Olly Murs was the first person scratching. The source added: “Olly has been going on and on about it.

“His fears then made Stacey worry and she has been scratching her scalp constantly since then.”

“Everyone should be concentrating on their performances but it’s hard when they all feel so itchy and uncomfortable.”

The insider added: “While the situation is not very nice, it’s hardly surprising – nits are fairly common among teenagers and there are so many young people sharing hair products and brushes.”

Seems to me that if Olly was the first person to feel the effects of the head lice, perhaps it was he who introduced them….not John and Edward at all.
