Pals of X Factor twins John and Edward Grimes, have claimed that the pair are still virgins.

A source from the pair’s hometown of Lucan, told The Daily Star: “Some people round here see them as village idiots. They didn’t get much female attention before the show. John had a girlfriend for just three days when he was 15 and that’s the only time we’ve seen either of them with a girl.”

A friend of the singers is also quoted as saying: “They’re definitely virgins. They’re more interested in their hair and becoming famous than girls. Don’t get me wrong, they’ll love the female attention they’ve been getting. But they know that can come after they’ve made the most of their time on The X Factor.”
