Yesterday we brought you the news that X Factor singers John and Edward Grimes have already landed a management deal and today it appears that a record deal wasn’t too far behind.

The Daily Star reported today that the boys have already signed with Leona Lewis’ management company and that win or lose, they are all set to release a debut album with their first single to be 5ive’s ‘Everybody Get Up’.

A spokesman said: “I can’t comment – it’s speculation. All I can say is the boys will sign with Modest.”

Unreality TV finds this snippet of news strangely predictable yet wholly unfair to the other contestants, who are still battling it out for that elusive deal.
