X Factor twins John & Edward Grimes are reportedly close to signing a record deal, according to their mentor Louis Walsh.

“Jedward will soon sign a record deal, there is huge interest in them and they’ll be making pop records and having the time of their lives,” Walsh told Sky News.

“As far as I’m concerned they have won already because they have proved Simon wrong. I’ll be happy if we get one more week but they can keep going and going.”

Walsh also confirmed that the boys may be singing ‘Under Pressure’ this Saturday night.

“I think it’s totally appropriate given how they keep getting through against the odds,” Walsh said.

“It’s a pity that the people of Ireland can’t vote because their support could really swing this for the two boys, I’m absolutely sure of it.”
