Louis Walsh has claimed that Simon Cowell is worried that John and Edward Grimes may just win The X Factor.

After reports suggested that John and Edward received the highest amount of votes last weekend, Louis says that Simon is worried that he may have to give them a record deal.

Walsh told the Daily Mail: “Simon is desperately worried that the twins are going to win. He’s really unhappy, but there is nothing he can do because this is who people are voting for. I thought they were going to be popular, but I never expected this.

“Pop music is not just about singing – Kylie, Robbie Williams, neither of them can sing. And at least the twins are singing live, unlike some of the people at the top of the charts at the moment.”
