X Factor twins, John and Edward Grimes have admitted that they are baffled by the public’s strong reaction to them.

After hearing that more than 100,000 people have joined the ‘Get John and Edward Out’ group, the teenagers told The Sun:

“We don’t understand why people don’t like us.”

During the bootcamp stage of the show, Simon Cowell branded the boys as “vile little creatures who’d step on their mother’s head to have a hit”. But the pair said: “We like that Simon doesn’t like us. He gives us constructive criticism.”

Personally I don’t think that J&E deserve a place in the live shows, in fact I don’t think they even deserved a place in bootcmap. However they are just young fellas and it must be hard to hear that so many people dislike you. I don’t blame them for this travesty, I blame the incredibly stupid Louis Walsh. Why can’t we start a ‘Get Louis Walsh Out’ Facebook group………now there’s an idea…
