Rhydian has obviously been listening to Louis Walsh’s recent interviews and now he has insisted that John and Edward Grimes won’t last too much longer on The X Factor.

Rhydian, who finished second in the 2007 series of the show told The Guardian that the twins silliness is ‘wearing thin.’

Roberts said: “The twins are funny, but is it wearing thin now? I don’t mean that in a nasty way: I wish them the best of luck.”

He added: “They’ll make a lot of money in a short period of time. But I don’t think they’ll stay much longer.”

On suggestions that his quiff has gotten bigger since the dawn of Jedward, Roberts insisted:

“I was around before Jedward and my stylist does their hair, so I should have a patent on it,” he said.

“But yes, my hair is quite big – it’s a lot whiter than Jedward’s though, and not as big as theirs.”
