Jedward inundated with TV offers!!!!

Jedward inundated with TV offers!!!!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ock-AGAIN.html

X Factor twins 'Jedward' have been bombarded with offers of deals with children's television channels despite the furore surrounding their continuing presence on the show.

John and Edward Grimes are now so popular with the public that bookies revealed only £60 has been wagered on them to be axed this week.

The double act are in such demand that the show’s producers have already received scores of offers of television deals from networks including Disney, Nickelodeon and the BBC.

Agree with this 100%.

They are hungry for fame & could just have easily been entertaining on Big Brother.

They should be nowhere near the charts assaulting my eardrums.

I'm sure they have almost as many TV offers as Same Difference had.

So being abused and chased in the street, being booed, sworn at and having things thrown at them in the studio isn't being victimised. O.....kay.

I can see them doing really well on kiddies programmes. Good for them, if they can just put up with the ridiculous treatment they are getting from some....then it will all be worth it.

Same Difference never had this much press interest. In fact, very few X Factor acts have had quite the impact and publicity that Jedward have had; you just have to take a look at the papers and the ratings to see that.

I could definitely see the twins doing kids tv.

Hello. New to these forums.

They look fairly suited to kids tv, something on Saturday mornings. That seems to be the direction that they are aiming for, especially the Ghostbusters thing!

I can't quite understand why they went on the X factor and not Britains Got Talent.

I agree. Jedward have a great likable personality that would fit so well on TV.

The x-factor is totally the wrong show for them. They could have got sent packing on Sunday and still lead the same career, if they win.

I think they would be ideal on a children's tv programme. They are definitely not record hit material but they are very entertaining and would win the young kids over big time.
It's their entertaining I love, but I think it would be hard to listen to them singing in a whole album

They could present:

CBBC
Cbeebies
Blue Peter
TMi
They could take over Dick and Dom or sam and Mark or whoever it is these days.

The adult industry would be good for them aswell, They could get rich working for television X or Gay tv.

would be very happy if that was true. I love watching them on their video diaries. They make me smile and they're very funny.

But.... it says in the article ''after the show finishes in December'' I thought they all contracted to syco until next year?....

'So popular with the public' ?

They received the 2nd lowest amount of votes at the weekend. They can't be that popular.
