Jedward: 'We had Beckham's number'

X Factor stars John & Edward have claimed that they used to have Victoria Beckham's mobile phone number.

The Irish twins told New magazine that they got hold of Beckham's number after finding fame on the ITV1 talent show, but went on to lose it when their phones went missing.

Asked whether he and Edward are still in touch with their old X Factor friends, John Grimes replied: "We're in touch with everyone, but we lost our phones. We had every single famous person's number on there - Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, Cheryl Cole…"

Edward added: "Yeah, we had Victoria Beckham's."

Continuing the list of famous faces, John said: "And David Beckham's."

The duo confirmed that they did not ever call up the celebrity couple and refused to reveal how they ended up with their numbers.

John & Edward will release their debut album later this year.
