Girls: 'John & Edward are misunderstood'

Rex Features

X Factor Girls Rachel Adedeji, Lucie Jones and Stacey Solomon have claimed that their show rivals John and Edward are "misunderstood".

The Irish brothers have been criticised by the press and online forums for their weak vocals and attitude. However, their fellow contestants have insisted that the duo are being unfairly treated.

"They are really not annoying - they are misunderstood. They are so innocent. They wouldn't harm anyone, they really wouldn't," Jones told DS. "Rachel loves Edward!"

Adedeji, who was in the bottom two on Sunday's results show, said: "Edward's so cute, bless him. I don't fancy him, I just think he's adorable.

"I like the fact that they just get on with it. That's what I love about them. They are not going to let one little comment stop them."

Solomon added: "They are only young. There's always going to be bad press."
