John and Edward Grimes (born 16 October 1991 in Dublin, Ireland), known professionally as Jedward, are an Irish singing and television presenting duo. They are identical twins and first appeared as John & Edward in the sixth series of The X Factor (UK) in 2009, generating a phenomenon of ironic popularity described as "the Jedward paradox". They finished sixth and are now managed by Louis Walsh, who was their mentor during The X Factor.
Jedward have released three albums; Planet Jedward, Victory and Young Love. Planet Jedward and Victory went double platinum in Ireland. They have released nine singles, including "Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)" (a mash-up of "Under Pressure" by Queen and Vanilla Ice's track "Ice Ice Baby"), "Lipstick", the song with which they represented Ireland at Eurovision 2011, and "Waterline", with which they represented Ireland at Eurovision 2012.
Jedward are also known for their television work, including presenting children's series Jedward's Big Adventure and OMG! Jedward's Dream Factory, and for participating in Celebrity Big Brother 8 (UK). Jedward's combined net worth was estimated at £4.95 million in January 2013.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Facts
Jedward were delivered three months early, at 28 weeks, and weighed just 2lb each. They were given only a 50% chance of survival. Both spent weeks in an incubator before being allowed home.
The twins were physically and verbally bullied at school because of their unique style and personalities. However it has not prevented them from achieving their dreams.
Jedward are ambassadors for the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (ISPCC) and have fronted an ISPCC poster campaign.
Jedward have also been signed to Next Models and appeared in fashion magazines such as i-D, Esquire and Grazia.
Since 2010, Jedward have performed in an annual pantomime over the Christmas and New Year period. Based at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin, the pantomimes also star Linda Martin. John and Edward play themselves and the shows feature Jedward songs. The twins' first show was Cinderella in 2010, where they played the fairy godbrothers. They returned in 2011 with a sell-out season of Jedward and the Beanstalk, and again in 2012 with Jedward and the Magic Lamp. In 2013 their fourth pantomime will be Jedward in Beauty and the Beast.
