The twins that grew on the public (like a fungus) John and Edward have reportedly been offered £50,000 to appear in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. It seems the producers of the ITV reality show have shit themselves that no one will watch, after Jordon and her botox-ridden mush bounced from the jungle and basically left a bunch of people that nobody has heard of, standing about scratching themselves waiting for the public to vote to get them to eat koala rectum.
A source told The Sun: "ITV are determined to get the twins. A flight can be arranged in time so they could be in camp by this weekend." They then (somewhat hopefully) added "It would be a nailed on ratings-winning coup if Louis manages to persuade them it's a good move for their career." Career? Those two just need to get as much money as possible before the inevitable fall from fame happens, and they find themselves standing next to Shayne Ward, playing a gig at a halting side near the N11. Hey, it's still show business...
Anyhow, Louis Walsh, apparently thinks that fifty grand isn't enough and that the brothers should hold out for more dough. The Westlife manager has a point, those multicoloured runners and meticulously assembled hairstyles don't come cheap; also, he'd probably get a cut. But is putting two hormonal teen boys in the jungle with a, clearly deluded, Samantha Fox really a good thing? They'd spend the best part of that money on therapy after seeing her former money-makers scraping along the jungle floor.
It's all still speculation at the moment, but let's face it; even the most diehard Jedward fans (and inexplicably, they are out there) will struggle arguing that those two will have a career in music. Sure, if they were surrounded by more talented members in a group (Westlife, Boyzone etc) they could conceivably steal a living, but those boys have damn limited capabilities.
Basically, what I'm tryna say is TAKE THE BLEEDIN' MONEY and run lads.
