Twins John and Edward started their career on the X Factor. Managed by Louis Walsh, they went on to represent Ireland at Eurovision twice but failed to win both times. They also appeared in Celebrity Big Brother.

With their matching ensembles, towering hair and ability to have a good laugh at themselves, the Irish duo quickly morphed from a novelty act into a force to be reckoned with.

In 2016, Jedward launched a scathing attack on Walsh after he described the act as "the most embarrassing thing to happen to him". "I think he got old. It's like someone saying behind your back and you are like, 'wait, I didn't know there was a problem.'" But the latter was overshadowed by fear when the boys emerged in second place to winner Coleen Nolan only to find their father, John Snr, was in a critical condition in intensive care.

After five years of treatment, she passed away in February 2019 as her twins held her hands and played her favourite Fleetwood Mac songs. John added: "It's very disheartening to think that she won't be at our weddings, she won't be there at the birth of our kids, but we always keep her spirit alive like have pictures of her around and tell stories.

On a recent We Hear podcast from Page Six, they explained: "Tara came to Ireland for two months and lived in our house with our granny with our familyOver the years they've travelled everywhere from Ibiza to St Tropez and Orlando, Florida, and when the pandemic struck last year, the trio even decided to lock down together at Tara's Los Angeles home.
