X Factor bosses deny 'Jedward fix'
Producers have reportedly denied suggestions that John and Edward Grimes have been set up to win 'The X Factor' from the earliest phases of this year's show.
The twins won their place at boot camp after auditioning in Glasgow in May, but apparently TV footage has also shown the duo present at the London O2 auditions three days earlier, The Sun reports.
However, a show spokeswoman said: "There is always a pre-audition in front of the judges. They did a pre-audition in London then were asked to audition for the judges.

"They were given a choice of Glasgow or London. They couldn't make London so they went to Glasgow."
Last week, Simon Cowell said that he was praying that John & Edward do not win this year's X Factor.
