Jedward wanted for Celeb Big Brother?
Wednesday 16 December 2009
According to The Evening Herald, negotiations have been ongoing for the past few weeks as desperate TV producers try to persuade Jedward to sign up for the Channel 4 reality show.
Show chiefs believe the 18-year-old Lucan twins, now being managed by 'X Factor' judge Louis Walsh, would be a massive hit with viewers.
"The first TV deal that they take is really crucial as it will literally make or break them in terms of their career so they have to be cautious about what they agree to do," said an insider. "Some of the things they've been offered would turn them into total laughing stocks, but 'Celebrity Big Brother' is definitely a possibility.
"They're both so energetic and have such big personalities, they would be a great addition to a celebrity line-up."
Jedward have already signed up for a series of ads with Tourism Ireland, which hit the British airwaves for the first time recently.
They are also rumoured to be gearing up to audition for roles playing dwarves in a Hollywood remake of JRR Tolkien's classic The Hobbit.
Film producer Peter Jackson's people reportedly rang Louis inviting the lads to do a screen test for his 'Lord Of The Rings' prequel.
