Jedward want their own chat show
The pop duo - which consists of 32-year-old twins John and Edward Grimes - shot to fame as a novelty act on 'The X Factor' in 2009 but after almost 15 years in the industry, they are keen to host their own television in a similar vein to 'The Graham Norton Show' on the BBC.
Jedward told Metro newspaper's Sixty Seconds column: "We're setting up a podcast and we're putting together a team that will see our vision. We'd love to work towards getting a talk show like Graham Norton as we have a great connection with people and want to bring out the best of everyone."
The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' stars have enjoyed huge success in the industry since they entered the public eye and reflected that despite the "major pressure" they felt some years ago, they have now become more "comfortable" in themselves.
They added: "We had major pressure put on us to be a certain way, pop artists of the early 2010s. It was the Lady Gaga era so everything had to be larger
than life. We found ourselves in
situations that weren't acceptable but at the time we weren't aware of how things should have been.
"Now we're more comfortable in ourselves and we're working on things we want to do. We have a great relationship with our fans and want to keep moving forward in life, personally and
professionally.
"We aren't afraid to give a voice to those who have been silenced or need our support."
