X Factor twins John and Edward Grimes are close to signing a record deal and are already attracting "huge interest" within the music industry, according to show judge Louis Walsh.

The Irish teenagers only survived last weekend's elimination process because Simon Cowell opted to put them through to a public vote.
"Jedward will soon sign a record deal, there is huge interest in them and they'll be making pop records and having the time of their lives," Walsh told Sky News Online.
"As far as I'm concerned they have won already because they have proved Simon wrong. I'll be happy if we get one more week but they can keep going and going."
Tomorrow night's show will feature the music of rock legends Queen, but while Jedward had been tipped to sing Radio Ga Ga it is now understood that they may end up performing the hit single Under Pressure.
"I think it's totally appropriate given how they keep getting through against the odds," Walsh added.
"It's a pity that the people of Ireland can't vote because their support could really swing this for the two boys, I'm absolutely sure of it."
X Factor is regularly attracting peak audiences of 16 million each Saturday and Sunday night on ITV
