Luck of Irish runs out for twins
X Factor hopefuls ‘Jedward' have been knocked out of the ITV talent show. By Shelley Marsden - 23/11/09
Following weeks of controversy, conspiracy theories and clinging on to their places for dear life, the Dublin Grimes twins have left the competition.
The quaffed twosome were sent off after a shock sing-off with favourite Olly Murs.
Described earlier in the show as an “unstoppable machine”, the judges nonetheless decided it was their time, saving the Essex boy instead.
The two 18-year-olds sang Boyzone's No Matter What, but Olly’s version of Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight was just too good.
Judge Cowell said: "I'm actually going to miss you, I am."
The pair were still smiling after the result, and said Olly deserved to go through and reach the final.
One said: "It's been the greatest experience of my life. We're here every single weekend on live television having the greatest time of our life."
The other added: "It's, like, deadly. It's, like, so cool."
