X Factor hopefuls John and Edward Grimes are gaining momentum in their quest to win this year’s X Factor. Not only have the twins got the backing of superstar Robbie Williams but top bookie Paddy Power have also powered in behind them.
The generous bookie was at the Spa Hotel in Lucan today to present John and Edwards father, John Senior, with a €1,000 bet at odds of 50/1 on his sons winning this year’s contest.
All winnings from the bet will be donated to the Grimes family’s chosen charities of choice, The Marie Keating Foundation and the ISPCA.
At 50/1 the twins are outsiders in the betting to win this year’s X Factor but if they do go the distance, they’ll net a whopping €50,000 for charity. Even if the brothers fail to win Paddy Power will donate the stake money to their two favoured causes.
Paddy Power said: “We think the lads are great fun and we jumped at the opportunity to get behind them. Hopefully Robbie William’s support will give them the X Factor they need to go on and win!”
