Irish X-Factor twins John and Edward will be thanking their lucky stars tonight after surviving elimination courtesy of an unlikely helping hand by judge Simon Cowell.
“Jedward” were Paddy Power’s second favourites for eviction this week behind Lloyd Daniels but both acts, against the odds, have progressed through to next week.
25-year old Olly Murs remains the bookies red hot favourite at odds of 9/4 to win this years competition followed by Joe McElderry at 5/2. John and Edward have drifted in the odds from 6/1 to 10/1.
Paddy Power said “Talk about the luck of the Irish but if our betting is anything to go by it looks like storm clouds may be gathering for the terrible twins”

Well, to comment on the thousands of people that have complained about Jedward and their survival, THEY SHOULD’VE VOTED FOR LUCY IN THE FIRST PLACE. This is in no way Simon Cowells fault. Lucy said it best when she said that she didn’t have the X factor. Or something along those lines.
Gotta agree to be honest…. though Simon who’s always raving that its a “song contest” should have given Lucy the chance!
JEDWARD RULE AND I CANT WAIT 2 C IF THEY GO IN DA JUNGLE
