X Factor twins John and Edward could earn millions, says Max Clifford

 John and Edward Grimes

Media spin-doctor Max Clifford predicts Jedward could be millionaires before their 20th birthday — even though he hates their music.

The celebrity agent said he believes John and Edward Grimes have a bright future ahead of them, even if they're booted off the ITV contest.

“I'm astonished they've gone as far as they have, but they've obviously got huge support. Simon tells me they're very nice lads, although musically he obviously isn't a fan,'' Max said. Clifford, whose high-profile clients have included Kerry Katona and Jade Goody, continued: “Most people seem to think they're having fun themselves on the show. They've not got huge egos so that's very much in their favour.

“They've certainly got a bright future in the short-term no matter what happens on the show.

Max added how the key to making the most of their 15 minutes of fame relies on them securing the right agent.

“They've got a huge profile but they don't have the same opportunities as people bringing out records because you can't imagine people would want to hear them sing.

“But television shows and appearances, TV commercials — all these things are open to them providing they have the right person looking after them,” he said.

“If they're got someone like that in place, then certainly they could easily be on their way to making a million pounds or more.”
