X Factor rejects John & Edward have reportedly been offered £50,000 to enter I'm A Celebrity....
According to The Sun, Louis Walsh has flown to Dublin to meet with the Grimes twins' parents and persuade them that entering the jungle will boost their sons' careers.
Walsh has been given a 5.30pm deadline by ITV to confirm the deal.
"ITV are determined to get the twins. A flight can be arranged in time so they could be in camp by this weekend," said a source. "It would be a nailed on ratings-winning coup if Louis manages to persuade them it's a good move for their career.
"Louis still believes ITV haven't offered enough money. But the twins were completely unknown a couple of months ago and everyone around them is saying they should make hay while the sun shines."
Simon Cowell has allegedly described it as a "great idea" for the brothers to head to Australia.
When asked about appearing on the show yesterday, Edward told GMTV: "I'm A Celebrity... - do we have that title? We're up for any challenge, we've got to think about it together and see if it's for us."
