About this listen

This week, Emily and Raymond are on Hampstead Heath - with John and Edward Grimes, collectively known as Jedward!


John and Edward are identical twins from Dublin - who shot to fame on The X Factor in 2009 when they were 17 years old. They have gone on to become pop culture icons - releasing four albums, representing Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest twice and appearing on Celebrity Big Brother - and much, much more!


John and Edward’s family dog Blaze is back in Ireland - but they have a long history with dogs including a Shih Tzu! Raymond was utterly delighted to spend the afternoon with this iconic duo!


We discuss how people treat them as a result of their public persona, how they feel after losing their mum - and why they fought so hard to be authentic to themselves on The X Factor.
