X-Factor fans spark a diplomatic incident.

Who would have thought it but X-Factor groupies have sparked a possible diplomatic incident between the United Kingdom and China. We reported yesterday on how fans of John and Edward Grimes had besieged the X-Factor house in Golders Green, London.

It seems with the mid-term break in full swing the hordes of X-Factor groupies has got so bad, and their antics have spilled over to neighbouring proprieties including the home of the ambassador of the People's Republic of China Madam Fu Ying and she's not seeing the humorous side of this.



Apparently a complaint has been lodged with the Foreign Office about the behaviour of the fans and the Police are now in talks with X-Factor's production company, Talk Back.

A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy said "I can confirm there was a complaint. The reason is several times late at night and early in the mornings the teenage fans were noisy and disturbing"

The Twins at the 3rd Live Show

It was Bing Bang week and what can we expect from the Twins? A Rat Pack classic, something ever green by Count Bassie or maybe even an energetic Cab Calloway performance. If you expected any of that you've clearly not been watching the show for the last few weeks.

The Twins only do pop-ular music with the empahsis on the pop, and they do this in their own inimitable way. This week they decided that Ricky Martin's She Bangs was in dire need on a Big Band interpretation and what an interpreation they gave it.

Chaos in Golders Green as Twin fans lay siege.

This is the house on Golders Green where the X-Factor Finalists are staying

The road is a quiet leafy suburban road in Golders Green, with homes costing over a £1 million pounds. It is an upper middle class oasis in cosmopolitan London. That was until the X-Factor circus arrived.

Life has not been the same since, as thousand of teens storm the area day after day to catch a glimpse of their new heroes, the X-Factor finalists.

It is the fans of John and Edward Grimes however that neighbours in the area seemed to be most miffed with.

Fans of the twins have been accused of scribbling obscene messages on the walls and two teenage fans were reported to the police for flashing their boobs at the twins who had appeared briefly at the window.

One neighbour said "We are sick to the back teeth of the disruption and if the police don't sort it, we will. People round here are extremely wealthy and have personal security. If necessary, we will blockade the street and stop the crowd our selves"

Another complained "It's bedlam. The girls are getting their boobs out and all sorts"

Britain's Got Humour...

That's the general verdict as the Twins survive another week on the TV Talent show the X-Factor. The ITV Website has been overwhelmed with viewers complaining about the dynamic Irish duo.

However their mentor Louis Walsh has hit back at the critics saying "The point of the music is to entertain, and they do this very well".

Looks like Louis has his work cut out as the twins John and Edward Grimes are his last chance of winning this year's X-Factor having already lost girl groups Kandy Rain and Miss Frank and the show is only three weeks in.

The Twins offered one way ticket...to Ireland

A cheeky travel firm has captured the some of the essence of this year's X-Factor with its offer of a one way ticket back to Ireland for twins John and Edward Grimes.

The company LastMinute.com in its latest publicity blitz made the offer to the Grimes brothers or any other twins called John and Edward.

A spokesman said: "The twins are good fun but perhaps it's time for X Factor to go back to being more about talent.

"I'm sure a lot of fans will have their fingers crossed that they get in touch with us."

Who would have thought. The Guardian supports the Twins

Now your average Guardian reader has more compelling things to worry about than what's happening in the X-Factor.

What with the debates such as "In praise of ... phantasmagoria", "Our speechless outrage demands a new language of the common good", "The right think Obama is an ideological Typhoid Mary" and other such heavy weight topics to keep them engaged, you would have thought they had no time for the inanities of X-Factor.

You would have thought wrong. Today's newspaper had some really high praise for one of the contestants...Yes, the Twins.

Shocking is isn't it. It is not everyday you hear John and Edward Grimes descibed as

two shining knights who single-handedly manage to stop the entire series from sliding into a long, flat, never-ending funk of flaccid inadequacy. That's right - I'm talking about the mighty, often Jesuslike, John and Edward.

Well I never!. After reading the whole article I am actually beginning to be swayed and may change my loyalties...

X-Factor Twins, the new Ant and Dec?

The X-Factor Twins who have been dubbed the cockiest contestants ever and are hated and loved by many. It seems there is a method behind the Twins cockiness.

John and Edward Grimes have pleaded with viewers to give them a chance, says a report. The 17-year-olds have said that they believe that they could become as popular as Ant and Dec.

The Irish pair were given a place in the live finals by mentor Louis Walsh but are favourites to be the first act to exit the contest.

X-Factor Twins: "We are not really cocky"

The X-Factor Twins, John and Edward Grimes have denied that they are really as cocky as they have been portrayed on the Hit reality talent TV show, the X-Factor.

John insisted they were genuine people, saying: "It's a TV show but when you get to know us you'll know we're just nice guys."

Edward agreed, saying: "A lot of people are making out like we're cocky, arrogant and naive but at the end of the day we're only 17 and we haven't done anything wrong.

"Gossip is not always true and we know, and our family knows that it's not true."

He added that he had faith in mentor Walsh to take them to the top.

He said: "The main thing about Louis is that he is a really loyal guy, he's a really nice guy and he'll always support you no matter what. He's there for all of us. I think he's a really good mentor."

John & Edward most hated X-Factor contestant ever ?

John and Edwards the Twins from Ireland have been controversial from day one and it looks like the Great British Public have decided they aren't to keen on what they see.

Over 100,000 people have joined a Facebook groups dedicated to dissing the twins and another 400 similar groups have been set up since the cocky 17-year-olds from Dublin made it to the finals of the ITV1 talent show.

The We HATE John and Edward group says: "They are ugly and talentless."

They had already been branded "vile creatures" by judge Simon Cowell.
