Jedward set for panto this Christmas

The life of being popstars will have to wait for a little bit longer, as Jedward have agreed to appear in panto this Christmas.

Although summer has not even been yet, the boys have put their names down to appear at Dublin's Olympia theatre in a production of Cinderella.

While some people may think that John and Edward could be suited to the role of the ugly sisters, they are in fact set to appear as Cinderella's fairy godbrothers and grant her wish to go to the ball.

After the boys missed out on topping the charts with their cover of Under Pressure, which featured a rap by Vanilla Ice, they were dropped by their record company, but their appearance in the show will mean that their fans will get to see them on stage for a while longer yet.

Hopefully their acting role will go a little more smoothly than one of their nights on the X Factor tour, during which the Sun reports that Edward became stuck in a harness.

Til tomorrow Lola Maniche
