John and Edward Grimes, 17, are identical twins from Dublin, Ireland. They live with their mother Susan, father Brian and older brother Kevin. John is older than Edward by 10 minutes. They started singing at the age of five. There was controversy surrounding the two of them when they tried to sing over the other people in their group during the bootcamp auditions. Simon said that they had put the people in their group at a disadvantage and as a result the other contestants were axed after Louis championed the twins.
