Double trouble: Jedward’s company has fallen into a loss

Wow Oh Wow: it looks like unlikely Irish pop twins Jedward are Under Pressure, after they made a loss of almost €235,000 (£207,000) in the past two years.

How Did You Know? Their company, Planet Jedward, filed results with the Irish Companies Registration Office. 

The figures showed while the pair, who rose to fame in 2008 during a stint on X Factor, spent just under €100,000 on staff costs in 2014, in the year to the end of December 2015, staffing barely Leave(s) A Mark, at just €18,274.

But it looks like Jedward, also known as John and Edward Grimes, Want Candy: they racked up directors' transactions of €97,672 each in 2015, up from €71,849 each in 2014. 

Meanwhile, the amount owed to creditors rose from €13,645 in 2014 to €19,811. Either they're going to have to sing a Hope Song or they can Make [Their] Own Luck. 

Although no upcoming concert dates are listed on their site, the pair is due to play the O2 Academy in Brixton on 16 October.

Yesterday they tweeted their excitement after "Twinspiration" Bros announced plans to reform.
