John & Edward get global fanmail

ITV

John & Edward have revealed that they have received X Factor fanmail from around the world.

The Irish twins, who will be performing 'Ghostbusters' on this weekend's show, claimed that they were overwhelmed by all the support they had received from viewers.

"All the fan mail you have sent us, we're bathing in it right now," said the Grimes brothers. "You guys are so cool and we read every single one. Some girls have sent us six letters, they know who they are, they rock.

"One person made a book, that's really cool and we appreciate all the mail we get. We've got mail from Sweden, Norway and Hong Kong, everywhere and we're really appreciative of it."

The duo, who are mentored by Louis Walsh, also said that they are currently not looking for girlfriends.

"So many people want to marry us or go out with us. We've only just turned 18. We're a bit young," they said.

The X Factor continues on Saturday at 8pm on ITV1.
