But, speaking to Metro.co.uk, they denied all talk of that particular reality TV show for the first time, and insisted they will not be entering the Australian jungle either.

Jedward – currently promoting their latest single Bad Behaviour – first decided to have some fun by hinting there was some validity behind the reports. 

Joking around, Edward said: 'We’re not denying it but we’re not saying we have been approached. There are always rumours about this. 

'Bad Behaviour has the initials BB and it doesn’t just stand for Bad Behaviour...' 

But sensing his brother's playful attitude, John swiftly chipped in confirming: 'We’re not doing either.' 

It’s a shame they won't be appearing on the show as they explained how they’ve already made friends with former BB star Imogen Thomas - another celebrity said to be in line to enter the Big Brother house when it returns to TV screens on Channel 5 this autumn.

Speaking about a recent event where they met the curvy babe, Edward said: 'Everyone was like "oh my god, what the hell she did" but me and John didn’t really know what she did and just treated her normally and she really appreciated that. 

'She’s really cool. Her hair is silky smooth.'

But the boys, who plan to be in the public eye for a while yet thanks to their ‘great fans’, revealed they have plans for how they'd survive in the house - even though they'd never go in.

'If we were going to go in we’d have to have a code so we could get out of there or if we were really liking it so our fans would know to vote for us or not to vote,' John said. 

Edward added: 'If me and John were in there we’d make it PG and tell everyone not to be doing bad things.'

Though Big Brother and I'm A Celeb... might not have tickled their fancy, the Irish lads, who shot to fame in 2009 after appearing on X Factor, did admit they’ve had plenty of other TV offers from around Europe as well as having their own programme in the pipeline called ‘Who You Gonna Call’. 

John said: 'We’ve been offered TV shows all around the world. We’ve been offered the German Big Brother and all these different TV shows.' 

Edward then added: 'And we have a new TV show coming out as well.

'It’s going to be called ‘Who You Gonna Call?' where people can call us up, it’s not official yet, but it's going to be in Ireland.'
