The Original Article from Metro

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.'

Three More names connected with CBB 2011

Sun, 05 Jun 2011 09:49:53 +0100

The Daily Star has reported that three more Celebrity Names have been connected for 'Celebrity Big Brother 8'

A DOUBLE whammy of blonde bombshells will explode into Celebrity Big Brother this summer.

Playboy girl Bridget Marquardt is just one of the sexy stars being lined up for the show’s return to telly.

And Mr Blonde from hit film Reservoir Dogs, better known as actor Michael Madsen, is set to add some hard-hitting Hollywood grit.

Last night a show source revealed: “It looks like Celebrity Big Brother has got blonde ambition this year.” A third name leaked to the Daily Star Sunday is Rachel Uchitel, one of Tiger Woods’ mistresses.

The show insider added: “The two girls are sure to provide hours of exciting action for viewers. And Michael is as unpredictable as Hollywood stars get.”

Bosses from the Channel 5 show flew to Tinseltown last week to help spice up this summer’s line-up.

And their first port of call was sexy Bridget. The 34D model from TV’s Playboy Mansion: Girls Next Door turned down I’m A Celebrity and was replaced with Bunny Girl Kayla Collins last year.

Bridget, 37, is an ex-love of Hugh Hefner, 85, and they’re hoping she will spill the beans on what goes on in his infamous Playboy Mansion.

Nightclub boss Rachel is just one of the women rumoured to have had an affair with golf ace Tiger.

But she was already a well-known face after she was pictured shortly after the 9/11 attacks clutching a picture of her husband, who died in the World Trade Center in New York.

Producers also held talks with actor Madsen, 53. He has been married three times and last year made the headlines after a nine-day booze bender in Cornwall.

Madsen is pals with Vinnie Jones and Stephen Baldwin who were both on CBB last year. Meanwhile Big Brother is launching the search for the UK’s wackiest contestants.

Auditions start in Manchester at 8.30am on Friday at Old Trafford stadium before going to London later this month. Visit bigbrotherauditions.com
