Jedward on location at the Tower of London (seen here with a Yeoman Warder, in Tudor costume) while filming the first episode in their new BBC show "Jedwards Big Adventure". The stairway leads to the Traitors Gate which had direct access to the River Thames. Many of those destined for execution as traitors were brought to the Tower by boat, arriving at this entrance. Visitors today can walk along the battlements which circle the Tower, and under which this entrance passes. The Irish Hip Hop duo - Jedward, consisting of identical twins John and Edward Grimes are seen here next to Traitor's Gate at the Tower of London while filming the first episode of their new BBC series "Jedward's Big Adventure", the first episode of which appeared in February 2012. They are easily recognised with their blond quiffs and friendly, mischievous personalities. They first appeared as John & Edward on the "X Factor" in 2009, generating a phenomenon described as the "Jedward Paradox". They are now managed by Louis Walsh, their mentor during the show. In 2011 they came third in the TV show "Celebrity Big Brother" and they were invited back to the 2012 show as "Gnomes" to give secret orders to contestants. They represented Ireland in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest, achieving 8th place. They have had various singles in the music charts and their debut studio album "Planet Jedwood" reached number one in the Irish Albums Chart and was certified double platinum in Ireland.
