They were booed for singing over fellow contestants during The X Factor boot camp last week, but 17-year-old twins John and Edward Grimes quite frankly don't care.

The cocky Dubliners know they're being painted as villains by the media and online forums, but it's a role they're embracing.

‘They don't mind being called villains, as they know it means they stand out from the crowd,' says Now's exclusive source. 'But it's all bravado. They are deeply insecure and actually can't sing that well.

'They've even asked other contestants for mini crash-course lessons in harmonising and how to hit the right notes. They can't believe they've got this far.'
