Happy 21st Birthday Jedward! 21 Of The Grimes Twins' Best Pictures And Quotes

Happy 21st Birthday Jedward!

Jedward turn 21 today. No we didn't get the numbers round the wrong way, John and Edward Grimes really are twenty one years of age.TWENTY FLIPPIN' ONE!

The terrible twosome first won our hearts/irritated the hell out of us (delete as appropriate) back in 2009 aged 17 when they auditioned for 'The X Factor'.

Since then they have achieved three Irish number one singles and albums, represented Ireland twice at Eurovision, had a stint in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house and continue to make Keith Lemon look like the sane one on 'Celebrity Juice'.

And so we wish our favourite famous twins (with the exception of the Alessi sisters from 'Neighbours' and the Cheeky Girls, obvs) a very happy birthday with a look back over some of their most ridiculous pictures and most memorable quotes (it took some narrowing down).
