CONTROVERSIAL X FACTOR twins John and Edward Grimes landed the highest number of public votes at the weekend, The Sun can reveal.
The bombshell has sparked fears the Irish duo could give Simon Cowell his "worst nightmare" and become the shock WINNERS of this year's show.
The news emerged as police were called to control hundreds of hysterical fans who yesterday laid siege to the X Factor house, where the telly finalists are staying together.
Show insiders were stunned that the 18-year-old twins, from Dublin, came out top despite their virtually tone-deaf performance on Saturday night.
Meanwhile cocky favourite Danyl Johnson narrowly escaped the boot after landing in the bottom two.
One insider said: "It is extraordinary. John and Edward were miles ahead of any other act.
"Whoever wins the X Factor, you can usually guarantee they can sing.
"If John and Edward win, it will no longer be a show about great singers - it could be disastrous. But you know what? It could happen."
Last night Jedward's mentor Louis Walsh claimed they were riding high due to their "likeability factor".
He said: "Kids love these guys - everywhere I go they come up to me and tell me they think they're great.
"They're young, they're fun and they have the likeability factor, which is what this show is all about.
"I know some don't like them, but they should back off and leave them alone. They put a smile on your face - what's wrong with that?"
The twins have attracted some high-profile fans including Westlife, Robbie Williams and Noel Gallagher.
Groups have been set up on social networking site Facebook urging people to vote in support of the duo.
More than 100,000 have joined a Facebook campaign to get them OUT.
The twins do not receive votes from their home nation as ITV only accepts votes from Northern Ireland.
Agent Jonathan Shalit, who looks after acts including chart-toppers N-Dubz, said last night: "The twins can't really sing but they are likeable.
"If they win, it would be Simon Cowell's worst nightmare.
"Look at the success he's had with Leona Lewis in America. Can you seriously see him taking John and Edward across the pond and telling everyone they're the next big thing?"
A massive 14.8million tuned in to Sunday's results show, which saw Miss Frank eventually voted off.
The giant figure is the same as last week's record haul and 1.3million MORE than tuned in on Saturday.
Some viewers complained their votes for other acts were accidentally allocated to John and Edward when they called the voting lines.
But last night an ITV spokesman insisted there were no irregularities.
Earlier there were chaotic scenes outside the X Factor house as fans' excitement reached fever pitch on the first day of school half-term.
Police were called as screaming teenagers spilled on to the streets and tried to climb over the security fence outside the North London property.
Fans, some from as far away as Yorkshire, set up camp in the early hours in a vain bid to see their idols.

More arrived as the day went on, swelling the crowd to danger levels.
And as the stars returned from filming, the fans' shrill shrieks could be heard more than half a mile away.Meanwhile cops struggled to restrain the mob as they ran into the road.
Stacey fan Mark Marshall, 16, travelled from Bradford, West Yorks, to spend a week outside the house.
He said: "I'll be here every day from 7.30am until the last person leaves."
Leanne Yfrah, nine, came with sister Shelley, three, and mum Even.
Leanne said: "I like all of them, I want to meet them and get their autographs."

X Factor bosses have reportedly held crisis talks after the shock outcome of last night's public vote.
The meeting came after bookies' favourite Danyl Johnson found himself in the bottom two along with girl band Miss Frank.
Both acts had received praise from the judges following their performances on Saturday night's big band show and Simon Cowell branded Danyl's presence in the bottom two as "a joke".
A source at the programme told The Sun: "They need to work out whether they've given the acts the best songs."
The insider added that the producers want to ensure that "the best acts" do not end up in a similar position over the coming weeks.
News of the meeting came after controversial act John and Edward once again found themselves voted through to the next round by the public.
The duo were booed by the studio audience and faced criticism by the judges for their singing.
Danyl Johnson was said to be 'destroyed' at having to take part in the sing-off, however, he was spared when the judges' vote resulted in deadlock and Miss Frank were sent home.
Simon Cowell reportedly lost his temper with X Factor co-stars Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue backstage on Sunday night.
The music mogul accused the pair of not being committed enough to their acts and spending too much time on their outfits during a showdown behind the scenes, according to The Mirror.
It is thought that the dispute occurred shortly after girl group Miss Frank were voted off following their sing-off with Cowell's protégé Danyl Johnson.
An insider said: "Simon could not believe his act Danyl - or Miss Frank for that matter - were in the sing-off and he was in a foul mood all evening.
"After the show he let rip at Cheryl and Dannii. They are always immaculately turned out and spend ages choosing their clothes and accessories, having their hair and make-up done and perfecting their look. But in no uncertain terms Simon told them it's a talent show, not a fashion show.
"He told the girls he wants them to spend less time in front of the mirror and in their dressing rooms and more time concentrating on their acts, song choices and criticisms."
Cowell recently claimed that press rumours were to blame for Johnson's setback on the programme.

X FACTOR has been rocked by a bullying row after it was claimed singer Danyl Johnson has turned rival Stacey Solomon into a sobbing wreck.
He told her she has been branded a bad mum and that seedy stories about her sex life are doing the rounds.
And he has been accused of targeting the vulnerable single mum as his own popularity sinks.
Insiders say Stacey, 20, is already “in bits” at being separated from her 18-month-old son Zach. And she has been stung by hurtful stories that she is a bad mum for leaving the tot at home.
She told the other finalists not to show her any newspapers but Danyl has deliberately ignored her pleas.
He has been thrusting articles in her face and reading them out in a loud voice, leaving Stacey in tears.
A show source said: “Stacey was adamant when she moved into the X Factor house that she did not want to read or hear any stories about herself.
“She got terribly upset when people had a go at her for being away from her son and saying she should be ‘a proper mum’.
“Then Zach’s dad told a mag that Stacey had been making out she was looking after Zach on her own and didn’t give him any credit. Plus stories about her sex life have been doing the rounds. She hates it. It makes her cry.
“All she wants to do is focus on the contest and provide a better life for her kid.
“She didn’t expect all this horrible bullying. But Danyl has just ignored her wishes and he can’t help blabbing when he sees an article about her in the paper. It upsets her and can put her off her performance.”
This is the second time Danyl, 27, has been caught up in a behind-the-scenes row.
Two weeks ago girl band Kandy Rain revealed that he had been cruel to them. Their mentor Louis Walsh, 57, said: “The girls rang me crying.
“Danyl was slagging them off, telling them they were never going to win. He really bullied them. Danyl is vile.”
Just a fortnight ago he was the bookies’ fave to win. X Factor boss Simon Cowell, 50, claimed the hunk had given “the best first audition ever” and that his performances were “in a different league” to the others.
But now he is fighting for survival. On Sunday’s results show, watched by 13.9million viewers, he ended up in the sing-off against Miss Frank.
It went to the public vote and Danyl won.But his chances of winning the show are now doomed. In all previous X Factor shows, the eventual winner has never been in a sing-off.
Danyl’s fall from grace has been attributed to several factors. Viewers are starting to find him smug, false and arrogant.
On the first live show, judges Louis and Cheryl Cole, 26, openly branded him “cocky”. Louis told him: “You are the most overconfident person in the competition. You need to become more likeable.”
On Saturday’s live show Danyl gushed, “It’s nice to have you back Louis” after the Irish pop boss missed a weekend of shows due to the death of Boyzone star Stephen Gately.
Fans thought he appeared “a creep” and “over- sincere”. And very few are backing him as a winner any longer.
Bookies Ladbrokes claimed yesterday that they had received just one £50 bet on him to win since Sunday night’s sing-off.
A spokesman said: “Danyl’s plight came as a real shock.
“It’s knocked punters’ faith in him. We can’t give him away at the moment.”
The news has angered Danyl’s mentor and show supremo Simon Cowell, 50.
He secretly expected him to win this year’s show but has admitted that stories in the papers have not helped the singer.
But he insisted he did not blame the media.
Last night an X Factor spokesman declined to comment.
I have to say if The twins win ill never watch the X factor again
I thought big band week meant swing music i.e Sinatra, Buble etc
How is Ricky Martin and U2 big bang music?:confused:
I dont know if i see a clear winner yet or even who will be in the final 3 - i do hope its Olly Stacey and Jamie
I hope Olly is in the final 3 and not overshadowed by Danyl
