Eurovision - Jedward
Jedward are being tipped as hot favourites to represent Ireland in the 2011 Eurovision song contest.
The former X Factor contestants, who will compete against four other acts to be Ireland's Eurovision entrants this May in the German city of Duesseldorf, have been installed as 8-1 favourites by bookies William Hill.
The brothers will perform on RTE's Late Late Show on February 11 where the winner will be decided.
Also in the mix, according to reports, are Nikki Kavanagh, The Vard Sisters, Don Mescall and an as-yet-unnamed new band.
The winner will be determined through a combination of a public vote and marks from a judging panel.
Jedward have reportedly signed a deal to become the new faces of Coco Pops.
The twins, who are representing Ireland at this year's Eurovision Song Contest, will replace Coco the Monkey mascot on boxes of the chocolate flavoured cereal.
Kellogg's bosses are said to have recruited the former X Factor stars in a deal worth £180,000. They will film a TV advert in Los Angeles.
John Grimes told the News of the World: "When you walk into the shop all you will see is our faces and kids will be begging their parents to buy us. That's going to be cool."
The pair also revealed that they will front a Saturday morning children's show on CBBC this summer.
Jedward already have endorsement deals with moneysupermarket.com, Nintendo and recently sold their Eurovision single 'Lipstick' for use in a new Hyundai advertising campaign.
