X FACTOR sensations John and Edward Grimes have vowed not to let their dreams fall to the wayside in pursuit of money.
The Lucan twins, who have been tipped to become multi-millionaires in the coming months due to their newfound fame, claim they are not driven by wealth and have no desire for material goods.
"Right now, we just want to do every option -- we want to do every thing," John told Dublin 98's Gossip Girl, Siobhan O'Connor.
"People want us to do everything. Imagine us doing a TV show, people waking up to see John and Edward every morning. That would be deadly. We'd rather do it in Ireland, though.
"We're not driven by money at all. If we [don't] make any, then that's fine with us. We're just enjoying the fun and the craic.
"They are talking about The Simpsons. We haven't appeared on it yet, but imagine if Bart was like, 'Hey John, hey Edward,' and like he has a quiff and we have quiffs. It would be so cool."
The twins told Gossip Girl that they will be backing Stacey Solomon when they return to the X Factor stage in two weeks' time.
Edward said: "Stacey's like the last girl there, so it would be good to see her win. She was really nice, but we like them all.

"There were all these expectations on us. We had to prove ourselves more than anyone else.
"The weirdest rumours we heard about ourselves was that we had lice and swine flu.
"We were meeting fans in the rain and they were like, 'What are you doing out with Swine Flu?' It was funny."
And the quirky teens (18) were extremely impressed when they learned that Dave Moore, of the 98 morning crew, had his hair cut in a Jedward quiff.
