Pop brothers Jedward claim they’ve been “been banned for life” from the X Factor after snubbing the show.
Bosses hoped to get the Eurovision stars – who started their career on the ITV series – back for a performance with the most loved acts of the past 11 years.
However Jedward’s manager, and mum, turned down the performance as she believes they deserve their own slot.

Susanna Condron told the Irish Sun: “X Factor producers actually then offered Jedward the chance to do their own song in the X Factor finale — but in the ad breaks.
“It meant the performance could only last for two minutes and not be seen on TV. It was ridiculous so we broke off contact.
“They said if we don’t play ball on this, we will never be on the show ever again”.

And Susanna, who looks after the boys after splitting from Louis Walsh, feels X Factor bosses want to “forever keep Jedward in 2009.”
A source added: “The boys are deeply hurt that they might be banned from the X Factor for life.”
An X Factor spokesman confirmed they had approached “a number of past acts” about performing at the final.
