Jedward rescued by coastguard after getting stuck on sandbank

Jedward have been rescued by the coastguard after getting stranded on sand in Ireland.

The pair were walking together in Malahide, Co Dublin recently when things went awry.

The Irish duo were left stuck on a sandbank as a result of incoming tide, with the singers forcing into calling for help.

The coastguard eventually came to their rescue as they battled six foot deep water to get to the pair.

Speaking to the Irish Sun, John Grimes said: "What we want to get across is how quickly this all happened. This got out of hand before we even realised. This could have been a tragedy but for the good work of the coastguard."

Mum Susanna, who alerted the coastguard after being called by her sons, added:

"It was terrifying for the boys. They ended up on shifting sands completely surrounded by water. This could have been a terrible tragedy but for the coastguard finding them. The boys were getting more and more desperate as the water was coming in. Thank God the coast guard sent the helicopter up and found it them trapped on the sand near Malahide."
