Jedward, who are set to represent their native Ireland at this year's Eurovision, have opened up about their sexuality in the latest issue of GT Magazine. 

The twins, John and Edward, explained that despite being at the mercy of throngs of female fans they can't react because the press would be all over it and would use the stories as entertainment:

"We know all these girls but we can’t go out with them because it’d be a huge press story"

The pair also addressed rumours about their sexuality, and explained:

"It happened to Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, the Jonas Brothers. You’ve got to realise what comes with being in the public eye. We don’t mind if people call us gay; it’s not a big deal. We like girls."

In addition to talking about their abstinence, they also debuted a new, edgy look in the magazine which will be available from Wednesday, April 20. Watch Jedward's latest home video here:
