Fans as far away as Australia have been snapping up tickets to see cheeky twins Jedward perform in Chatham.

In the first few hours more than 100 tickets were sold to the show at The Central Theatre on Friday, September 27.

And the Irish songsters – John and Edward – have a global following with tickets being bought for the Chatham show by fans in the Netherlands and Bosnia, and as far away as Russia and Australia.

The twins first found fame on the TV talent show X Factor in 2009 when they made it as far as the final six.

Since then they have represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest twice, gone on to release nine singles, three albums, and appear on Celebrity Big Brother and their own reality TV shows.
