They are the twins who lost out on X Factor glory - but Jedward have become Ireland's next Eurovision entrants with the song Lipstick.



The duo beat four other acts on RTE's Late Late Show on Friday night and will now go through to the semi-finals of the contest in Dusseldorf in May.



It was a close race. After the jury votes Nikki Kavanagh, who performed Falling, was in the lead.

Paddy Power odds ahead of the competition

Bling - Shine On: 9/2

The Vard Sisters - Send Me An Angel: 6

Don Mescall - Talking With Jennifer: 8



It's gonna be exciting, amazing, full on.



From the moment we start people are going to have their lipstick on.

Originally, the rules stated that regional juries and the public were to have an equal say on who should go through to the semi-finals.



However, the juries were given two-thirds of the vote after Jedward's song was leaked online, against competition rules.

I'm now ashamed to be part Irish >_>
