X Factor contestants John & Edward reportedly suffered severe bullying during their time at an Irish boarding school.

In one incident, the twins were tied up in laundry sacks and hung from a first floor window, the Sunday Mirror reports.

According to the newspaper, the boys - aged 13 at the time - were dangled over a 20-foot drop for ten minutes.

The 15-year-old who was identified as the ringleader of the bullies was suspended.

A fellow boarder said: "The twins could be quite cheeky to the older boarders, who gave them a hard time. But the laundry bags thing was taking it a bit far. Obviously, they were panicking. They were terrified."

The newspaper tracked down the boy who is believed to have orchestrated the bullying. Commenting on the incident, he admitted: "I was suspended over that kind of general stuff, yeah.

"We could have tied them up - I can't remember exactly. There was a lot of stuff done."

Richard Piggin, from the charity Beatbullying, has praised John & Edward.

He commented: "The abuse the twins suffered is horrific. But they're sending out the right message. They say, 'No, I'm better than you, you're not going to stop me fulfilling my potential'."

It is horrible and putting a life in danger to bolster your minuscule self confidence is criminal and should have been treated as such.
