The Jedward twins told last night how they have become the victims of a "savage" hate campaign being waged by vile X Factor obsessives.

John and Edward Grimes, 18, say the abuse has got so bad they've been left unable to sleep and have been reduced to tears after receiving a barrage of threats from fans in the street.

Last night in an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mirror, the pair said: "We get hate mail and vicious letters. Some of the hate mail is so bad X Factor haven't let us see it.

"It's hard when we have to go out and perform and be happy and confident and smiley because we know if we slip up they'll come after us."
