One of the best known names in showbiz PR reckons X Factor hopefuls John and Edward should set their sights on a TV presenting job – like younger versions of ‘Ant and Dec’.

Max Clifford thinks they are entertaining and they’re part of the reason the latest X Factor series has been so successful so far.

The PR Guru – who manages Simon Cowell, amongst others, told Breakfast here on Newstalk that the Dublin twins should work on getting a manager who knows their way around the TV business.

“Within a few weeks of mercifully being kicked off…they will be announcing their new series- possibly a special around Christmas- so that the huge exposure doesn’t wain” he said.

“They’ve got two, three, four, five months to get things moving” he added.
