Over the past year or so, Jedward have experienced a renaissance.
Twitter activists, reality contest judges and, as we'll discuss, TikTok stars, the twins are back with a bang. As a lover of anything nostalgic, I'm personally 100% on board. Jedward have gone from auditioning for Louis Walsh to
putting him and the entire X Factor franchise on blast via Twitter (it's the drama we needed during an otherwise quiet year), and their TikTok content is... interesting to say the least. If you've ever wondered what's going on inside their heads, this is a literal and I'd imagine very accurate insight. Their TikTok canon has all the randomness and incoherence of a lost series of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and we'll be reviewing it as such.

The twins go speed dating with Little Mix
It's a shame those crazy kids couldn't work it out.

The twins build a sandcastle
And also give some really interesting insight into what life was like in Viking Ireland.

The twins visit the Poolbeg Towers
I was today years old when I learnt the actual names of these towers. Mind blown.

Will we be seeing you go down a Jedward TikTok hole? Personally I'd 100% recommend, it's a weird but inoffensive and strangely comforting journey.
