ITV2's new series Jedward: Let Loose has exclusive access to their experimental attempt to cut the apron strings and go it alone. Viewers will see the boys attempting to live in separate bedrooms for the first time in their lives, having shared a room their entire lives. The boys will have to cook, clean and fend for themselves, a tall order when they are used to relying on mum to sort out all their domestic chores.

Were you excited to be moving out of home and into your own apartment for a week?
“Yes, we were really excited about moving out of our home because we had no bedtime curfew. And we could get a pet monkey.”
Do you do any cooking at home with you mum? If so, what do you cook?
“Me and John are the worst cooks in the world. Our best cooking is toast and cereal.”
When you moved out of home what was the one thing you were looking forward to the most?
“The thing we were looking forward to most was having a swimming pool in our apartment, but we never got one.”
At home you share a room and in the flat there are two rooms, how do you feel about having your own room for the first time? Or will you try and stay together in the same room?
“I think me and John as we are brothers have that bond that no one can separate us. We don’t like being in separate rooms as we have no one to talk to, and wake up if we have nightmares.”
Did you stamp your mark on the flat and put up any posters, etc?
“We decided to make our own posters, we have a tour coming up so we decided to make a poster for it and decorate the apartment with them.”
Fans soon found out where you lived, did any try and sneak into the apartment?
“Yes, fans found out where we lived after just a few days, and they were waiting outside the apartment all day. We bought them pizza and food and they snuck up to our door one night and put stickers on it.”
What did you miss most from home?
“We missed our pets and doing normal things like looking through our CD collection in our room. We missed our mum and dad, but they came to visit us one night.”
What did you enjoy the most about living away from home?
“That we could do whatever we wanted, anytime we wanted. It was all our rules, and we had a lot of fun.”
Edward, you recently hurt your leg, had this meant you’ve been able to get out of doing the chores around the house?
“Yes, John had to do all the work for me. I actually was able to do most things, but I decided to use it to my advantage and make other people do the work for me.”
Which one of you is the messiest?
“Edward is definitely the messiest. He always throws his clothes everywhere and loses things. I'm way more organised than him.”
Are you both romantic? What would be your perfect date?
“It wouldn’t be stereotypical. It would be something completely different and something fun, but we haven’t thought of what it would be.”
Jedward: Let Loose starts at 9pm on Tuesday 24th August 2010 on ITV2.
