Jedward are being lined up to front a new Saturday morning show for CBBC, according to reports.
The Sun claims that the BBC wants the former X Factor stars to become the next Ant & Dec after their ITV2 show was axed.
There are also reports that they want to compete in Eurovision
Now, I can actually see them working (in a bizarre way) on childrens TV, but I cant quite see them being a new Ant and Dec ... thoughts? ...

No, scrub that 'cos there's lots at it aren't there?
The only qualities you need to present programmes on any channel these days seem to be, to be instantly recognisable by a large number of potential viewers..... and a pulse.
It happens, so the networks must be of that opinion too.
Sam Nixon and Mark Rhodes are currently having a good CBBC career and they were runners up in Pop Idol.
All this is true, but quality and standards aren't as important as is getting the maximum numbers of viewers to watch....anything!
I mean, I am always defending the BBC from anti-licence fee protesters, but if there is a shred of truth to this, it's going to make my argument for the BBC to be kept funded by the licence fee very hard indeed if the BBC panders to this. Jedward on the BBC would make it far easier for Murdoch and other anti-licence fee commentators to present their case for voluntary subscription (under BSkyB's adminstration I suspect).
They might have a future on tv, but not as proper tv presenters, as anyone who has seen them on tv knows. Their celebrity relies on being seen as celebrities, to justify them cropping up on Celeb Juice doing stupid things.
I don't think it's fair to compare them with Sam and Mark, because they actually have some presenting ability, as do Ant and Dec. I have no issue with people getting into presenting when they started off being famous for something else, so long as they have the basic aptitude.
Wouldnt it be cheaper & just as effective to employ Uppsy Daisy & Igglepiggle seeing as they are out of work.?
What are these pair of cretins going to bring to the table? Oh for the days of Noel Edmonds , Jonny Morris & Tony Hart.
Yep, exactly what I'm thinking.
I don't want to get rid of the licence fee. I want the BBC to be truly accountable, for the "non jobs" to go and the waste to be cut.(not just Alan Yentob).
In fact it to be run like a "proper business."
I thought this was what they already did ? children's tv presenting .
what else do they do ?
Operation Jedward: the secret mission to end the telly tax. I like it!
Then you'd get MORE presenters like Jedward!
Besides, you can treat the article with a pinch of salt.
Won't somebody think of the children!!!!
Steady!
You'll have people listing some of those they have, or are still employing and it could lead to litigation!
I thought that too.
Pop concerts.
Do you remember when Teletubbies first appeared on the telly and the BBC was criticised by many for allowing a load of puppets to talk mumbo jumbo to children. Well.........
I have to be honest, I hate these pair of ****s. Not only are they talentless but they talk b******ks, and do so very loudly so that they drown out contributions from others who do have something relevant to say.
If this is true and the BBC are going to do this then batten down the hatches all you BBC supporters.
As long as they dont sing they should do fine.
that makes my stomach churn.
This is true and they'll have all the presenting skills necessary for a lot of jobs in TV today.
I think the problem is that there is competition from channels like Nickelodeon and what have you that the BBC think that they should dumb down in order to get more children watching.
Looks like those experts who many years ago predicted that having too many channels will mean a reduction in quality were correct.
