Louis Walsh was the mentor for the twins during their run on the ITV1 show. He will now mentor them in the real world by managing their career and is currently looking in to record deals and TV possibilities. Louis is said to be delighted with the arrangement.

"Despite all the doubters, John and Edward proved themselves on The X Factor and I've always been convinced that they have a great career ahead of them," Louis Walsh said who has always been rooting for the boys during their time on the show. "I'm delighted that I'll be able to continue to work with the pair. We're looking into music as well as TV deals but at this stage it is too early to give any exact details," Walsh continued.

When the "X Factor" contestants leave the show they are took on by Modest Management. They represent all 12 finalists until the show ends, but Louis Walsh has come to an agreement in which he will co-manage the brothers with CEO of broadcasting company Global Group, Ashley Tabor. "Jedward are this year's X Factor phenomenon and I'm thrilled to be able to put the scale of the Global Group behind them alongside Louis, developing what I am sure will be a great career for them both. It's an exciting future," Mr Tabor said.
