Jedward set for 'Baywatch' role

'X Factor' finalists John and Edward are being lined up for a role in the movie version of 'Baywatch'.

The tuneless duo have reportedly been spotted by original 'Baywatch' star David Hasselhoff, who wants them to appear in the movie version of the series, a project he has been trying to get off the ground for years.

'America's Got Talent' judge David said: "I loved John and Edward. I'd definitely give them a starring role.

"Can you imagine them running around the beach and saving people in the sea? They'd be hilarious.

"Hair and make-up staff would have to make sure their quiffs stayed in place!"

Lifeguard series 'Baywatch' - starring David as Mitch Buchannon - was the US programme which launched the career of Pamela Anderson and a host of other glamorous actors and actresses, and ran for 11 series from 1989 to 2000.

'Jump In My Car' singer David also said he wants the twins - dubbed Jedward - to sing the theme tune for the film with him, and predicts they will be a big hit in the US.

He added: "It would be so much fun. Jedward and The Hoff teaming up, could it get any better? I bet we could get a number one hit.

"They'll be stars I'm sure, whether in music, TV, movies - or all three. I've a feeling Jedward are going to be well known in the next year."
