Jedward to guide tourists

Pop duo Jedward will feature in a new CBBC programme which sees them play tourist guides at Edinburgh Castle.

In Jedward’s Big Adventure, to be screened on February 9, the pair will be given just 24 hours to learn everything there is to know about a World Heritage Site, before having to communicate the facts to a group of tourists.

The Irish singers – famed for their vertical blonde hair – will join Chris Rankin from Harry Potter and Live ’n’ Deadly host Naomi Wilkinson to experience all things medieval and spooky for a day.

The teams will learn about body snatching, the plague and the pirates imprisoned in the Castle – and they will even have the privilege to give the order to fire the One o’Clock Gun.
