Next month, the boys are planning to drop another single.
In addition, Jedward had planned to tour the UK later this year but unfortunately, it’s been postponed due to COVID.
John said: “The thing with music is that all live concerts have been cancelled so we have to reschedule our tour for 2021.
“That will be the year we get to see everyone on the road.
“We love travelling around the UK because there are so many quirky places where we get to stop along the way and get a snack or a cup of tea.”
Jedward in quarantine
Edward and John are currently quarantining at home in Dublin.
The boys had been staying in LA with their Celebrity Big Brother friend Tara Reid.
Now they’re back home, they’re trying to spend their time productively while self-isolating.

“We’re trying to stay creative and write songs,” John continued.
“It’s a weird situation to try and adapt to.
“We try and stay active and go out for walks. Some days you feel a little bit low and sometimes you feel healthy and other days you’re online to see what everyone’s saying.’
