The "X-Factor" twins, who were recently voted off the singing competition, are currently seeking a number of other showbiz opportunities.

These could include a turn on the legendary cartoon series, a spokesman for producers Fox confirmed.

"Castings are not something we can talk publicly about, but we are taking a look at the boys.

"We love anything Irish - we set a whole show there last year. They are certainly charming and good-looking fellows", they told a UK tabloid.

Meanwhile, John and Edward Grimes said they were thrilled by the rumours, insisting they are big fans of the show.

"We would love to be on 'The Simpsons'. John, Edward and The Simpsons - we're best friends with Bart!", they said.
