Brotherly love is tested to the limit on this week's episode of Keep It In The Family, as Jedward face off against each other in an attempt to avoid a dunking.
The twins do their best to persuade a young contestant to spare them from a short fall into a tank of water in a new clip from the ITV show.
One of the singers tries to sell a trip to a safari park, while the other bigs up a spin on the London Eye.
This week's show also sees host Bradley Walsh look on as Jason Gardiner and Lisa Riley take a plunge.
Keep It In The Family continues on Saturday at 7pm on ITV.
Elsewhere, Jedward gave some surprisingly blunt - and unsurprisingly daft - answers in a Digital Spy '60 Seconds' interview recently.

"Do you feel the power of the Gladiators? Can you face the challenge of the champions? Do you have the courage of the heroes?
"Do you have the will or the skill? Do you have the strength, the speed the heart to be a winner? Deep down in your Soul?"
These were the fundamental questions posed by ITV's original Gladiators, to both the audience and brave contenders who dared to take part. While this particular writer longed to be Lightning (her backflips were to die for), all the seemingly superhuman powerhouses were forces to reckon with - only occasionally tamed by strict referee John Anderson.

It's been little more than two weeks since Dancing on Ice's final series ended with Ray Quinn being voted champion of champions, and still we're in mourning.
If, like us, you're not quite ready to say goodbye to the skaters, sequins and snarky Jason Gardiner, there is one last chance to experience the pageantry of Dancing on Ice as favourite cast members from this year's all-stars series take to the ice for the show's national tour.
Digital Spy was lucky enough to go behind the scenes at rehearsals, where we hit the rink for a quick ice-skating lesson with runner-up Hayley Tamaddon, heard some exclusive teasers from Ray, Gareth Gates, Suzanne Shaw and Bonnie Langford about what to expect on the tour, and got some first-look footage of the fantastic new routines - including one with class clown Joe Pasquale featuring a never before-seen twist.

After nine eventful series, ITV's Dancing on Ice finally hangs up its skates this Sunday (March 9).
Since its launch on January 14, 2006, the show has given us some truly memorable comedic moments - with Todd Carty's stumble off the rink in series four certainly springing to mind.
As ITV prepares to broadcast the last televised Bolero performance from Olympian duo Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean and crown its final pair of winners, we present ten facts about Dancing on Ice in celebration of all things icy and sparkly.

Suzanne Shaw has become the latest celebrity to leave Dancing on Ice All-Stars.
Her exit follows on from Gareth Gates who left the show last Sunday (February 9).
Shaw was up against former rugby player Kyran Bracken in what was her first ever skate-off.
Bracken skated to Michael Jackson's famous track 'Billie Jean', while Shaw opted for 'Music' by Madonna.
Shaw made a number of mistakes in her routine, resulting in judges Ashley Roberts and Jason Gardiner saving Bracken.
Temporary judge Nicky Slater also saved Bracken, but said: "Neither of you should be here."
Karen Barber added that she would also have opted to save Bracken.
Shaw blamed her stumbles on her nerves, saying: "I think it's because I haven't had experience doing the skate-off before."
She added: "I really wanted to try and make it all the way to the final. I'm just glad we went out on one of our best skates.
Her exit follows on from Gareth Gates who left the show last Sunday (February 9).
Shaw was up against former rugby player Kyran Bracken in what was her first ever skate-off.
Bracken skated to Michael Jackson's famous track 'Billie Jean', while Shaw opted for 'Music' by Madonna.
Shaw made a number of mistakes in her routine, resulting in judges Ashley Roberts and Jason Gardiner saving Bracken.
Temporary judge Nicky Slater also saved Bracken, but said: "Neither of you should be here."
Karen Barber added that she would also have opted to save Bracken.
Shaw blamed her stumbles on her nerves, saying: "I think it's because I haven't had experience doing the skate-off before."
She added: "I really wanted to try and make it all the way to the final. I'm just glad we went out on one of our best skates.

Gareth Gates was voted off 'Dancing on Ice All-Stars' tonight (09.02.14). The 29-year-old singer, who first rose to fame on 'Pop Idol' in 2002, became the latest star to leave the ITV series after losing a skate-off against former 'EastEnders' star Sam Attwater. Despite impressing judges Jason Gardiner, Ashley Roberts, Robin Cousins and Karen Barber with his performance to Wham!'s hit 'Freedom,' during which he wore a George Michael-style blonde wig, Gareth and his professional partner, Brianne Delcourt, failed to win them over with their follow up routine to U2's 'Beautiful Day.' All four judges chose to save 28-year-old Sam. Upon hearing the result,...

Gareth Gates has become the latest celebrity to leave Dancing on Ice All-Stars.
The singer follows in the footsteps of Bonnie Langford, who exited the ITV competition at the end of last Sunday's live show.
Gates and partner Brianne Delcourt had to battle it out in the skate-off with Sam Attwater and Vicky Ogden to decide who remained in the show when the two couples found themselves bottom after this week's vote.
Attwater performed to 'Dream Catch Me' by Newton Faulkner in the skate-off, while Gates skated to U2's 'Beautiful Day' in a bid to stay in the competition.
Judges Nicky Slater, Ashley Roberts and Jason Gardiner voted to save Attwater. Stand-in head judge Karen Barber agreed with the other judges, opting to eliminate Gates from the competition.
Following the vote, Gates said: "It's been amazing. I just want to thank this lovely lady [Brianne], she's been amazing."

Dancing on Ice star Jason Gardiner has hit out at fellow judge Karen Barber in yet another extension of their feud.
The duo were at loggerheads again on last night's live show, and Gardiner has now taken to his Facebook page to complain about Barber.
"Yet again Karen as head coach proves she can't be impartial as a judge and misses many of the valid points I make," said Gardiner.
"To accuse me of not knowing what I'm talking about only discredits the producers for hiring me to do my job. Let's be real... I wouldn't have got this gig or been asked back if I didn't know my s**t!"
Gardiner also defended his low score of 4.5 for Gareth Gates, saying: "Personally I don't see how Gareth will be able to catch up with his stronger competitors, because this is as good as it's going to get.

I hope you didn't watch tonight's Great Sport Relief Bake Off on an empty stomach, because my goodness, you would be hungry afterwards. Gingerbread biscuits, banoffee pie, and showstopper chocolate cakes... ooh, we could eat them all. On the other hand, if they were made by Jason Gardiner, perhaps we wouldn't want to.
Of course, our celebrity bakers were not always the most proficient chefs we've seen, but we had a good time watching their kitchen disasters (and - less often - their triumphs). But what were our favourite moments? Read on to find out...
The Signature Bake - Gingerbread Biscuits
Jason ran into trouble before he'd even started his biscuits by getting Mary's legendary pursed lips. And why? Because he was making gingerbread biscuits with lemongrass. I'm sure somebody somewhere told him that was a good idea - maybe Karen Barber? Mary was her usual tactful self, saying it...

Stepping Out star Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen has revealed that he turned down the opportunity to join Strictly Come Dancing because he wanted to dance with his wife Jackie.
The former Changing Rooms star said that he is often asked why he has never appeared on the BBC dancing series.
He told Pa: "So many people have always asked me for years and years why I've never done Strictly and I've never said yes to Strictly - because I don't want to dance with anyone else... crazy!
"For goodness' sake, why would I want to spend ten weeks learning to dance when actually the woman that I've been married to for the last 25 years very patiently has been waiting for me to rumba her?"
Brian McFadden, Denise Welch, Oritsé Williams, Carl Froch and Glynis Barber also feature on the lineup for the new ITV series.

No more reject soap stars snapping their ankles and elbows on the ice. No more Pip Schofield shouting about "The Dangers Of The Ice". No more Z-listers in unforgiving pink Lycra. Dancing on Ice has announced that it is bowing out in 2014 with a ninth and final series.
Torvill and Dean's ice dancing format has never been the most glamorous of reality shows. It's never pulled in the biggest names (Tamara Beckwith, Elen Rivas, Bobby Davro) and it's always been in the shadow of its slicker, more stylish cousin over on BBC One, Strictly.
However, across its eight years the show has created many memorable TV moments and even if some of them are for the totally wrong reasons, Digital Spy is raising a toast to the series today by remembering them.
Jennifer Ellison gets sliced! We've got a bleeder!

Dancing on Ice contestant Matt Lapinskas finished runner-up despite falling in the bottom two of the public vote on all but one occasion during the series, official voting results have revealed.
Newly-released statistics by ITV show that the majority of viewers didn't support the ex-EastEnders actor and his professional partner Brianne Delcourt, who were beaten by Beth Tweddle and Dan Whiston in the final on March 10.
Lapinskas finished in the bottom two six out of the seven times he was eligible for the public vote before the final, coming last three times - in week five, week seven and week eight.

Jason Gardiner has hit back at those who attacked him over his "glum face" during the Dancing on Ice final, revealing that he was trying to cope with the news that a family member is "critically ill".
The panellist made it clear to viewers "who have given [him] s**t" for appearing unenthusiastic as Beth Tweddle skated to victory on Sunday (March 10) that he was focusing on his grandfather's hospitalisation.
"For those who have given me s**t for my glum face on the final, I received very sad news that my grandfather was critical ill in hospital," he wrote this morning (March12).
Gardiner had earlier paid tribute to Dancing on Ice commentator Tony Gubba, who on Monday was revealed to have died at the age of 69 after a short illness.
"@dancingonice lost one of our key people," he wrote. "A fine fellow and a real pro respected in his field.
