Overview
It was confirmed in December 2009 that the duo would have their own ITV2 documentary, produced by RDF Television. The fly-on-the-wall three part series will look at how the boys prepared for the launch of their début album, performing onstage, and dealing with their fame whilst trying to adapt to their new surroundings and independence. The series also takes a look back at their time on The X Factor, whilst documenting the time Jedward spent designing trainers for a sports label, and the production of their music videos.
Upon commission, Jedward said: "We are so excited that we have our own show. People find it hard to define us and hopefully the show will give viewers and our fans an insight into our world during a really exciting point in our lives launching our debut album."
During filming, Jedward caused a reported £10,000 worth of damage to their rented apartment - including damage to walls, furniture and work surfaces.
Reception
Ian Wylie, of The Guardian, had a mixed response to the show. Posting on his Twitter account: "Jedward: Let Loose is good. But it's not that good."
David Quantick, of The Daily Mirror was critical of the show, and Jedward themselves. Writing in his column he described Jedward as 'vain', and criticised ITV for cancelling shows like The Bill, whilst producing a 'long, weird and increasingly scary show'. Kevin O'Sullivan, also of The Daily Mirror, was also critical of the show. He compared the show to The Saturdays: 24/7, saying both were 'dull' and he couldn't understand why anybody would tune in to watch either show.
