It's a rare sight to see perma-grinned pair Jedward lose their temper with anyone - let alone with each other.

But that's what happens in the new advert for Travel Supermarket, in which the twins 'fall out' over the cost paid for the same holiday.

At first they are seen in matching tropical outfits - complete with Hawaiian shirts - happily sipping cocktails by the pool in the tongue-in-cheek TV commercial.

However, the X Factor twins, John and Edward Grimes, soon begin to argue when they discover that they've both booked the exact same package deal but for different prices.

The advert, filmed in South Africa, also stars comedian Omid Djalili, who steps in to enlighten the pair with some advice about how they could have avoided their economic quandary.

Jedward aren't the only ones to appear in a comedy ad for a price comparison site - John Prescott has also just appeared in one, which also debuted this week.

Lord Prescott stars in a spoof video to promote the money branch of travelsupermarket.com, moneysupermarket.com.

In it, he happily cashes in on the notorious moment he thumped a voter who threw an egg at him in the 2001 election – by aiming blows at a punchbag.

The advertisement, for a price comparison website and due to be shown for the first time tonight, also makes fun of his reputation as ‘Two Jags’.

It shows a tracksuited Prescott in boxing gloves, taking out his frustration at renewing his car insurance on the punchbag, to the strains of the song Eye Of The Tiger from the Rocky films.

The former deputy prime minister is interrupted by Omid Djalili, who calls him ‘Bruiser’ and tells him it is an expensive business insuring two old cars now he is ‘no longer running the country’.

This is a reference to the two Jaguars Lord Prescott had in government, one of which was once used to drive him and his wife Pauline the few yards from his hotel to the Labour conference venue.

Djalili suggests the Labour peer visit moneysupermarket.com to find a good insurance deal, saying: ‘Their deal is a real vote winner – like you used to be?’

‘Are you trying to be funny, lad?’ Lord Prescott replies – before being knocked over by his punchbag.

It is not known how much he was paid for the advert, but experts said it would have been a five-figure sum.

Lord Prescott punched a voter in the Welsh town of Rhyl after being hit by an egg while campaigning for Labour.

It earned him the nickname Two Jabs.

Yesterday, he compared the event to the ‘Thriller in Manila’ boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, saying: ‘I suppose you could say this advert marks the tenth anniversary of my so-called Thriller in the Rhyl-a.’
