Shamed X Factor duo Brooks Way ‘in talks with Syco’ as they confirm plans to release new music ‘very soon’
Teenage twins Josh and Kyle were axed from the show following allegations of violence
BROOKS Way are in talks to launch a pop career - months after being dropped from The X Factor show over allegations of violence.
Welsh twins Kyle and Josh were sensationally axed from the programme before they even had a chance to sing live back in September after The Sun on Sunday revealed that Josh had sent a series of threatening messages to an ex-girlfriend.
Further reports claimed that there was a history of violence between the 17-year-old lads, who grew up poverty stricken to heroin addict parents in Penarth, South Wales.
It was the first time in the show's history that an act was replaced due to behaviour away from the show.
But it looks like this year they have well and truly put the drama behind them and are making a fresh bid for stardom - and it might be under the guise of Simon Cowell's Syco label.
An insider exclusively told The Sun online: "The boys have done a lot of growing up since they were dropped from The X Factor in September.
"They've been working on themselves and their sound, and they are really excited about starting 2017 with releasing some new music.
"The boys have been recording since leaving the show, and they've been working with really cool producers and top songwriters.
"They've also performed at some intimate gigs, honing their live show ready for a potential tour."
The teens are very active on social media, spending hours each day interacting with their devoted fanbase, and showing off an edgier and more grown-up look.
Earlier this week they Snapchatted from the Syco HQ, hinting that they were heading from hopefuls to signed artists.
While a label insider denied that anything had been signed, the insider revealed a future record deal has been discussed.
They said: "Josh and Kyle visited the Sony offices last week for some meetings and to meet execs.
"It’s very early days but potentially very exciting. The meetings seemed to go well – but the boys are keeping their feet on the ground."
The teen singers were devastated when they were axed from The X Factor following claims in The Sun on Sunday about the extent of Josh’s abusive relationship with his ex-girlfriend Amelia Clarke.
She revealed she was left “black and blue” during their four-year relationship – while a source said he also beat up his twin brother.
Following their exit, the pair slammed the "false allegations" and said the "truth would come out".

Speaking via their joint Twitter account, they said: “Today, we have had a tough day with a false allegation. Don’t believe everything you read, both Amelia and Josh are stating the truth.
“The truth always wins.”
Reps for Syco have been contacted for comment.
