Jedward have slapped down Celebrity Big Brother star Louis Walsh in a string of furious tweets.
Their comments came after the former X Factor judge told a co-star on CBB they were “vile” but went on to brag that he’d pocketed millions for them. His comments on the show seemed to outrage John and Edward Grimes, 32, who fired back.
Hitting back, the twins, who were mentored and managed by Louis from 2009, took to X/Twitter with a number of angry tweets. The furious rants saw Louis branded a “cold hearted b*****d” as they declared “justice would be served”.

The Irish TV judge went on to add: “I got £5million for them.” Firing back, the former X Factor twins took to their official platform to weigh in on the situation.
In response, their first online post read: “Louis Walsh is a cold hearted b******d who didn’t even send us flowers when our mom died.” They went on to make a number of other claims about their time with Louis as their manager.

They then continued: “Louis reopened these wounds all by himself being spiteful and disrespectful, we aren’t going to have our character taken. Justice will be served.”
The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins jumped in to defend her friends as she commented on the situation. Sharing a sweet picture of herself with the twins, the TV star showcased her loyalty, telling fans that she was “team Jedward”.
“Shocked to see what was said about my boys @jepicpics,” the GC penned on Instagram. She went on to add: “They are the sweetest talented polite educated kind boys I’ve ever met hence why they are always in my company. TEAM JEDWARD.”
