Jedward aren't holding back this St Patrick's Day after, yet again, calling out Louis Walsh who said they were 'vile' on Celebrity Big Brother.

If you're old enough, you will remember that the former The X Factor judge managed the Irish twins in the 2009 season of the talent show.

The pop duo - whose real names are John and Edward Grimes - finished in 6th place after losing out in the sing-off to Olly Murs.

Now, the 71-year-old CBB contestant was up for eviction earlier this week, alongside Fern Britton and Lauren Simon.

During the eviction, while the former Real Housewives star was booted out, Walsh made a couple of savage remarks about the Irish brothers.

He said: “They were vile… I done five million quid with them, I swear on my mother’s life.

“They were vile, they were novelty, they were great for the show.”

Fans weren't impressed by his comments, with one penning on X: "If you come for Jedward, you come for the Eurovision community. I met Louis Walsh in 2017 and I was NOT a fan to say the least."

A second added: "We will not be accepting Jedward slander from [Louis Walsh]."

Whilst having a roast with Gemma Collins, the duo hit back at the comments on X, writing: "Louis Walsh is a cold hearted b***ard who didn’t even send us flowers when our mom died.

"Louis Walsh B**ched and talked about us to our best friend Tara Reid and then we fired him!"

They added: "Girls Aloud hate Louis! Jedward hate Louis! Ronan Keating hates Louis! All future acts should be made aware of what this VILE man is really like.

"Louis reopened these wounds all by himself being spiteful and disrespectful we aren’t going to have our character taken. Justice will be served."

"Louis don't be slagging off my boys, they're not vile," Collins also said in a viral video, as the pair were there watching telly with her.

"They're beautiful in every single way."

The drama continues as today (17 March), on St Patrick's Day, Jedward have called out the talent judge in a new tweet.

They ruthlessly wrote: "Happy Paddy’s Day. Hope St.Patrick slays Louis the snake."

Commenting on the post, one fan said: "So mean (laughing face emoji) Happy St Patrick's Day! Please try and just focus on the fun today (celebration emoji).

Another wished: "Loool happy St Patrick's Day!!"

LADbible has contacted a representative of Louis Walsh for comment.
