Jedward break silence after being 'kicked out' of Big Brother house following heated rows

Jedward have broken their silence after claims they were 'kicked out' of the Big Brother house.

The pop duo who rose to fame on The X Factor are no strangers to the house after famously competing on the celebrity edition of the programme alongside Kim Woodburn.

Real names John and Edward Grimes, they arrived earlier this week on the civilian version of Big Brother to help cause a stir and meddle with challenges.

But they caused major friction in the house when John told contestant Rhianna that she 'wasn't on Love Island' and told Chelsey to 'look in the mirror.'

Other housemate Lynx later heard what had been said and confronted the pair in the hot tub before he was repeatedly splashed with water.

The pop duo were removed from the main house and told to sleep in a separate room with two camp beds due to rising tensions.

They have since started posting on social media while the episode was on air, releasing a series of posts on X.

One post said: "The entitlement and egos from the Love Island Rejects who have only been on TV for less than two weeks #bbuk."

And another said: "The buzzkills are having meltdowns over being called buzzkills," followed by: "The truth hurts I guess I think we deserve a medal for the honesty and impact we brought to the house authentic vibes always. They acting to [sic] pretentious and predictable and raging we cloaked."

Realising that Jedward have left the house, fans began reacting on social media with many in support of the pair and calling for them to stay.

One fan responded: "I don’t think either of you get enough credit for how perceptive you both are, nor how high your emotional intelligence is. You saw right through them and gave some advice."

Another added: "This was the best episode since channel 5… how can people be happy Jedward left? Like I’ll eat my words because I was FUMING that they were going in, but they did an incredible job."

A third fan commented: "Wasn’t keen on the idea of Jedward coming in but MY GOD they are matching this year’s energy! This series is DELIVERING."

Big Brother UK returns tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
