Taking to X moments after Louis’ comments aired, Jedward hit back at their former manager
In 2021, Louis revealed that he was looking for ‘young, exciting new girl singers’ as he put together a new band.
In response, Jedward posted quotes from an interview Louis gave to The Irish Independent, in which he recalled advising members of Girls Aloud to lose weight.
Louis said: ‘They were competing with the Spice Girls. It matters for them because they all want to be the skinny bitch in the middle going out with the footballer.’
Jedward then wrote: ‘Don’t get involved with Toxic Management!’
They added: ‘Louis Walsh at this point only wants acts to manage to make it look like he’s doing something! He’s a cold hearted two faced b***h who uses his powers for his own benefit!’
