Jedward have branded Louis Walsh an ‘evil manipulator’ after he told fellow housemates the pair were ‘vile’ during Tuesday night’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother.
The twins, 32, slammed Walsh and accused him of being a ‘cold hearted b****d who didn’t send flowers after their mother’s death’.
Louis, 71, managed Jedward, whose names are John and Edward Grimes, between 2009 and 2013 after they shot to stardom on the X Factor.
During the episode, Louis claimed that ‘novelty’ act Jedward were ‘vile’ but made him a lot of money, as he told Coronation Street‘s Colson Smith they ‘made him £5m’.
Following the music manager’s remarks, Jedward insisted that ‘justice would be served’, as they launched into a scathing tirade on their X account.

Louis Walsh said Jedward would have a ‘great career’ in 2009
And Louis replied: ‘They were vile.’
Colson said: ‘They’ve done well’, and Louis said: ‘I got £5million from them. I swear on my mother’s life.’
Clearly impressed, Colson quipped back: ‘B****y hell, I wish I had a Jedward.’
Doubling down on his opinion, Louis added: ‘And they were vile. But they were novelty. It was great for the show. It was all about the show.’
The twin brothers previously branded Louis a ‘cold-hearted two-faced b***h’ during a social media attack three years ago.

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!’

Louis said: ‘He’s a bit of a freak, Lloyd Webber. He’s a strange man.’
Sharon replied: ‘I thought he was gay?’
And Louis said: ‘No, the opposite. He was married to Sarah Brightman.’

He said that Ronan hadn’t released a successful song since he stopped being his manager, before clarifying that he was sacked.
