But he did make £5 million off them!

It's safe to say Louis Walsh seemed to be an avid supporter of Irish duo Jedward when they were on The X Factor back in the day, championing them throughout the series and becoming their manager in the years to follow.

HOWEVER, it seems not all was great between the two after all, as Jedward have become the latest famous name that Louis has verbally attacked during his time in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

After Corrie actor Colson Smith asked the music mogul: "What were Jedward like?", he quickly responded saying: "They were vile."

When Colson expressed: "They've done well", Louis added: "I got £5million from them. I swear on my mother's life. But they were vile. But they were novelty. It was great for the show. It was all about the show."

Unbeknownst to Louis, Jedward, also known as John and Edward Grimes, were actually sat at bestie Gemma Collins' house when his comments aired, eating a roast dinner...

Not holding back, Jedward took to their social media accounts to rant about their former manager whilst Tuesday night's eviction episode aired. The first post read: 'Louis Walsh is a cold hearted b-s---d who didn’t even send us flowers when our mom died'. (sic)

They went on to reveal the reason they fired him as manager, saying: 'Louis Walsh B--ched and talked about us to our best friend Tara Reid and then we fired him!' (sic

The pair then claimed: 'Louis Walsh is an evil manipulator who forced us into an office to pay £70k+ to from our bank account to one of his own PR workers'. (sic)

The pair didn't stop there, going on to accuse Louis further, saying: 'Louis Walsh tried to make us sign our name and life away in dodgy contracts to people he was great friends with without our mom we wouldn’t be here today! What an absolute weirdo with bad intentions for all ..does he like anyone?'

'Louis Walsh came to our hotel room one night and we didn’t even know why he had come unannounced still don’t why?! He then proceeded to our tour manager’s room think that says it all'. (sic)

Bringing other names into their rant, Jedward 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.' (sic)

Jedward then concluded, writing: 'Louis reopened these wounds all by himself being spiteful and disrespectful we aren’t going to have our character taken. Justice will be served'. (sic)

The pair were also filmed on Gemma Collins' Instagram Story angrily reacting to Louis' conversation with Colson, with the pair asking him: "How dare you", as they enjoyed a roast dinner.

The GC then publicly showed their support for John and Edward, writing in an Instagram post: 'Shocked to see what was said about my boys @jepicpics 🩵 They are the sweetest talented polite educated kind boys I’ve ever met hence why they are always in my company !!! TEAM JEDWARD 🩵 #jedward #jepic'. (sic)

Despite the drama and the booing from the live crowd, 71-year-old Louis was saved by the public during last night's eviction show, with Real Housewives star Lauren Simon becoming the second celeb to lose her place.

House guest Sharon Osbourne also left the house after her short but very entertaining stay.
