Jedward face demands to enter CBB house to confront Louis Walsh
Fans have called for Jedward to be put into the Celebrity Big Brother house to cause "chaos" for Louis Walsh.
It comes after the X Factor star bragged he “made £5million” from the novelty singing act back in the Noughties after the Dublin-born twins shot to fame on 2009 show– though they have since said they never saw a penny of it.
Discussing his former act with Coronation Street actor Colson Smith, Louis branded the pair “vile”. When Colson quipped “but they’ve done well,” Louis revealed: “I got five million quid for them. I swear on my mother’s life. And they were vile. They were novelty. But great for the show.”
Following Louis’ comments, Jedward and their close pal Gemma Collins – who have been tuning into Celebrity Big Brother - demanded to know where the money went. Taking to Instagram, the pair added: "Louis Walsh is a cold-hearted b*****d who didn’t even send us flowers when our mom died." They also slammed the manager in 2016, sneering: "I think we are the most financially beneficial act of his career in the last 10 years."
Now fans have called for “Justice for Jedward” and demanded 32-year-old twins John and Edward Grimes are put into the Celebrity Big Brother house so they can confront Louis. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan wrote: “#CelebrityBigBrother put Jedward in the house to cause chaos for Louis.” Another penned: “Get them in the house!!!” A third chimed in: “Get Jedward on Late & Live #CBBUK #CelebrityBigBrother.” While a fourth added: “Louis showing what a true evil man he is, and what a horrid horrid person. Justice for Jedward! #CBBUK #CelebrityBigBrother.”
Corrie's Sue Cleaver says I'm A Celebrity stint helped her to push boundariesAnd far from shutting up about Jedward, Louis gave the pair another mention in last night’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother. During a fairground task, Colson asked him if they should name a teddy panda Jedward, to which Louis shook his head and replied: “No, no, no.”
And it didn’t go unnoticed by fans. One commented: “Not Colchester bringing up Jedward again – get them in the house for a showdown!! #CBBUK.” Another quipped: “Colson asking Louis if his panda’s called Jedward” followed by crying laughing face emojis. “’No, no, no,’ haha Louis don’t want to call his panda Jedward #CBBUK,” a third joked. While a fourth called for “Jedward the panda to win x #CBBUK.”
Jedward aren’t the only people Louis has been badmouthing since he went into the Celebrity Big Brother house last Monday. There have even be calls for him to leave the series after he blasted several of his celeb housemates “fake”.
On Thursday night, eight of Louis' housemates, including ally Cülcüloğlu, nominated him for eviction during face-to-face votes. Reasons for wanting him out included his lack of effort around the house and him not being a team player.
But Louis took a moment to hit back at his fellow housemates as he slammed "fake" stars who were "acting" on the show. As he prepared to share his decision during nominations, he claimed: "I’m not fake, I’m not acting. A lot of people here are."
