During a conversation with Corrie star Colson Smith, Louis branded them “vile”.

He said: “They were vile but they were great for the show.

“I got five million quid for them.”

Following the scenes, the X Factor twins have furiously hit back at Walsh in a series of online posts.

They raged: “Louis Walsh is a cold hearted b*****d who didn’t even send us flowers when our mom died.”

John and Edward Grimes, 32, added: “Louis Walsh B****ed and talked about us to our best friend Tara Reid and then we fired him!

“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.

“Louis reopened these wounds all by himself being spiteful and disrespectful we aren’t going to have our character taken. Justice will be served.”

Louis managed Jedward for a number of years after they shot to fame on The X Factor in 2009.

The singers watched the Celebrity Big Brother scenes with TOWIE’s Gemma Collins who also jumped at their defence.

She said: “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.”
