I was in the Celebrity Big Brother house with Jedward and Louis Walsh was being KIND when he called them vile
JAMES Jordan has waded in on the controversial opinion that Louis Walsh said about Jedward while on Celebrity Big Brother.
The dancer, 45, who appeared on CBB series 19 with the X Factor legends back in 2017, certainly didn’t hold back with his opinion on the matter.
Earlier this month Louis reignited his feud with Jedward – real names John and Edward Grimes – during an episode of the ITV show.
The Irish music manager branded them “vile” while discussing them with Coronation Street star Colson Smith, which then led on to them hitting back on social media.
Speaking to Betfred, James said: “I have been in the house with Jedward and they are vile so I think he’s hit the nail on the head.
“Actually, I think vile is quite a relaxed word; I would use a lot stronger words when describing Jedward.
“I’ve been in the house with them, and I’ve done other shows outside of Big Brother with them as well, so it’s not like I’m basing my opinion on one encounter, so I think Louis hit the nail really hard on the head.”
James and Jedward took part in Celebrity Big Brother: All-Stars and New Stars back in 2017.
They appeared in the spin-off series alongside the likes of Kim Woodburn, Calum Best and Chloe Ferry.
Jedward placed second just behind winner Coleen Nolan.
James has also appeared in other reality TV shows alongside the twins such as Celebrity Coach Trip in 2019.
Jedward shot to fame on the sixth series of The X Factor in 2009 – and they were mentored by Louis on the programme.
He went on to manage them as a pop duo for years, but was later replaced by their mum.
After Colson asked Louis what they were like, Louis added: “They were vile but they were great for the show.
“I got five million quid for them.”
Jedward furiously hit back at Louis 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.”
The twins 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.”
