Irish pop stars Jedward have taken a fresh pop at their former mentor and manager Louis Walsh in a savage St. Patrick’s Day message.
Writing on their shared X account, the twins, 32, wished a happy holiday to all – except, it would seem, Louis.
Of course, this comes days after the pair let rip at the TV star on social media when he slammed them on Celebrity Big Brother.
‘Happy Paddy’s Day ☘️ hope St.Patrick slays Louis the snake 🐍’ the boys wrote, in their usual cheeky spirited style.
Fans of the duo lapped up the ‘pettiness’ of it all, with X user Sinny responding: ‘JEDWARD ARE ACC ICONS IM SCREAMING.’
‘I’m so obsessed with this drama i’m giggling sm,’ Kiana wrote, while Nathalie replied: ‘So mean! Happy St Patrick’s Day! Please try and focus on the fun today.’
John and Edward Grimes – known as Jedward – were mentored by Louis, 71, during their time on X Factor in 2009.
He went on to manage the pair after the show ended – however, there appears to be no love lost between the stars and the former X Factor judge.
During his ongoing appearance on CBB, Louis described the pair as ‘vile’ when pressed by actor Colson Smith.
When asked what Jedward were like, Louis replied: ‘They were vile… I done five million quid with them, I swear on my mother’s life.’
‘They were vile, they were novelty, they were great for the show,’ he continued.
The twins hit back in a video – filmed from TV star Gemma Collins’ hot tub, of all places – calling his comments ‘spiteful and disrespectful.’
‘You’ve got to stand up for yourself when someone tries to throw you under the bus,’ they said.
In a series of posts on X dated March 12, the pair described Louis as ‘cold-hearted’ and claimed that he didn’t even send flowers when their mother died.
‘Louis reopened these wounds all by himself being spiteful and disrespectful, we aren’t going to have our character taken. Justice will be served,’ they said, ominously.
John and Edward join a host of famous faces celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this year.This includes actor Richard E. Grant, 66, who enjoyed the morning at a friend’s pub with This Morning chef Clodagh McKenna, 48.
A video posted to the actor’s Instagram account showed him to be enjoying live music at Clodagh and her husband Harry Herbert’s farm, describing the pair as ‘THE life enhancing force.’
The short video culminated in the celebrity chef planting a sweet kiss on the legendary actor’s cheek.
Elsewhere, Paul Mescal, 28, and The Bear star Ayo Edebiri, 28, sparked dating rumours after posing together for a celebratory post on her Instagram story.
‘Happy St Paddy’s!’, said the caption, which accompanied a picture of her leaning on his shoulder, him resting an arm on her leg.

Meanwhile, Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher celebrated the occasion by puckering up to a pint of Guinness.
