EVERBODY loves a good celebrity feud, and this one has all the ingredients of a big one.
The X Factor stars Louis Walsh and Jedward were once firm friends but over the years things have turned sour.
Louis Walsh managed Jedward for a four years after they appeared on The X Factor in 2008.
The pop duo are made up of twin brothers Jonathan and Edward Grimes, and are known for their quaffed hair.
During their first audition they impressed Louis with him saying they "looked like popstars".
However, not everyone was impressed and head judge Simon Cowell famously said they were "not very good and incredibly annoying".
But despite, this Jedward made it through to the live rounds and ended up coming sixth on The X Factor that year.
The twins were initially signed with Modest! Management, but Louis quickly snapped them up.
Things seem to go well for Jedward and Louis, with a successful album and tour following.
In fact at Eurovision in 2011 he was asked what he thought about twins and Louis said: "I took a chance on them on X Factor everybody told me I was crazy but who's laughing now?
"They're laughing and now everybody's laughing.
"They've opened up a whole new continent on Jedwardmania. They are what they are and they're really nice kids and good role models."
Things appeared to turn sour after Louis and Jedward parted company in 2013.
It came after their late mum Susanna Condron took over as their manager.
By 2016, Louis and Jedward's relationship had turned into a bitter feud, after he described their act as "the most embarrassing thing to happen to him".
He said the most embarrassing moment of his career was "working with Jedward and putting them through on The X Factor".
Not taking this lying down, Edward told fans: "I think we are the most financially beneficial act of his career in the last 10 years."
Louis reopened these wounds all by himself being spiteful and disrespectful we aren’t going to have our character taken. Justice will be served.

Jonathan added: "I don't think he took us under his wing. I think we were already flying and he was like, 'Oh I think I want a part of that'.
"I think he got old. It's like someone saying behind your back and you are like, 'wait, I didn't know there was a problem.'"
In March 2023, Louis reignited his feud with Jedward.
During a conversation with Coronation Street star Colson Smith, the Irish mogul branded them "vile".
It came after the soap star asked Louis "what Jedward were like", to which he replied: “They were vile but they were great for the show.
“I got five million quid for them.”
Following the Celebrity Big Brother conversation, 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 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."
The singers watched the Celebrity Big Brother scenes with their good pal Gemma Collins who 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."
Since the early 90s, Louis has managed numerous well-known singers and bands.
Many of these pop stars have come from the talent shows he has been a judge on including The X Factor:
