“Chloe has no filter – she will cause total pandemonium with or without a drink.”

Chloe lasted just a week in the house, before becoming the fifth celeb to be evicted.

The cheeky Irish twins entered the house at the end of the first week as surprise entrants, and were greeted by a cacophony of boos – they even fell off the stage in an embarrassing entrance.

The pair, Edward and John Grimes, took part in the eighth series of the show along with Tara Reid, Paddy Doherty and Kerry Katona.

A source exclusively told The Sun; "Love them or hate them, Jedward are compulsive viewing.

“And while some of the housemates are going to be familiar with them and what they’re like, the chances are the Americans will be in for a shock.

“It’s going to be great to see them getting to know Speidi – they think they’re the power duo of the house, but that could quickly change.”
