During their stint on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, Susanna defended the pair when they were criticised, saying: ‘Jedward are not irritating. In the midst of ferocious arguing in the house, sure, Jedward are being themselves and bringing good vibes.”
The duo were supported by Louis Walsh throughout their divisive stint on The X Factor in 2009, with the Irish music manager saying: ‘I don’t know how people can hate two nice young kids from Ireland…
‘They’ve been edited really badly and come across as the people everyone loves to hate… but they’re just raw, naïve and innocent and they have the potential’.
