The @planetjedward Twitter account became littered with ranting tweets in the early hours of Saturday morning, spewing criticism about the housemates of Celebrity Big Brother.

But by 8am they had been removed, with just a tweet thanking fans for their support over the last month left at the top of the page.

Chatting to press a few hours later, the twins explained that the tweets were not made by them, and that their account had 'been hacked by someone in Russia or somewhere'.

However, the boys admitted that they actually agreed with the barrage of insults that were posted on their behalf.

'The housemates being called intellects and knowledgeable were far from it couldn't even string 2 sentences together 90% of the time (sic),' came a first post on the twins' official account.

'A bee wouldn't sting you as much as these housemates literally stung us... lol give us a beehive any day (sic),' came a follow up post.

The came: 'We knew in our heart we were around people that were hiding behind a glass of drink or a cigarette hardly any genuine emotions (sic).'

'Like there was no depth to them at all! We were literally the ocean and they were a little poodle of water (sic),' another tweet read.

Followed by: 'There was no meaningful conversation like I never heard such rehearsed monologue stories and interactions in my life (sic).'

Fan club: Happy to slam their fellow housemates, the former X Factor contestants claimed that they were the only ones with fans loitering around the hotel that the celebs stayed in after the final

The brothers didn't elaborate any further on the supposed social media infiltration, instead chatting about their runner-up position in the CBB finale.      

'It would have been great for us to win, but it felt like we won, coming second after being third last time,'  they declared, referring to their original stint in the CBB house in 2011.

Happy to slam their fellow housemates, the former X Factor contestants claimed that they were the only ones with fans loitering around the hotel that the celebs stayed in after the final. 

'It wasn't a fair playing field,' they said. 'Everyone was socially linked before they went into the show. Nicola, Calum, Jamie had previously met in social circumstances,'

Runners up: The brothers didn't elaborate any further on the supposed social media infiltration, instead chatting about their runner-up position in the CBB finale

Back to normality: 'It would have been great for us to win, but it felt like we won, coming second after being third last time,' they declared, referring to their original stint in the CBB house in 2011

'They were all going for the storylines or drama and tried to silence us. They just spent their time smoking and watching paint dry.

'Some of the stuff they were saying was so 2009 - out of date stuff their agents told them to say.'

The boys revealed that they'll keep in touch with Chloe Ferry and Jessica Cunningham and that Kim Woodburn has invited them round for dinner.

The also slammed Bianca Gascoigne and Jamie O'Hara's relationship - 'getting together for the sake of getting together' - saying that Jamie was fickle, originally seen to coveting Jasmine Waltz before she was evicted.

'Then he pursued Bianca; guys were leading girls up the garden path. The relationships were dishonest.'

The pop star twosome then claimed their stint in the house will surely bag them 'a meeting with the president'.

It was reported on Friday that their father is fighting for his life - but insisted his 'critical condition' be kept a secret from the twins while they were on Celebrity Big Brother.

John Grimes is said to be suffering from a mystery illness which he hid from his 25-year-old sons so that they wouldn't leave the Channel 5 show.

And the twins still haven't spoken to their father, saying on Saturday morning: 'We are going to talk to him now. We still don’t know the full story yet. We aren’t going to talk about him until we know more.'
