In recent weeks Jedward have been spending a lot of time with former Towie star Gemma Collins.
Last month the trio were spotted heading out for lunch together.
Then in July Gemma showed off her ‘real hair’ without her extensions as she reunited with the twins.
The Irish brothers recently spoke out about their friendship with the self-confessed diva.
"Our friend Gemma recently gave us her furniture, so we have some Barbie furniture in our spot," they told the Mirror.
"Gemma is such a vibe, such a solid person in our lives.
"We've known each other for a few years now.
"There's a lot more to Gemma, cos obviously everyone has this opinion of Gemma but she can get deep and she's had things happen in her life."
