Making a pun on The Corrs’ 2000 hit, they wrote: “G’wan leave the whole country ‘breathless’ from Covid because of your idiotic behaviour.”
Corr hit back, writing: “Shut up you fools and grow a brain between you.”
Jedward continued their wordplay on past Corrs singles, responding: “Why don’t you just go and ‘Runaway’ and FYI your sisters never needed you please leave the band.”
Drawing a comparison with a 1980s pop duo, Corr replied: “Ireland’s Millie Vanillie have spoken and I shall hand in my notice forthwith.”
He added: “But lads, I just want to say…” before sharing a link to the Corrs’ song I Never Loved You Anyway.
Jedward signed off by writing: “Twitter fights are so pathetic! We don’t have time! We’re right you’re wrong.
“Wear your mask and wash your hands to whoever needs to hear this.”
