Gemma Collins to include Jedward in her wedding
Towie favourite Gemma got engaged last month to her long-term partner Rami Hawash. Now, she has claimed that she wants three lavish ceremonies and a Tuscan themed engagement party.
Gem seems very clear on just how her big day (or days!) are going to unfold, including joking having the former The X Factor stars walk her down the aisle.
Her bond with the duo doesn’t end there. She has also explained that the brothers are godfathers to her pampered pooches.
In a chat with the Mirror and OK!, Gemma explained: “They are my dog’s godfathers, after all. They’re honestly like family to me, I adore them.”
They’re part of our family now.
Her partner Rami added: “Jedward are like our kids and they’re so good to Tristan [Rami’s son]. They’re part of our family now.”
Gemma Collins defend Jedward amid Louis Walsh feud
The reality star recently took to social media to defend her beloved duo. It came as Louis Walsh unleashed an on-screen tirade about his former clients, John and Edward, whilst appearing on Celebrity Big Brother.
The star-studded talent manager went as far as to dub them as “vile”.
At the time, Gemma and the boys were eating a roast dinner together at her Essex pad, whilst watching the show.
Jedward took to Gemma’s Instagram Stories to defend themselves and even called Louis an “evil manipulator”.
Gemma also wrote to Instagram in their defence: “Shocked to see what was said about my boys @jepicpics.
They are the sweetest, talented, polite, educated, kind boys I’ve ever met hence why they are always in my company.
“They are the sweetest, talented, polite, educated, kind boys I’ve ever met hence why they are always in my company!!!
“TEAM JEDWARD.”

The three first became pals in 2021 when they filmed Angela Scanlon’s Ask Me Anything in Dublin together.
The twins wrote to social media at the time: “Iconic weekend with Gemma Collins in Dublin! We’re having a blast!
“Getting her hair and makeup done and picking a JEPIC outfit! We would love to do a show together in the future it would be incredible.”

“We’ve loved connecting and meeting her family especially her mum and dad who are full of life! It feels like we’ve known each other for a lifetime bring on the future we all just get each other and feel comfortable in each other’s surroundings!
It feels like we’ve known each other for a lifetime bring on the future.
“Can’t wait for more adventures!”
Since then, they have only grown closer. In 2023, they even spent Christmas together.
