A Coronation Street actor is among those reacting angrily after Jedward posted controversial tweets in the wake of the Queen's death.
The pop twins, who rose to fame on X Factor and represented Ireland twice at Eurovision, have been using the social media platform to voice their opinion over recent days.
They called for the monarchy to be abolished and for King Charles to "hand back" the north's six counties.

"Abolish the monarchy and give the people real democracy!" John and Edward Grimes posted on their joint Twitter account on Saturday night.
Shortly after, they added: "King Charles should hand back the six Irish counties on his visit to Northern Ireland - No war! Just words! It’s time."
While thousands of Twitter users have retweeted and 'liked' the comments, others slammed the pair for their opinions.
Among them was Charlie Lawson, who plays Jim McDonald on the Virgin Media soap Coronation Street.
He launched a foul mouthed tirade at the 30-year-old's, replying: "Shut up y’pair of tw*ts!!"
Another Twitter user replied: "Guys your embarrassing yourselves now enough enough."
Someone else wrote: "Whoever is babysitting these two clowns needs to be reprimanded," while another added: "This is the time where 'children should be seen and not heard'."
Other people seemed open to the debate, with one person tweeting: "Don’t disagree in an ideological sense but in practice would be hard."
Another added: "Money used for coronations and funerals that could go to the poor! Sick of it."
The Queen's death was confirmed on Thursday, as a Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
"The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."
Her son, the former Prince of Wales, is now King Charles III.
Jedward's latest comments come after the pair were recently slammed for sharing "insensitive" comments about the Queen's health, after it was revealed her doctors were concerned for her, Mirror UK reports.
On Thursday, the duo wrote: "Liz truss must have done something on that visit to the Queen!"
The singers were seemingly referencing Truss' visit to see the Queen at Balmoral Castle on Tuesday, as she succeeds Boris Johnson as leader of the Conservative Party and the United Kingdom's Prime Minister.
"You pair are a disgrace," one angry Twitter user said, with another writing: "This is someone’s mum, gran etc. Imagine how you’d feel if someone said something about your mum before she died!!!"
Some Twitter users rushed to Jedward's defence as criticism began to flood Twitter.
