Jedward have been facing serious backlash after posting a controversial tweet in the wake of the Queen's death last week.
The twins have been voicing their opinions regarding the monarchy in recent days via their social media. The X Factor singers called for the monarchy to be abolished and for King Charles to "hand back" the six counties of Northern Ireland.
A Coronation Street actor has now slammed the Dublin boys for their tweets, along with plenty of other people on Twitter. John and Edward took to social media to post about the six counties on Saturday night, just two days after the Queen's passing.

The wrote: "Abolish the monarchy and give the people real democracy!" 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 the post got thousands of retweets and likes, many hit out at the twins, calling the comments "embarrassing".
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 death of the Queen was confirmed by Buckingham Palace on Thursday, with a spokesman stating: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon." Her son, formerly the Prince of Wales, is now King Charles III.
This is not the first controversy facing Jedward in recent days. They were slammed for sharing "insensitive" comments about the Queen's health, after it was revealed that she was ill. On Thursday, the duo wrote: "Liz truss must have done something on that visit to the Queen!"
The pop singers appeared to be referring to Truss' visit to see the Queen on Tuesday, as she took over as the UK'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!!!"
