Jedward have revealed their father, John Grimes is on the mend, after spending two weeks in an intensive care unit.
The Lucan twins were crowned runners up on Big Brother last Friday night, after losing out to Coleen Nolan, but their happiness was cut short, as they were met with the devastating news that their father was fighting for his life upon their departure from the house.
The boys’ mum, Susanna Condron revealed the heartbreaking news to the Daily Star.
“The last week has been very stressful for Jedward’s family.” she said.
“John Snr has been in intensive care. He insisted Edward and John must not be informed about his critical condition.
“He stated he would not jeopardise their chances of reaching the final as there would have been legions of disappointed fans.”
Jedward have been staying out of the public eye since the news broke, but they appeared on The Ray D’Arcy Show last night to chat about their time in the Big Brother house and give fans an update on their father’s wellbeing.
The twins revealed their that father is now on the mend after a stressful few weeks in ICU, and they’re looking forward to celebrating his birthday with him next month.
“Yeah, our dad was in ICU for two weeks and he’s now been in recovery for the past week.” John told Ray.
“We’re going in to see him tomorrow and it’s his birthday next month.
“He’s probably watching right now, hi dad!”
We’re delighted John is doing so well, and we wish him the best with his recovery!
