Jedward discovered their father is in a critical condition in hospital upon leaving the Big Brother House last night.
The Lucan twins were crowned runners up of the reality show last night, after losing out to Coleen Nolan – and they were met with the devastating news shortly after they finished their final Big Brother interview.
The boys’ father, John Grimes has been in a critical condition in hospital over the past number of days, but he insisted on not telling John or Edward, as he wanted them to enjoy the remainder of their time on the show.
The twins’ 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.”
Our thoughts are with the Grimes’ family at this very difficult time.
