Jedward star Edward Grimes is left 'shaken' after his mobile phone was robbed in broad daylight as singer admits 'my whole life is on there'

As a dedicated follower of Jedward’s journey, I can’t help but feel a pang of empathy every time they find themselves in a tough situation like this phone robbery. The life of a public figure is never easy, and it seems like London has become a bit too dangerous for our beloved twins.


According to reports, Edward Grimes of Jedward was left feeling rattled following an incident where he was targeted by a group of phone thieves in London.

On a Wednesday, the Irish singer, aged 33, along with his twin brothers, posted on their shared Instagram account to inform their followers first, followed by an update soon after.

He penned: ‘Hi it’s Edward. Someone has stolen my phone so if anyone’s trying to get in contact with me, don’t be worried as I’m just really shaken right now!’

All my life’s details are saved there. I’m incredibly grateful to have John in my life now, but unfortunately, I can no longer be reached.

In a separate post, Edward gave another update and wrote: ‘The shop where I was robbed have the two criminal thieves on camera hopefully we can get them arrested and justice will be served and we’ll crack down this phone stealing ring in London.’

‘My heart dropped! Thanks for your kind messages.’ 

On another occasion, he wasn’t a stranger to having his phone stolen in London. Just the previous year, he had an encounter with two masked individuals who tried to rob him.

The performer openly discussed a harrowing incident he encountered in X and cautioned his fans about staying vigilant in the city.

He said: ‘Be careful everyone Two masked guys tried to mug me on bikes as I was talking on the phone!’ 

‘Obviously shaken but was not expecting it! Seems like it’s happening all over London.’ 

Edward mentioned, ‘I suddenly felt someone grabbing my wrist and arm from behind. It all transpired so swiftly that John wasn’t beside me at the time!’

‘Just would hate this to happen to anyone else and being made feel vulnerable.’

In the year 2009, during the sixth season of The X Factor, the singer climbed to stardom alongside his twin brother, forming the duo Jedward.

Having secured sixth place, I proceeded to unveil four studio albums, with the initial two achieving a double platinum status in Ireland.

For two straight years, starting from 2011 to 2012, the contentious duo performed as Ireland’s representatives at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Previously this year, Jedward found themselves embroiled in a heated verbal dispute with their previous guide, Louis Walsh, following his derogatory remark about them as “vile” during Celebrity Big Brother.

In response, Jedward called the music manager, 71, an ‘evil manipulator’. 

Although Louis is no longer backing them, the twins have recently been mingling with several high-profile celebrities.

In July, reality stars encountered Katy Perry and found themselves unable to resist recording an entertaining video with her.

The popular duo began performing Katy Perry’s well-known song “I Kissed a Girl” as she playfully moved her hips and faced the camera, showcasing her backside.

In another video, the group appeared cheerful while they danced and sung along to the celebrity’s latest song “Lifetimes” from her upcoming album titled 143. They were enjoying themselves.

Later on, Katy Perry graced the stage at London’s club The Box, where she enjoyed a dance with Jedward, all while savoring a mixed drink.

Jedward expressed on social media, “We adore Katy Perry with all our heart! Her new album is mind-blowingly fantastic. We can’t wait for everyone to listen to it.

Additionally, Katy posted a video and commented, “The 143 playbacks have morphed into full-blown parties! I adore you, London, and I can’t wait for you all to listen to more of 143!

Lately, the celebrity twosome Jedward have been linked to various high-profile celebrities such as Rebel Wilson and Ed Sheeran.

Earlier this year, just before Rebel Wilson’s London Palladium show, the duo was spotted grinning broadly for photographs in the backstage area.

Alongside Ed Sheeran, John and Edward previously marked their 10-year friendship milestone by sharing a collection of photos featuring the “Bad Habits” singer on social media.

10 years or more of friendship between TeddyPhotos and JedSheeran, a bond that will last forever. It’s fantastic to witness you energizing Dublin and us enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the Jepic gatherings.

Additionally, this pair has gained recognition for their long-standing friendships with reality TV personality Gemma Collins from TOWIE and film actress Tara Reid, whom they first encountered 13 years ago during their time together on Celebrity Big Brother.
