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'

Jedwards' Edward Grimes has been left 'shaken' after he was robbed in London by a 'phone stealing ring'. 

The Irish singer, 33, took to his and his twin brothers joint Instagram account on Wednesday to alert his followers before giving them all an update shortly 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!'

'My whole life is on there. I’m just really thankful to have John now but I won’t be able to be contacted.' 

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.' 

However, it's not the first time he has been targeted for his phone in London, as last year he was also left shaken up when two masked men attempted to mug him. 

The singer shared his terrifying experience on X at the time and told his followers to be wary in the capital. 

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 added: 'Felt my wrist and arm being grabbed from behind it all happened so fast and didn’t have John next to me!'

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

The singer soared to fame with his twin brother John as part of the double act Jedward on the sixth series of The X Factor in 2009. 

After finishing in sixth place, they went on to release four studio albums, of which the first two went double platinum in Ireland. 

The divisive double act went on to represent Ireland at Eurovision for two consecutive years in 2011 and 2012. 

Earlier this year, Jedward were caught in a vicious war of words with their former mentor Louis Walsh after he branded the twins 'vile' on Celebrity Big Brother. 

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

While they may no longer have the support of Louis, the twins have been rubbing shoulders with plenty of A-list stars lately. 

In July, the reality stars bumped into Katy Perry and couldn't resist filming a fun video with the star. 

The pop duo broke out into Katy's hit single I Kissed A Girl as she turned around and wiggled her bottom to the camera.

In a second clip, the trio were in good spirits as they danced and sang to the star's new track Lifetimes off her forthcoming album 143.

Katy later took to the stage at London nightclub The Box and danced with Jedward while sipping on a cocktail.

Jedward wrote on social media: 'Love our girl @katyperry 143 new album sounds absolutely Jepic can’t wait for everyone to hear it.'

Also sharing a clip, Katy added: 'These 143 playbacks have really evolved into straight up parties. ⁠Love you London can’t wait for u lot to hear the rest of 143!'

In recent months, reality star duo Jedward have been connected to several A-list stars including Rebel Wilson and Ed Sheeran. 

The pair were seen beaming for photos backstage ahead of Pitch Perfect actress Rebel's London Palladium show earlier this year.

John and Edward have also previously celebrated '10 years of friendship' with Bad Habits singer Ed as they shared a gallery of pictures with the star.

They wrote: 'Over 10 years of Friendship @teddysphotos JedSheeran Forever. Great to see you rocking Dublin and us partying with the Jepic vibes.'

The duo are also well known for being close pals with TOWIE star Gemma Collins and American Pie actress Tara Reid who they met 13 years ago on Celebrity Big Brother.
