X Factor star left 'shaken' after being robbed in broad daylight in London

star Edward Grimes, also known as one half of Jedward, has been left "shaken" after his phone was stolen in London.

The Irish singer and his twin brother John took to their joint to warn their followers about the "phone-stealing ring."

Before issuing an update, he wrote: "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 revealed there was a chance of getting "justice."

He added: "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, this wasn't a first for Edward as he previously revealed two masked men attempted to steal his phone last year.

At the time, the 33-year-old informed his fans on X and warned them to be vigilant when in the capital.

He stated: "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."
