    Jedward pay tribute to their mammy after she sadly passes away

    Jedward have paid a heartbreaking tribute to their mum after she died from cancer she had been living with for years.

    Taking to social media, brothers John and Edward shared with their fanbase that their mother, Susanna Condron had died from cancer that she had been living with over many years.

    In the heartbreaking Tweet sent from their official account, the singers vowed that their mum would always be alive in their hearts and paid tribute to how “full of life” she was despite living with cancer for many years.

    The twins wrote about how much they would miss their mum as well as how she shaped their character into who they became.

    They wrote,

    Rest In Peace Mammy You live on through us We will miss you and your smile You shaped the character of who we are. Mammy lived with cancer for many years but was always full of life! You live on in our Memories and will always be alive in our Hearts

    “She was so proud”

    Susanna was well-loved by fans of the brothers who were quick to send their well-wishes and support to the former X Factor stars with one saying, “I am at a complete loss. You know how much your Mum meant to me. You are certainly a credit to your wonderful mother. Susanna was someone I called a friend and loved and will always love very much. She had such a profound effect on my life.

    Another added, “In my heart and thinking of you, she was so amazing and was so proud of you”.

    Another replied, “I’m so heartbroken, she was such a beautiful and kind women! Sending so much love your way always here for you! Thank you for letting us all get to know her she will be greatly missed always here for you if you ever need anything sending so much love and prayers your way”.

  • What is Jedward’s net worth?

    How much is Jedward actually worth?

    They’ve released a number of albums and pop up on our TV screens a lot. So are they worth a lot of money?

    The brothers had a combined net worth reported to be in the region of €6 million. That was reported in 2013.

    Of course, it’s impossible to know exactly how much they’re worth. In 2016 it was reported that their entertainment company Planet Jedward was in debt to the tune of hundreds of thousands of euros. However new figures released about their company show that the boys have a cash balance of over €22,000 and assets worth over €230,000. The company is apparently worth €64,000.

    It has been suggested that they are the fifth most financially successful X Factor finalists after Leona Lewis, Little Mix, JLS and Alexandra Burke.

  • Are Jedward gay?

    The ever bubbly Jedward have been making headlines since their discovery on X Factor in 2009… But there’s one question thousands of people want to know… apparently.

    Are jedward gay?

    Are the Jedward brothers gay?

    In 2011 brothers Edward and John insisted that they weren’t gay and they are attracted to women and have dated girls. They hit out over speculation that their OTT and flamboyant performance style made some fans think the duo were gay. The brothers maintain that they “like lots of girls” revealing that they don’t care what people think about them or about their sexuality.

    The pair have been incredibly tight-lipped about their love life, choosing to never talk openly about the people they’ve dated.  Speaking to Dan Wooton at The Sun, Edward said,  “We meet girls all the time. Our fans have always know who we are. But others knows a different type of Jedward on from the different shows.

    “I think because on stage we wear sequins people go ‘oh they must be a bit out there’.

    John added, We do whatever what we want to do. We know who we are and what we are a lot of guys try so hard to be masculine and we’re able to have stubble and play guitar. We have had relationships. I’ve had two long-term relationships that were private. That wasn’t part of my career.”

    So there you have it. John and Edward have said they aren’t gay or bisexual. It’s 2018 does it really matter anyway?

    So Jedward thinks that both James Jordan and Austin Armacost are nobodies. During a conversation with Heidi and Spencer (Speidi), the Irish duo said that the previous night, in which Austin lashed out at both James J and Stacy, was “mental” and called the pair the “biggest attention seekers”.

    Jedward entered the house just a few days ago but were allowed to nominate. They chose Austin and Jasmine Waltz as their choice for nomination this week.

    During the argument between Austin and James J, the professional dancer called the American hunk, Austin a “c**t” after he lashed out at Stacy Francis by saying that he didn’t “particularly” like her.

    Austin.

    Speaking to Speidi, Jedward said,

    “Last night was mental…it’s like the two biggest nobodies are the biggest attention seekers.”

    Ouch boys… Ouch.

  • 7 things you probably didn’t know about Jedward

    The ever bubbly Jedward have been making headlines since their discovery on X Factor in 2009… But what do we know about the twins?

They hit out over speculation that their OTT and flamboyant performance style made some fans think the duo were gay.

It has been suggested that they are the fifth most financially successful X Factor finalists after Leona Lewis, Little Mix, JLS and Alexandra Burke,

     

    Did they fall out with Louis Walsh?

    Louis has stated that he considers Jedward his most embarrassing career move. Speaking to Woman’s Own the music manager said the twins who appeared in 2009’s series of X FACTOR were his most embarrassing career move, despite championing them and praising them highly on the show. They came sixth on the show and have had a relatively successful career. They’ve released three albums and even represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest. They hit back saying, “We are always striving forward, he’ll be in the old people’s home soon so it’s all good.”  OUCH!

     

    Where did Jedward place in Eurovision

    Jedward represented Ireland in the 2011 and 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, with the songs “Lipstick” and “Waterline”. It has to be said that “Lipstick” was pretty darn catchy. They placed 8th in 2011, compared to the UK’s entry by Blue which came 11th. In 2012 the boys came 19th with just 46 points.

     

    How old are Jedward?

    The twins were born in 1991 in October which makes them in their mid-twenties. They were born in Dublin.

     

    How can you tell Edward and John apart?

    So this a big cause of debate among their fans, however, it seems as though John has a rounder face and scar on the left side of his nose he has overlapping front teeth. Edward apparently smiles with his eyes and has a scar on his lip and is slightly taller than his brother. They released a video to help viewers work out the differences.

     

    What did Simon Cowell think about Jedward

    Simon branded the twins “not very good and incredibly annoying” and they divided the viewers at home too. They appeared in the same series as Danyl Johnson.

     

  • Are Jedward in financial trouble?

    Reports have emerged from Jedward’s entertainment company that show hundreds of thousands of Euros in losses!

    The super-excitable duo, from the X Factor, have an entertainment company called, Planet Jedward, which is registered in Dublin and it seems to be in a financial sinkhole. The last two years of account both show losses of over €100,000.

    The company has two sole directors, Edward and John Grimes.

    According to Heat Magazine, the latest accounts for the company show a loss of €130,182 (£114,888) last year and €104,447 (£92,177) in 2014. A combined loss of over €234,000.

    However, we wouldn’t be too worried for the boys, in September 2013 their estimated net worth was €6 million and they were ranked as the fifth most financially successful X Factor act in the history of the competition.

    Things were starting to look down for the duo when Louis Walsh revealed that the flamboyant brothers were his most embarrassing career move.  Despite this, the boys have managed to rack up some incredible achievements. They’ve released three number one studio albums and 11 singles, three of which went to number one in Ireland.

    They’d better start getting back on the road before Bratavio takes their place.

    Sources have hinted that Louis could be returning to the X Factor for the next series along with Sharon Osbourne and Simon Cowell – although the judging panel has not yet been disclosed.

  • Jedward Enlist Perez Hilton For Their Latest Single

    Yep yep yep. Those lovely lads John and Edward have enlisted Perez Hilton for their latest video for the single Make Your Own Luck.

    The video, which is for Jedwards’ latest single, Make Your Own Luck, stars Celebrity Big Brother housemate Perez Hilton, who says cheekily that he really loves the boys and can be seen bopping around to the catchy tune in his office.

    The videos shows the twins living two different lives, one with glory and fame, and the other hardworking but less successful and it has to be said they are looking oh so fine!

    Perez is currently starring in Celebrity Big Brother 2015 and is proving to be one of the most controversial housemates since the programme’s move to Channel 5 in 2011.
