Jedwards’ Edward Grimes has been left “shocked” after being robbed by a “phone theft ring” in London.

The Irish singer, 33, took to his and his twin brothers’ joint Instagram account on Wednesday to alert his followers before giving everyone an update shortly after.

He wrote: ‘Hello, I’m Edward. Someone has stolen my phone, so if anyone tries to contact me, don’t worry because I’m very shocked right now!’

‘My whole life is there. “I’m very grateful to have John now, but they won’t be able to contact me.”

In a separate post, Edward gave another update, writing: “The shop where I was robbed has the two criminal thieves on camera, hopefully we can arrest them and justice will be done and we will put an end to this phone theft ring in London.” ‘

‘My heart skipped a beat! Thank you for your kind messages.’

However, this is not the first time he has been attacked over his phone in London, as he was also shocked last year when two masked men tried to assault him.

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

He said: ‘Be careful everyone! ‘Two masked guys tried to mug me on a bike while I was on the phone!’

‘Obviously shocked but I wasn’t expecting it! It seems to be happening all over London.

Edward added: ‘I felt my wrist and arm being grabbed from behind, it all happened so quickly and I didn’t have John by my side!’

“I would just hate for this to happen to anyone else and for them to make me feel vulnerable.”

The singer rose to fame alongside 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 released four studio albums, of which the first two went double platinum in Ireland.

The divisive double act represented Ireland at Eurovision for two consecutive years in 2011 and 2012.

Earlier this year, Jedward was caught in a fierce war of words with his former mentor Louis Walsh after he branded the twins “vile” on Celebrity Big Brother.

In response, Jedward called the music director, 71, an “evil manipulator.”

While they may no longer have Louis’ support, 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 recording a fun video with the star.

The pop duo broke into Katy’s hit single I Kissed A Girl as she turned around and shook her bum at the camera.

In a second clip, the trio were in good spirits as they danced and sang to the star’s new song, Lifetimes, from his upcoming album 143.

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

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

Katy also shared a clip and added: “These 143 views have really turned into straight up parties. ⁠Love you, London can’t wait for you to hear the rest of 143!’

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

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

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

They wrote: ‘Over 10 years of friendship @teddysphotos JedSheeran Forever. It’s great to see you rocking Dublin and us partying to Jepic vibes.”

The duo are also known to be close friends with TOWIE star Gemma Collins and American Pie actress Tara Reid, who they met 13 years ago on Celebrity Big Brother.
