Jedward star Edward Grimes is devastated after breaking his ankle.
The 32-year-old X Factor legend took to X, formerly Twitter, last week to share his dismay after revealing he injured himself at Dublin City University’s commencement ball.
He shared a photo of his wrapped foot on Thursday, writing: ‘It’s not good guys, I have to get an x-ray on my ankle tomorrow. I really injured it on stage in Dublin but I didn’t want to let everyone down. I fought for you ‘.
The next day Edward said he had heard from the hospital and was “devastated” by the results.
Alongside photos of him wearing his foot in a medical boot and using crutches, he shared: ‘It’s broken, I’m devastated my ankle gave out last night after all these years of performing!’

After warning fans he had suffered an injury, Edward revealed the following day that he had heard from the hospital and was ‘devastated’ by the results
Edward continued: ‘Crazy 24hrs! I’m going to take it easy and heal! Thanks for all your sweet messages!’

The Irish singer rose to fame in 2009 along with his twin brother John as the duo Jedward in the sixth season of The X Factor.
After finishing in sixth place, they released four studio albums, the first two of which were certified double platinum in Ireland.
The divided duo represented Ireland for two years in a row, in 2011 and 2012.
Earlier this year, Jedward was embroiled in a heated spat with former mentor Louis Walsh after he called the twins “despicable” on Celebrity Big Brother.
Jedward branded the 71-year-old music manager a “malicious manipulator”.
Even though they can no longer count on Louis’ support, the twins have been in touch with other big stars lately.
In July, the reality stars ran into Katy Perry and couldn’t resist filming a cute video with the star.

Jedward wrote on social media: ‘I love our girl @katyperry 143’s new album sounds absolutely amazing Jepic can’t wait for everyone to hear it’.
Katy also shared a clip, adding: ‘These 143 playbacks have really turned into full-on parties. I love you London and I can’t wait for you to hear the rest of 143!’
In recent months, reality duo Jedward have been linked to a number of A-list stars, including Rebel Wilson and Ed Sheeran.
The pair were spotted beaming backstage earlier this year for photos ahead of Pitch Perfect actress Rebel’s show at the London Palladium.
John and Edward previously celebrated their ’10-year friendship’ with Bad Habits singer Ed, by sharing a photo gallery with the star.
They wrote: ’10+ years of friendship @teddysphotos JedSheeran Forever. Great to see you rocking Dublin and us partying with the Jepic vibes’.
The duo are also known to be good friends with TOWIE star Gemma Collins and American Pie actress Tara Reid, who they met 13 years ago on Celebrity Big Brother.
While they may no longer have Louis’ support, the twins have been seeing plenty of A-list stars lately, including Katy Perry in July
