Jedward have warmed hearts as they opened up about spending the festive season with showbiz pal Gemma Collins, after revealing a poignant family situation.

Chatting to The Mirror at Tulleys Christmas Light Festival just last Friday, John and Edward Grimes shared how they find comfort in their friendship with Gemma during a time when most of their relatives are no longer here.The twins said: "Christmas is really sad, this year we're going to be spending it with Gemma because most of our family have sadly passed.

Gemma's a real one, you know, having someone like Gemma in our lives has definitely been hugely uplifting. We spent Christmas with Gemma last year." They noted the absence of their grandparents makes the holiday season bittersweet, reflecting on the nostalgia of past Christmases: "I feel like Christmas is sad because we don't have our grandparents but we have all our memories so at Christmas time, those feelings come rushing in and you hold that during the holidays." Jedward also spoke candidly about the struggle they face during what should be a cheerful time, touching on their personal losses: "It's very hard.

I feel like as much as people think we bring the energy, we do find ourselves in low moments." Their mum sadly died in 2019.
