JEDWARD star Edward Grimes has been left ‘shaken’ after he was robbed by a ‘phone stealing ring.’
The 33-year-old music star took to social media to alert his followers to what had happened.
He penned: “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.”
On a separate Instagram post, Edward gave another update and wrote: “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.”
Around this time last year, Edward was left shaken up after an attempted mugging by masking attackers.
The singer - best known for being part of Jedward - shared his terrifying experience on X at the time.
Edward, who took part in ITV's X Factor alongside his brother John in 2009, told their followers to be wary in the capital.
He said: "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."

One wrote: "Genuinely Can't even begin to imagine how you felt/are feeling... I can feel my own heart rate spiraling up just imagining this happening to you and reading this, breaks my fucking heart. Take care of yourself, hopefully you'll be fine soon. Stay safe, love u. xxx."
Another said: "Bless you - so shocking."
