Jedward star Edward Grimes has undergone knee surgery after he suffered a gruesome injury 10 years ago.
The 28-year-old Irish singer, who is the identical twin of John Grimes, has had an invasive knee surgery following the horrific stage accident.
Edward, who shot to fame on The X Factor alongside his twin in 2009, has endured severe pain in his leg for years after the brutal injury.
His recent operation marks the second time the star has had surgery on his knee, and he documented it on social media.
Edward took to Twitter to thank his fans for their support after the painful incident.

Jedward’s representative told Metro: “Edward has been suffering knee complications for many years and ongoing pain from a major stage accident that happened many years ago resulting in an ACL injury.
“Being very active as a performer and touring for many years has done untold damage resulting in the most recent procedure operation.
“Due to rescheduling of tour dates this was the best time for operation and his recovery. With future work commitments he will be determined to get back to full health with physiotherapy.”

Edward’s surgery comes after the twins hit out at Simon Cowell after discovering one of their top tunes has seemingly been erased from the internet.
The pair were fuming after realising their medley of Queen and Vanilla Ice songs, titled Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby), has disappeared from music streaming services.
They raged on Twitter: “Yo @SimonCowell and @SonyMusicUK. Why have you removed our Iconic 1st single Under Pressure Ice Ice baby from all streaming Platforms and deleted the official music video?
“That’s our legacy! We’re outraged. It’s part of Pop culture! We demand a response!”
Neither Sony nor Simon have responded.
