The family had made the decision not to tell the boys while they were in the house, as they knew that if the twins had found out, they’d leave.
Jedward’s family said they didn’t want the boys to disappoint fans if they left the house early.

Speaking to The Daily Star, Jedwards mother Susanna Condron – also the boy’s manager – said that her husband had been in intensive care for over a week:
