Jedward star Edward Grimes has claimed to have been visited by ghosts of his family members welcoming him back to life after emergency appendix surgery.

Once back home, he told fans about his otherworldly experience by posting: "I'm back home and I've seen two white spirit auras radiating energy in my room. Honestly think it's past family members welcoming me back.

"I'm not an expert but I know the energy I felt and it was very present. This has happened in the past in two other locations so I know what I'm seeing.

"Almost a glow of energy radiating a pulsing effect if that makes sense. I feel this sense of calm and love surrounding me.

"You aren't alone there is guardian angels or energies around us all."

Edward called his emergency surgery "life-threatening" in one Instagram post and shared his struggles to go to the toilet, even showing off a hospital bladder of urine.

He wrote: "Just had immediate surgery to remove my appendix.

"It was a life threatening and scary situation but I'm grateful the emergency team have operated on me and stopped the agony.

"I'm healing and on the road to recovery!"

As Edward's hospital stay drew to an end, he reflected back emotionally on the previous 48 hours and how they had changed him – saying he had even found a potential life partner.

He wrote: "The most insane hospital trip of my life...

"Had the kindest caring soul next to me. Met someone else who I could marry someday.

"Had such an eventful time like it's gonna be a chapter in a book someday or just in my thoughts.

"But I've experienced so much emotions in the last 48 hours. The warmest, kindest energy."

Filming his shaky steps down the corridor as he left hospital, Edward described the experience as "emotional AF".

He added: "Never been this vulnerable and just overcoming it all I feel this new energy from within me.
