Inside Jedward’s Christmas Day plans with Gemma Collins as they issue tragic update
Following a heartbreaking update, former X Factor contestants Jedward and Gemma Collins announced their plans to spend Christmas Day together.  ,
In an interview with The Mirror at Tulleys , Christmas , Light Festival last Friday, the twins revealed why Christmas has been particularly difficult for them.
The majority of their family members have unfortunately passed away, leaving them with only their Christmas, according to John and Edward Grimes. Gemma Collins, their close friend, has been a huge help to them, though.
The pop stars explained to us that Gemma and the majority of our family members have sadly passed away this year. Christmas is very sad. Gemma’s a real one, you know, having someone like Gemma in our lives has definitely been hugely uplifting. Last year, we celebrated Christmas with Gemma.
They continued, “I think Christmas is sad because we don’t have our grandparents, but we do have all of our memories, so you feel those feelings when you think about it during the holidays.”
Jedward then spoke about how tough the festive season is for them, saying: “It’s very hard. We can experience low moments, as some people believe we can bring the energy. They continued: “It’s a hard time, our mum’s not around, our granny and grandad and people that meant a lot to us aren’t around, so that alone hits you hard during the holidays when everyone is complaining about their family members or whoever, at least they have them around”.
The pair also made a point about how difficult Christmas can be for many people, especially in the midst of dreary and chilly winters. Offering advice to their fans, they said: “You’ve got to keep living until the sunlight gets back”.
As for their Christmas Day plans with Gemma, Jedward shared: “We’re going to be spending it with Gemma, she’s already invited us. She gave our tree Christmas decorations. During the festive season, she’ll literally be staying at ours. She got us customised stockings. It’s really sweet, it’s nice that Gemma’s able to rise to the occasion and be such a great friend”.
Jedward have created their own Christmas song, LOVEmas, set to be released on December 6th. The twins revealed they’d love to perform it at anyone’s wedding or engagement. When asked whose wedding they’d like to perform at, they jokingly mentioned Kerry Katona, saying: “Maybe Kerry Katona is the next one, maybe we’ll be there”.
Gemma and Jedward have been close friends for many years, and the twins frequently visit her in Essex and Ireland. According to reports, the trio has shared three Christmases. Gemma shared with her children that they would be visiting her over the holiday season last year and posted a video of them singing Feliz Navidad on Instagram with a sincere caption. She wrote: “It’s OFFICIALLY CHRISTMAS when @jepicpics (the twins ‘ Instagram page) come to stay for the whole time. The kindest people to me and real friends”.
