Jedward<\/a> were unforgettable on Celebrity Big Brother<\/a>, but the duo have now revealed that John was plagued by a ‘scary health<\/a> diagnosis’ the whole time.<\/p>\n

The brothers \u2014 John and Edward Grimes \u2014 have actually appeared on CBB twice,<\/a> first in 2011 then again in 2017, when they finished as runners-up.<\/p>\n

As the latest series kicks off<\/a>, Jedward, 33, spilled some behind-the-scenes secrets and advice from their two stints in the house.<\/p>\n

While most were light-hearted recollections, John discussed the dramatic moment he fell when entering in 2017<\/a> and had to get medical attention.<\/p>\n

‘Another thing that didn\u2019t air is that when we were entering the house, I fell off the stage,’ he shared. ‘I hit my back and had to go to hospital for tests. <\/p>\n

‘At the time, they gave me a scary diagnosis that I could have cancer<\/a>.’<\/p>\n

Thankfully, John was given the all-clear after the series ended, having spent their entire 28-day run plagued by the health crisis.<\/p>\n

‘I went through the experience thinking I was going to die,’ he added to OK! Magazine.<\/a><\/p>\n

In a devastating development, the Eurovision icons would go on to lose their mum, Susanna,<\/a> to cancer just two years later.<\/a><\/p>\n

At the time, John downplayed the fall to Big Brother in the Diary Room: ‘Five seconds on the show and I\u2019ve hurt myself!\u2019<\/p>\n

Pointing out his deflated signature hairstyle, he continued: \u2018You know it\u2019s a bad day when my hair looks like this! Now I have to go to hospital looking like this.\u2019<\/p>\n

He returned to the house that evening, with CBB not airing any conversations about a diagnosis and Jedward carrying on as normal.<\/p>\n

The pair still managed to have fun while in the house, with Edward saying there is plenty of chance for romance on the show.<\/p>\n

‘We could have had loads of showmances but we didn\u2019t entertain them,’ he explained. ‘There are lots of condoms in there \u2013 they have a stash in the bathroom! <\/p>\n

‘The producers have high hopes they\u2019ll get used. There were hilarious moments. <\/p>\n

‘Once, John ran out of underpants, so Bianca Gascoigne gave him her thong.’<\/p>\n
