Jedward told Dad is on life support after BOTS
 

They were informed that their Dad is in a critical condition minutes after BOTS finished.

</3

Sending my love their way

Poor guy was probably nervous watching his boys, I hope he's proud

:worry:

Why tf would they keep something like this from them? Surely coming out and being with their dad is more important than being in there?

seriously? why weren't they told that earlier?

Pretty admirable if you think about it, he put his sons first, they had the chance to reignite their career again in the house and i assume he didn't want to get in the way of that.

Wow, close family.
If he really is fighting for his life then his sons should have been told, imagine him dying and them not saying goodbye...just for a realty show.
They soon went public with it as well, shame.

fair enough if this was their dads decision but they've done big brother before, this isn't a new thing for them that they have to experience. I'd go crazy if i wasn't told

:sad:

D:
That's horrible :( Hope everything will be okay

what on earth

that's awful

Wish they would have won. Love them, wish them all the best ������

doubt he would have been able to convey if he wanted them to stay or leave if he was on life support..pretty bad not to tell them

It must have been their mum not wanting them told.

Figures

Forgive me for not stating the obvious, but if their dad was on life support or in a critical condition,he would be hardly capable of conveying his condition to his sons, so that responsibility would fall directly to their mum wouldn't it. That being the case and all things correctly considered, what kind of woman withholds such information just so her kids can win a game show. When I say kids, I mean cash cows.

This is totally disgusting. Think what would have happened if he had have passed away and they never got a chance to visit him and say their goodbyes. I simply cannot forgive this woman if indeed this is true. If it isnt i will apologise, but based on reports coming out, all they are saying is that he is in intensive care and the decision to withhold that info from the boys was taken by a close family member.

Latest reports show both parents were in on the decision but Im not buying how anyone on life support to be that compos mentos to make such decisions. Anyway its pretty bad whichever way it comes out. Him being a martyr is one thing, her agreeing is yet another.

Ugh, my heart breaks for the two of them. That literally must be the worst news to receive after you're on such a high.

I hope he gets better.

UNFORGIVEABLE they werent told. People have left the house in the past because loved ones have passed away or are very ill. Praying for them all. I would have cracked up if I hadnt been told by BB my loved one was that ill

Reports say critically ill, that could mean he needs some support but not necessarily unconscious,before the fierce jumping on their Mum begins.

Any patient insisting their illness is not made public and not told to someone has to be respected by all and not just medical staff.

Their Dad is proud of his sons, as long as he was critical but not life threatening,then he himself giving that instruction they were not to be informed, then no added stress would be allowed as to him concerning same.

I am sure they will be at his side and he,like their Mum will be really proud of them and their result on CBB.

Really hope their Dad improves and gets well soon.

How terrible for them. I hope they get to see their dad before anything terrible happens. My own father died in slightly unusual circumstances, he had a flight related stroke after arriving on holiday and died abroad. He was disabled and diabetic but had been given good health checks to have the holiday. I never got to see him and by the time his remains came home was advised not to see him like that too. So basically my dad went off on his holidays to Portugal and a coffin came back. I know he's gone but I've never really had closure and you are left with a vague surreal feeling that it's not real. I don't wish that on them it's not easy to come to terms with.

For those criticising their mother. It's a difficult situation and we should all walk a mile in someone else's shoes before criticism on something like this. Also for all we know he could have been taken ill during last night's show and the news didn't arrive until they were told. Let's rise above and try not to go there, and hope for them it all turns out better than it did for me.

Sorry to read your tragic experience jaxie.
Thank you for sharing it with us.

A very compelling post from you as to your own really sad account and also as to the Twins Father's current illness.

Jaxie how awful for you :hug:

Terrible news for them to exit to, the fact that the media didn't get hold of it suggests it was a very recent thing, it's a difficult one to judge because we don't know any of the facts surrounding his illness, but as usual the boot is put in before the full facts are known, wishing him all the best.

So sorry to hear this :kiss:
