In pain: Edward Grimes of Jedward is rushed to hospital after injuring himself during T4 On The Beach


They are famous for their energetic dance routines.

But Edward Grimes of The X Factor favourite duo Jedward found there are some drawbacks to their exuberant moves as he fell over while performing Ghostbusters at T4 On The Beach today.

The 18-year-old singer was bounding around the stage with his twin brother John when he twisted his leg during a particularly difficult move.

He was then taken to a local hospital where he was being treated for his injuries - believed to either be a broken leg or twisted knee ligaments.

Jedward’s manager Louis Walsh said he was concerned for the singer's health, but couldn’t confirm how serious the injury was.

He told the Daily Mail: ‘It was live TV and that’s what can happen on live TV. They were excited to be performing in front of 70,000 people and we hope he’s alright.'

After the fall, Edward clutched his leg in agony and struggled to get up as he tried to continue the routine.

However, ever the professional, Edward performed the rest of the routine either on his knees or hopping around the stage.

Clearly in pain, he finished the performance before giving twin John a huge high five as he completed the routine.

After coming off stage, an ambulance was called for the teen singer, who looked upset and worried as he was taken to hospital.

And he wasn't the only one concerned about his injuries - John was right behind his twin as he was loaded into the ambulance and rushed to hospital.

While some fans took to Twitter to mock Edward's accident, others were genuinely concerned for The X Factor star.

A spokesperson for the Irish duo said: 'We think he's broken his leg and at the very least has badly twisted the ligament in his knee.'

After Edward was taken to hospital, JLS, who performed later in the day, sent get well wishes to the hair-raising star.

On Twitter, Oritsé wrote: 'BIG RESPECT to JEDWARD. 1 of them broke their ankle on stage & still carried on till the end! Say wat u want but that's a performer. Oritsé.'

And soon after Oritsé's comments, dedicated Jedward fans started a new trending topic on Twitter called #GetWellSoonEdwardGrimes.
