X Factor singers, John and Edward Grimes almost died as babies after they were born three months prematurely.

John told The Mirror: “We were born three months prematurely.

“I was in an incubator when I was younger, it was kind of scary, the same with Edward.”

“We were together and we’re lucky to be here. I suppose we have always been trying to upset the odds and we are very close because of that.” Their dad said last night: “They were so small and fragile, thankfully they pulled through. They’ve always had a bond and I think it goes right back to that. Even now they are in tune with each other.”

The most amazing thing about the story isn’t that John and Edward pulled through but that John seems to remember the whole thing. How many of you ‘normal’ people can remember how scared you were at only a few days old?
