Celebrity Ex on the Beach's John Grimes appreciates 'judgment' of a partner from twin Edward Grimes
John Grimes likes to get an honest opinion of a love interest from his identical twin brother, Edward Grimes, before he fully commits to them.
John Grimes appreciates his brother Edward Grimes' "judgment" of a partner before fully committing to someone.
The 34-year-old identical twins are inseparable, but they are prepared to be split on opinion when it comes to finding their soulmate.
John exclusively told BANG Showbiz at the Celebrity Ex on the Beach series four launch event in London on March 26: "No one has to impress Edward, but at the same time, I do appreciate his judgment."
An energetic woman who can match their personalities is a must for the singers - who shot to fame on series six of ITV's The X Factor in 2009.
John said: "I feel like whoever I’ve been with, they’ve always had to bring as much life to the table as I bring because I feel that’s important for someone who has as much personality, throws up curveballs and it makes sure that you can handle it.
"I think it’s important to be around people who are able to lift you up as much as you lift them up.
"I feel like the people I’ve been around, I’ve always been with for the right intentions, they're keeping it real, and that’s important to me."
John will be staying true to himself as he jets out to Tenerife to meet a potential lover, only to also reunite with one of his ex-girlfriends on Paramount+'s Celebrity Ex on the Beach - the star's first project without Edward.
Having a relationship play out in public is new territory for John, but the performer thinks he has secretly manifested doing a second dating show, following MTV's Single AF in 2017.
Asked why the media personality has decided to do Celebrity Ex on the Beach amid being very private about his relationships, John explained: "I felt like the time was now when they approached me. I said, 'I’ll probably never be on the show, the time’s passed.'
"And then a few months later ... so I don’t know if I’ve manifested it internally that I was going to be on the show.
"I’ve always been proud of all the girls that I’ve been with, and whoever was going to wash up, I was proud of them, and I was happy to see them again, and I possibly rekindled something, which is good."
John dropped a big spoiler that he got back with ex-girlfriend Sarah Carragher on Celebrity Ex on the Beach after the TV star posted a loved-up shot of them in front of Tower Bridge just before the season four launch boat party to Instagram.
John captioned the sweet upload: "Here’s to a new chapter and making memories with the best girl xxx. (sic)"
And his mistake has reportedly frustrated bosses of the pre-recorded programme, which also stars Coronation Street alum Helen Flanagan, 35, The Only Way is Essex cast member Dani Imbert, 27, Love Island's Toby Aromolaran, 27, Married at First Sight UK star Amy Kenyon, 29, The Challenge alum Izzy Fairthorne, 26, Love Is Blind UK's Freddie Powell, 34, and Too Hot to Handle star Chase DeMoor, 29.
Celebrity Ex on the Beach Series 4 launched in the UK on Paramount+ on Tuesday, March 31.
