JLS star 'faces family heartbreak'

JLS star Marvin Humes has been left heartbroken following the death of his grandmother, a report claims.

According to The People, Dundee-born Patricia Hughes, 68, passed away following a seven-month battle with cancer as her grandson edged closer to chart success.

A source revealed: "They were very close and he is absolutely heartbroken. She called on all [of] Scotland to get behind him in The X Factor."

Humes, 23, and his three bandmates are expected to reach the UK's top spot today with 'Beat Again', their first release.

The insider added: "He is gutted she won't get to see the success of their debut single."

JLS finished in second place on The X Factor last year, losing out to Alexandra Burke in the final.
