Strictly star James Jordan talks Dancing On Ice
Last week, James shared his predictions over who he thinks will do well and who will struggle on the 2025 series of Dancing On Ice.
James himself won the show back in 2019. He was paired up with Alexandra Schauman in the competition.
Speaking to ED! exclusively on behalf of SkyVegas, James confessed it’s difficult to predict who will win the show.
“It’s hard to predict who is going to win Dancing on Ice this year,” he admitted.
He then went on to say how height and age can play a part in helping someone win.
“If you’ve got someone tall, it’s much harder to control your body, especially if you’re on ice. Age is also a factor,” he then added.
“So for example Sir Steve Redgrave is 62 and he’s tall, so I think he’s going to struggle unless he has ice skated before. You only notice those things in the first week,” he then said.
James and Ola’s scare
In other news, over the festive period, James and his wife Ola Jordan suffered a scare when their daughter, Ella, had a nasty fall.
Speaking to HELLO! the couple opened up about how Ella had an accident at home that gave them a shock.
“She fell onto the corner of a chair and it went into her cheek. Thank goodness she didn’t hit the table as she could have ripped her face open. It was awful, she was screaming. I ran up and her cheek had gone white and had a dent in it,” Ola said.
“I thought she’d ripped her cheek apart or something. I’m being very dramatic, but it looked horrible and then suddenly this bruise came up. It was massive on her cheek, massive. Now it’s gone all yellow. At the time I tried to put ice on her cheek but that did not go well – she hated it. We’re so relieved she’s okay,” she then said.
