James Jordan has set his sights on his daughter becoming a golfer.
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional has shared a clip of baby Ella – whom he has with with wife Ola – watching the sport on TV, and she enjoyed it so much, he thinks she’ll take up the club sport when she’s old enough.
He captioned the Instagram Story video: "She wants to be a golfer, she told me", and added the crying-laughing face emoji.
Ella arrived into the world in February, and last month, the couple had to take her to hospital after she was "really unsettled" after not sleeping for a couple of days, and she was finding it hard to swallow
After speaking to Ola’s sister – a pharmacist – they decided to call the NHS helpline, despite initially not wanting to trouble the National Health Service during the coronavirus pandemic.
James said: "She hasn’t slept for the last couple of days. She’s been really unsettled, really miserable.
"Moving a lot, kicking her legs and flailing her arms and struggling to clear her mouth.
"She had a lot of saliva in her mouth and it was almost like she couldn’t swallow properly. It was like she was choking on her own saliva."
Ola described the situation as "heartbreaking" as they had to take her into hospital for some tests and it turned out their daughter was suffering from a severe bout of reflux.
He explained: "We called 111 and told them what was going on and they sent an ambulance out. Then the paramedics said, ‘Right, we’ll take her in and get someone to have a look at her.’
"They took her into hospital and a paediatrician saw her very quickly. We were probably there about an hour and a half.
"They did some blood tests on her which she hated, checked her heart and her breathing. It came back that she had a bad case of reflux."
The couple admitted the situation was "terrifying" for them as new parents, and James encouraged everyone to still seek help if necessary despite the current health crisis.
He added: "We put our clothes straight in the wash basket, we put alcohol on our hands, you just do everything you can. But at the end of the day, if you’re that worried, you still have to go in."
