James Jordan’s hip injury fear

James Jordan is worried about his future on ‘Dancing On Ice’ after hurting his hip.
The 40-year-old professional dancer and his skating partner Alexandra Schauman have been tipped as favourites to win this year’s contest, but the former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star is concerned his time on the show may come to a premature end because he’s been left in agony following a fall.
He wrote in his Best magazine column: "I fell practising a jump the other day and landed on my hip.
"Given I have arthritis there, it wasn’t ideal. It hurt – a lot."
However, James is hoping to ease his pain and boost his chances of staying on the show by undergoing daily physiotherapy sessions.
He added: "I’m getting daily physio and trying to man up. The last time I was in this much pain was when Brendan Cole and I were messing around backstage at ‘Strictly’, and he accidentally pushed
me down a set of stairs.
Despite his admission, James is still training hard for the show, even though he is in pain.
He said on his Instagram Story on Wednesday (06.02.19): "I’m going back on the ice and I’m going to learn how to jump today.
"Still on the ice, trying to master these jumps and it’s driving me mad. I’ve got my hockey pants on because I keep falling over and my hip’s killing me but I will get there."
And the former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star was left cheered by his wife Ola Jordan’s home cooking after a hard day’s training.
He said: "The downsides to performing on Sunday nights for ‘Dancing On Ice’ is that I don’t get to have my roast dinners and I love a Sunday roast.
"So I’m sitting here, watching TV and I have my amazing roast dinner which Ola’s prepared. She’s a good girl."
