James Jordan, 42, has thanked his social media followers for their love and support after he announced the sad news that his dad William has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
The former Strictly Come Dancing pro took to Twitter and said: “People say ‘social media is such a terrible place’ and on many occasions I agree however, the help and love I’ve had from so many people I’ve never met and probably never will is overwhelming.
“I can honestly say I’ve read all messages on Insta[gram] and Twitter. I thank and love you all.”
James revealed that his “dad and best mate” William had been diagnosed with an inoperable aggressive cancerous tumour.

He has shared plenty of updates of his dad’s health struggles this year, with William being taken to hospital a number of times.
William suffered what appeared to be a number of strokes and was diagnosed with coronavirus before the family looked for more answers.
Sadly for them, James’ dad has now been diagnosed with cancer and told he has just one year to live.

James asked his fans for help in finding the best surgeon they could that may be able to help.
He opened up with his fans last week when he shared a video of his baby daughter Ella and his dad.
James said: “This video is the most precious and personal thing I have in my life right now and I’m going to share it with you but with a totally broken heart.
“Over the last four months my hero and best mate in the whole world has been in and out of hospital with very ill health.

“We were told several times that 100% he had had a stroke and that’s why they were struggling to control his seizures…
“But after the third time of being admitted to hospital I knew something was not quite right.”
He added: “So after pushing for more tests and the results being sent to King’s College Hospital for other surgeons to look at unfortunately the results came back that it wasn’t a stroke after all.
“It was what I had dreaded, my dad has a tumour and after having a biopsy it’s come back that it’s an aggressive cancerous one. The worst kind unfortunately.
“We have been told that it’s not advisable to operate because of where the tumour is and wouldn’t actually make that much difference even if they could. The end result is, it’s terminal.”
James finished the emotional post saying: “They are saying with chemotherapy and radiotherapy we might be lucky and get a year with him.
“As I write this tears are streaming down my face as I’m sure many of you have the same love for your parents. This is honestly the worst time of my life.”
