James Jordan has joked that he’d have been “worse” than fellow Strictly star Giovanni Pernice with the ladies if he had been single.
The star was one of the pro dancers on the BBC ballroom show from 2006 to 2013 and is married to fellow former Strictly dancer Ola. They tied the knot before the show, and James quipped that things might have been very different if he hadn’t met his wife by then.
Opening up about the so-called Strictly curse, he teased that he might even have outdone hunky Giovanni. The pro is a huge favourite with fans and during his run on the series has been romantically linked to Strictly celebs Georgia May Foote and Ashley Roberts.

James said he didn’t really believe in the idea of a Strictly curse, saying what went on on the show was no different to what went on in any workplace. But he did say he could understand why several Strictly stars have got together, including Giovanni with Georgia and Ashley.

He told The Sun during a chat about: “You’re very close, aren’t you? Day one, you come in and you’re literally rubbing up on each other, groin to groin.
“You just met them and you’re rubbing your crown jewels up against them. It’s normal in our world but not for everyone else and you’re so close to each other, dancing sexy, and there’s nice music and you’re training with each other for eight hours a day, so if there is a little bit of chemistry, something’s going to happen.”

“If they’re single, I say crack on, I’m all for it,” said the star. “If I wasn’t with Ola, I’d have been worse than Giovanni!”
Ola and James tied the knot in 2003 and in 2020 they started a family when they welcomed a daughter named Ella. The pair had been open about struggling to conceive and had Ella after undergoing IVF.

“Finding out that we are pregnant is no doubt our biggest achievement ever,” James told Hello! magazine after the pair discovered that Ola was expecting. “This is probably the most special and exciting thing that has ever happened to us,” added the star.
