James Jordan’s father has been hospitalised after having a stroke, the Strictly Come Dancing star announced earlier this evening.
The 41-year-old professional dancer revealed his father was rushed to the emergency ward in the early hours of the morning.
Breaking the devastating news over Twitter, he said: “Hi guys. I’ve been in hospital since 7.30 this morning where my hero and dad was rushed in after having a stroke and seizures.
“Sitting with him now and I’m asking if you could all say a little prayer for him. I’m not ready to lose him!”
He added: “Love to all of you … #LoveMyDad “.
His wife Ola Jordan commented under the thread with a string of heart emojis, showing her support for James at this difficult time.
The couple’s fans flooded the thread, sharing words of support and making it clear they would pray for his father.
