James Jordan ‘overwhelmed’ by support from fans

Earlier this summer, James admitted he was ‘overwhelmed’ by all the support from his fans, following his dad’s terminal cancer diagnosis.

The Dancing On Ice winner, who welcomed baby Ella with wife Ola in February, revealed on social media that his dad has an incurable tumour.

Allan had been in and out of hospital over several months because he was ill. And it was originally thought he had suffered a stroke.

Doctors discovered a tumour and said it was “not advisable to operate”.

After sharing the news, James’ social media followers inundated him with supportive messages.

He later thanked fans for their kind words, writing on Twitter: “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 and Twitter. I thank and love you ALL.”
