Jordan, 25, told Lorraine Kelly: “I was getting so much sleep in the first week, he was an absolute dream the first week and lured me into a false sense of security!
“Then he started to scream every second he could!”
Jordan added: “But we’re getting there and he’s gorgeous. I love him so much.”
The star confirmed Cassius’ middle name is in honour of his older brother and Diversity co-star Ashley Banjo, 29, who is already planning the baby’s dancing future!
Jordan described Ashley as a “wicked” uncle, adding: “He’s already saying how he wants him in Diversity so I’ll have to train him up pretty quick!”
The tot’s already been to his first Diversity rehearsal!
Last week, Jordan shared a photo to Instagram showing him holding Cassius while standing with Ashley in a dance studio.
He captioned it: “Little man’s first rehearsal day with Daddy & Uncle… someone say newest member of Diversity?”

Ashley previously said he was chuffed that he’d been included in Cassius’ name.
Alongside a photo of him cuddling Cassius, he wrote: “Well, what can I say little man… You’ve definitely gone one better than me on the name front 😄 I’m honoured that your mum and dad decided to include me in naming you.
“I will always do my best to look after you, your mum and your dad. I can’t wait to be a part of showing you the world 🌍!”
Ashley then joked: “Now hurry up and grow… There are routines to learn, plenty of food to eat and if Jordan has anything to do with it – grandmas to prank 😂🙌🏽😃 Love ya Cass 👊🏽.”
He added hashtags including “new baby”, “blessed”, “family” and “next chapter in life”.
