James Jordan's former Dancing on Ice partner Alexandra Schauman posted a loving tribute to the new father on Instagram this week. The skater shared a video of herself and James practising their Bolero routine on the ice. The short clip started with them kneeling on the ice, gazing intently into each other's eyes before James lifted the pro over his head. The dancer also twirled Alex around before they skated off together.

The DOI pro captioned the footage: "Exactly one year ago @jamesjordan1978 and I were working extremely hard on our Bolero not knowing what a huge obstacle we were going to have to face in the final. I am so proud and beyond thankful that we were able to perform this beautiful piece together despite James’s shoulder injury and I can still almost not believe that we went onto winning the @dancingonice trophy after a standing ovation from all the judges. A memory that I will treasure for life!"
