James Jordan's baby is the apple of his eye, and the former Strictly Come Dancing star is loving every minute of fatherhood. The 41-year-old is busy making memories with his daughter, and over the weekend he sat up with her to watch the final of Dancing on Ice, which he won in the 2019 series. On Twitter, he wrote: "Watching @dancingonice with my baby girl," before sharing a video of himself being crowned the skating champion. James also posted a video of the moment he won on Instagram, and wrote in the caption about his plans to "proudly" tell his daughter about the moment when she is a bit older.

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!" The star then went on to reflect on the changes that have taken place in the last twelve months: "I am so so happy and thrilled for James and @olajordan and their little bundle of joy. What a difference a year can make!"
