Taking to Twitter on Sunday, the former Strictly dancer revealed that his two-year-old daughter, Ella, has an ongoing ear infection.

He updated his followers on her well-being on Sunday, writing: "Hi guys - thanks for all of the lovely messages about Ella. She's still quite poorly but doing better.
