James Jordan’s daughter Ella, 3, rushed to hospital as Strictly star mourns late friend Robin Windsor
JAMES Jordan was forced to rush his daughter Ella to hospital once again yesterday.
The three-year-old has been unwell for a number of months after being diagnosed with pneumonia, tonsillitis and also a heart murmur.
Former Strictly star James, 45, had a ‘traumatic’ day yesterday following the tragic death of his co-star Robin Windsor, and ended up rushing her daughter to A&E.
Alongside a picture of Ella – who he shares with wife Ola Jordan – looking sad, James wrote: “What a truly horrible day – from Ella throwing up in the early hours of the morning from coughing so much again.
“Myself not being able to sleep so going on my phone to see the loss of a Strictly Legend and friend – Robin Windsor.
“Getting to the doctors at 9am and being sent to the hospital with Ella to have lots more test – including bloods (very traumatic)
“Anyway – we all just got home but feel mentally drained. Hope you all had a better one than us. Sending love to all of you.”
Sad loss
James had paid tribute to Robin earlier in the day following the shocking news of his death at the age of 44.
He shared with fans: “I had the pleasure of working with this man for many years on Strictly – I have such fond memories of him.
“He was always very caring and fun to be around. Everyone who came in contact with him adored him, from his celebrity partners to his working colleagues. You will be missed old friend.”
Health issues
Ola and James recently opened up about their daughter’s health issues and told how medics fear Ella has a hole in her heart.
The toddler was also diagnosed with pneumonia after being rushed to hospital with a high temperature in December.
Ola explained to Hello magazine: “Ella was first diagnosed with a heart murmur a couple of years ago.
“Then, just before her second birthday, she was at the hospital and the doctor said: ‘I’m not sure about her heart; there’s a little hole that needs to be double checked with another doctor.'”
James continued: “We were told that if she does have a hole in the heart, they can’t do anything until she’s older and stronger, so they suggested we wait.”
James joined Strictly in 2006, while Ola appeared from 2006 to 2015.
The couple first met in 1999 and married in 2004, before welcoming their daughter a few years ago.
The pair recently released a weight loss plan and continue to share their views on Strictly online.
