Homeless James Jordan thanks fans as 'thousands' offer him and Ola a place to stay

It's been a testing few days for former Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jordan and his wife Ola, as the pair recently found themselves being made homeless. The pair were desperately searching for somewhere to live in the run up to Christmas, whilst they wait for work on their new home to be finished.

However, after a run in with a 'very rude' landlord, it seemed like the situation was hopeless.

Yet 44-year-old James gave an update to fans as he confirmed he and wife Ola and daughter Ella have found somewhere to live. He revealed the family of three had found somewhere to move into as an interim home, but he had been inundated with offers from fans offering them a place to stay.

Speaking to the camera, James said: "Hi guys, I hope you're well. I haven't been on here for a little while. As many of you are aware, we are currently trying to move home.

"We didn't have anywhere to go because the rental property we were gonna move into didn't work out for several reasons. We have now finally found somewhere else.

"But I wanted to come on here just to say thank you so much. I must have had 1000s upon 1000s of messages of amazing people out there offering their help offering for us to come and live with them from Ireland, Scotland everywhere, which is really, really nice.

"And I just wanted to come on here to say thank you very much."

He then joked: "And there were even the odd guys saying that they were happy to take Ola but unfortunately didn't have space for myself and Ella."

Daughter Ella could be seen in the background eating breakfast before wife Ola appeared holding a Strictly trophy from their time on the BBC programme. As she teased James about throwing it out, he quipped: "No, that's my trophy. You chucked your Strictly trophy."
