James Jordan declares Strictly final a 'two horse race' as he rules out couples' chances

James Jordan has claimed that the race for this year's Strictly Come Dancing is between just two couples, despite their being four in the final.

James was one of the most talked about pros on Strictly for years, partnering the likes of Pamela Stephenson and Denise Van Outen, before leaving the show and going onto appear in other programmes like Celebrity Big Brother, The Real Full Monty and Dancing on Ice, which he won.

He has ben very outspoken with his opinions on Strictly, often voicing his disapproval of the professional group numbers, questioning some of the judges' scores and the decisions on who to send home, with him angered by Tyler West's exit this year. James has developed quite a following on Twitter every Saturday is Strictly on, as he awards his own scores for the performances, as well as giving his own critiques of the dances.
