James Jordan Defends Actions in Resurfaced Strictly Footage

Former Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jordan faced backlash over resurfaced training footage from 2006 showing him pushing his partner and commenting on her weight. Jordan defended himself, stating the footage was edited for entertainment by the BBC and did not reflect his true intentions. This comes amidst a broader controversy in the show, with investigations into misconduct involving professional dancers like Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima. Despite the criticism, Jordan emphasized that he has never received complaints from his dance partners, insisting the clips were exaggerated for TV purposes and should not be compared to real abuse allegations behind the scenes.
