TBH he's not really worth the effort. More of an annoying fly you want to swat. Like all attention seekers what riles him most is being ignored. Good attention / Bad attention are all a result for him......just ignore him and he'll drop off the radar......probably before SCD 2012.
Had enough of James Jordan!

I have just rewatched Jason and Kristina's AT and the part in the Tesspit....I thought James had only done the stupid smile but when Jason was saying how tired everyone was, James was wiping pretend tears from his eyes.......The man is an idiot and I hope he isnt back.....my husband who isnt a strictly fan at all saw it today and remarked on the bloke 'taking the mick' at the back

the really annoying face pulling and where Aliona keeps gesturing him to stop is after the judges gave their marks and Tess continued interviewing J & K for a minute or so ... I think the youtube video's cut that bit off
the thing that James probaby doesn't reaise is that the face he was pulling was particuary unflattering so didn't do him any favours at all

Yes I agree!! They (James and Ola) have been told that they're not needed for the tour so fingers crossed he won't be there next year!!

I also am fed up with James Jordan's attention seeking behaviour - he and Ola have been dropped from the Tour and I wouldn't be surprised if the couple are dropped from the Show.next series.
I think it is amazing that James has now become a celebrity in his own right and has overshadowed Alex(who was suppposed to be the celeb). Acting too nice and being coy didn't cut it for her and she came across as boring while he came across with attitude
Looks like the producers have wised up, him and Ola have not been asked to do the Tour and he's been quite vocal on Twitter according to the Daily Mail. Serves him right, he's so arrogant!

The tour and BBC producers are not the same people. Craig is producing the tour. This is an old story rehashed by some tabloids today, there's a thread further down the page which has more details in it

True, but they do say be careful who you get into bed with.

Very true indeed !!
James has always been my favourite male pro, until now !!! this series especially he has been really getting on my last nerve. I think they should keep quiet when the panel are giving their views and anything the pro wants to addresss should be done at the interview with Tess.

If the judges are going to make personal comments- in this series practically almost suggesting Alex was frigid in one case - its not surprising if people respond. With Alex there was a ongoing issue building her confidence which James was obviously heavily engaged in - so its hardly surprising if he defended her when someone tried to destroy it and did so gain against lesser attacks. In this case Alex couldn't obviously do it herself so James did.
The real issue is why judges are making such comments. The only answer is either they have been told to be rude or negative ( or in Len's case sometimes crude) or they have lost it. If they have been told by producers to make things more panto (like X factor) , there's no point unless someone like James does respond to it. If they have gone over the top in their comments, Dancing On Ice with its change of judges, offers a solution.

Yes but the tour looks a disaster this year anyway and that decision just makes it weaker by making Robbie partnerless and pointless . It looks like a another nail in the coffin from whoever decided not to find any past great celebs, booked a non runner like Mark Foster, decided to inflict Nancy on the public again, and failed to sign up Russell or Holly.

Could be. I think James is a great dancer - loved him with Cherie Lunghi - but he is too attention seeking. Brendan is a bad boy but he does know when to keep quiet.
I'm not sure I want James and Ola to be dropped but I would like him to stop overshadowing his celebrity.

This is a very important point. Part of the learning to dance in SCD, a very important part, is building confidence. How can they progress when they are undermined so harshly that their feet are knocked from under them. I like Craig as a person but when on ITT he claimed this is what improved her performance I thought
Why did he then go on to say that he found another later performance "almost erotic"? In my opinion because he was backtracking and realised that there had been a strong reaction to this comment.James was the one who improved her performance, and no-one can really deny that he was very supportive and kind towards Alex. Whatever else he does wrong, he did that right.

Sorry if this has been posted already - Craig says it was his decision not to have the Jordan's on tour, in order to allow Katya to take part...

I can't see Craig's point really.....
I've paid good money to go to the tour - and I would prefer to see Robbie dancing with the partner who got him as far as she did through the series OLA!!
I would much rather see the partnerships we have got used to on the show not ones artificially created because "its not fair" that Katya (or whoever) hasn't done the tour before - if they want Katya on tour - give her a celeb who's likely to get far on in the process so she gets there on her own merit.
If a pro dancers partner signs up for the tour - their pro should have first refusal on dancing with them not at the behest of the producer who seems to be being a bit petty.
Its funny that Craig has picked now to tell teh "moaning Jordans" to shut up - From what I saw - James and Ola told their fans on Twitter that they wouldn't be doing the tour - and haven't said anything since. And to be fair - dumping them by email was the cowards way out!

Agreed Craig is just trying to drum up publicity for the tour now SCD tv series is nearing it's end - James and Ola made the announcement over a month ago and have barely mentioned it since - it's their fans that have been complaining on twitter espcially now Craig is making these comments to the media - whatever your views on the Jordans they have contributed to the success of the tours and they deserved better treatment than this! I was going to book tickets but I decided against it in the end - I think I made the right decision!

I've never really warmed to James or Ola (maybe a bit more with Ola this year with Robbie) but there's no doubting his ability as a dancer. His work with Alex this year and the progress she made was very impressive - surely that's what it's all about,
If I'd bought tickets for the tour I'd be less than pleased with this decision - I'd expect to be seeing the partnerships we saw in the series. To suggest that the Jordans are out in order to make way for Katya is ridiculous - she has no more right to a place on the tour than they do.

I agree - James and Ola tweeted that they'd been dumped from the tour by email at the last minute - which I think anyone would be angry about. They haven't made any kind of comment about it since, yet Craig has gone and made various comments in the press (or if the press made the comments up, he hasn't refuted them). I know who I think comes out of this worse, and it's not the Jordans...
