I like James as well. He makes me laugh and doesn't take himself too seriously.

I totally agree with you he needs to engage his brain before opening his mouth . .Think to sum him up he could cause trouble in an empty room

His tweets are harmless. Nothing to worry about there.

Was Craig really a rent boy?

ETA I like James on ITT. Whenever he reaches the end of his dancing career on the show, it would be great to see him more on ITT or presenting.

From looking into it, it actually seems more like he had a "sugar-daddy" rather than he was an actual rent-boy. Whether that's James misinterpreting or there's more to it that I can't find I don't know!

Sorry that the link is from The Fail!:

And cripes at the lovely pink ensemble he's wearing in the old photo!

I don't have twitter either, but you can still read if you want to. Just type "twitter search" into Google, and type in the name that you want. The person you are looking for will be shown, so just click on the picture.

I agree with all of these posts which isn't surprising as James is my favourite male pro dancer, I don't *do* Twitter but, as maggie said, he's just supporting his wife ..... how can anyone know what he's like in real life, Ola is the only one who knows and they've been married for ten years so he can't be that unpleasant

The obvious difference is that people on the board are viewers of the show, not people working on the show as pro dancers. When someone on here criticises any aspect of Strictly, it doesn't affect the show or those who work on it, because it's just a comment from a random on the internet. When James Jordan shoots his mouth off on twitter, the other pros and others who work on Strictly will see it or hear about it from their colleagues who've read the tweets. The tweets could also be picked up by the media.

James is basically part of Strictly, and his behavior reflects on everyone else involved with the show and the show itself. There's only so long that TPTB will put up with James publically mouthing off.

Personally, I found the comment he made about Craig disgusting. He needs to stop defending all and sundry - Ola, Vincent, et al, are perfectly capable of defending themselves, and to be honest, I think his defences do more harm than good.

Craig does seem to have delusions of nobility some times.

That said, I find James' aggressive "I'M JUST SAYING IT LIKE IS!" persona kind of hilarious given that according to James HOW IT IS always without fail either benefits him or his wife and is often self-contradictory (see : his attitude to John Sergeant vs his attitude towards Chris Hollins for one)”

I agree.
Craig is prone to slagging people off so he has to expect to get some back.
James isn't eloquent and talks from the hip (or thereabouts) but I'm all for people saying what they think instead of fannying around like a politician.

What is your source for this information?

craig is pretty bomb proof, i doubt he is or would be bothered by anything james (the brain) jordan has to say.

I agree, I can't see want the problem is really. I quite like James, yes sometimes he goes on a bit, and he wears his heart on his sleeve, but I find it quite sweet how much he and Ola clearly adore each other (now I've said that, I've probably doomed their relationship!).

Fine to have an opinion (we all do, after all), but a little bit of tact and diplomacy would stand him in better stead. After all, it's his career (and his wife's) that will suffer if people who decide which pros to book take offence at him.

Having said that, he's not been in the pro dances recently for the same reason that Robin has been missing - they are both injured and unable to dance.

He and Ola are not doing the tour, nor did they do so last year. But the Strictly tour is done under licence from the BBC and is NOT a BBC production. Craig produced it last year and didn't employ the Jordans, which might explain James' catty tweet about him being an ex-rent boy. We don't know what goes on behind the scenes but, as I said earlier, it's not in his best interests to be quite so public about this kind of thing.”

Ola danced with Louis Smith last year and James with DVO.They didn't tour the year before.

The irony is that if someone said what they thought of James to his face (or publically), he'd be the first to kick off and criticise them for doing that. He's a classic example of someone who can dish it out but can't take it.

I agree with you totally and can't add anything.

I have liked James Jordan in the past but find his current behaviour boring it's about time he grew up he's nearly 40 for God's sake.

Ola I like too. The poster who said she'd been married to James for 10 years so he couldn't be an unpleasant man was ridiculous. Who knows what gives on in their private lives and whether Ola gets fed up with these outbursts. Please just let your feet do the talking.

Sorry I did add something but your post was excellent.

Can' t say I am honestly sure in his place I' d have been all that gracious either. Too easy to comment in the abstract. Harder to put myself in his shoes.

Both Craig and James can be ... erm ... difficult.

I've never taken to James, but he seems to get on well with the other male pros and Ola loves him, so he must have something to recommend him.

I'm generally a Craig fan but he didn't come across well on 'The Sound of Musicals' and a friend who has met him thought he was rather rude.

As a couple James and Ola have done very well out of strictly

I'm sure there are many others who wish they could be in their privileged position

Time stands still for no man. No one is irreplaceable and there are many others who have left suck as Katya, Ian Waite and Matthew Cutler who I wish were in instead.
