James Jordan, the former Strictly Come Dancing professional turned ice skating star, has made it to the final of Dancing on Ice.

The professional ballroom dancer and choreographer from Medway recorded two perfect 40 scores from the judges in tonight's semi-final live on ITV.

He will take part in final of the 11th series of the show alongside Love Island star Wes Nelson and former X Factor contestant Saara Aalto.

Yet there was disappointment for Westlife star Brian McFadden, who was voted off by the public in tonight's programme.

Watched by wife Ola in the audience, Jordan was given a standing ovation after his second routine to Do You Love Me by the Contours, chosen because the film Dirty Dancing and its star Patrick Swayze inspired him to become a dancer.

His routines were described as "magnificent" by judge Jason Gardiner, while Jane Torvil said she felt like she was watching a professional skater.

The 40-year-old, who is partnered with Alexandra Schauman, appeared emotional after the performance.

He said: "That, what just happened there [the standing ovation], is the reason I loved what I did when I was dancing.

"I never thought I would feel again what just happened then so thank you."

Jordan, who now lives in Maidstone with his wife and dance partner Ola Jordan, appeared on Strictly for seven years until 2013.

In 2014, he also took part in Celebrity Big Brother.

The final of Dancing on Ice is next Sunday on ITV from 6pm.
