Dirty dancing: wife's kick breaks Strictly star's nose Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan is nursing a broken nose after his wife, Ola, accidentally kicked him in the face during rehearsals yesterday. The show professional was injured as they practised a group dance for the show's return. A source said Ola was "very apologetic" about inflicting the injury. And shortly after the accident, she posted a message on Twitter, saying: "I'm so so sorry. I feel so bad. After seeing medics, Jordan was planning to carry on with last night's show in which he was to make his debut with celebrity partner Denise Van Outen. He was determined to carry on with the programme for the sake of Van Outen, who missed her grandfather's funeral to train and hoped to appear in his "honour." A spokeswoman for the show said Jordan was "insisting" on going ahead with the show for Van Outen's sake. "Denise really wants to dance in honour of her grandfather," she said. The pair have been practising a waltz to With You I'm Born Again by Billy Preston and Syreeta. Jordan has not been bandaged up, but there is bruising around his nose and the show's bosses are expecting him to have black eyes by tonight's show. Another pro from the series, Artem Chigvintsev, received a minor injury yesterday when he was hit in the face by Flavia Cacace's elbow. But he is thought to have escaped with just bruising to his cheek. The latest injuries follows last week's accident in which Aliona Vilani suffered a hairline crack to the bone in her ankle. She has had to drop out of the show for up to a month and producers have drafted in a replacement from the United States, Iveta Lukosiute. Jordan's broken nose comes days after Van Outen jokingly posed for photos in which she pretended to punch him on the side of the face. Strictly had its first live show of the series last night, with an hour-long edition featuring half of the couples. The remainder will appear in a further show tonight.
