Strictly Come Dancing's former professional James Jordan ruled out making a return to the show with his wife Ola because he's 'too old, too fat'.
The 42-year-old ballroom dancer and choreographer, who starred on the show between 2006 and 2013, appears to think his time on the show has passed.
Speaking to The Sun about the likelihood of making a Strictly return, Jordan firmly shut any hopes down.
“No, not now. I’m too old, too fat and too slow. Let the young ones do it. I like watching them,” he joked.
Earlier this year, James' wife Ola, 37, gave birth to the couple's first child together after a long battle to conveive.
The professional dancer had also starred on the show from 2006 until 2015.
Although the couple have swapped their dancing shoes for parenthood, it hasn't stopped the professionals sharing their excitement of the BBC"s upcoming series.
During his chat with the publication, James explained that he wasn't surprised that Strictly is making a return - albeit with social distancing.
"It’s their flagship show and if people are allowed to go in pubs and shops, why can’t Strictly come back?" he said.
“That’s as long as they make it safe, which I’m sure they’ll find a way to do."
James was also convinced that ratings for the show would go up as there are plenty more people staying at home in front of the telly.
The Strictly star couple – who have been married since 2003 – became first time parents in February with the help of IVF treatment.
The dancer said he regretted pushing baby plans back as the couple pursued fame and work.
Since welcoming baby Ella earlier this year, the happy family appear to have gone from strength to strength and really adjusted to parenthood.
