James Jordan has recalled the gut-wrenching moment he saw his dad Alan have a seizure as he FaceTimed him in hospital.
The Dancing On Ice winner, 41, has been left heartbroken at not being able to visit his old man since his hospitalisation in March after suffering a number of seizures and a stroke.
And despite lockdown restrictions easing on the horizon, James revealed that he still won't be able to pay him a visit.
Speaking to Hello mag, James said: "Dad's not good. I was on FaceTime to him this morning and he had a seizure during our conversation and it is absolutely horrendous to see, so that really upset me today."
He added: "Yesterday he had around seven seizures and no one knows why... Today they're sending him for a MRI. I think there needs to be a lot more to be investigated to work out what's wrong, but I'm not a doctor."
James - who has been married to dancer Ola, 37, since 2003 - revealed that his dad's health problems have taken a toll on his mum Sharon.
He explained: "It's just really tough and my mum is really struggling at the moment and finding it really, really hard.
"She's been on the phone to him when he's had seizures as well. I mean, you see all of these people going to the beach right next to each other and they say they're going to open the shops, and yet my mum still can't go in and sit next to my dad when he's very sick in hospital? It's quite upsetting and frustrating."
And it seems as though James and Ola have recently had cause for concern more than usual, after their baby girl Ella fell ill - forcing them to make an urgent hospital dash amid lockdown.
The parents - who conceived their first child with the help of IVF - were initially hesitant to seek medical help due to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, but were left with no other choice.
The professional dance couple explained that they grew concerned when their bundle of joy, now 11-weeks-old, started making choking noises at the age of 5-weeks.
James recently explained that he and Ola dialled the NHS hotline 111 and after speaking to a telephone advisor an ambulance was sent to their home.
The loving parents then revealed that little Ella was diagnosed with silent reflux.
