JAMES and Ola Jordan have shared a health update on their daughter Ella amid fears she has a hole in her heart.
The former Strictly dancers were left worried after their only child was rushed to hospital before Christmas.
Ella, three, had a high temperature and was admitted after a dash to A&E, before later being diagnosed with pneumonia.
She has become susceptible to picking up chest infections and colds - with medics now thinking they've discovered why.
James and Ola revealed to Hello magazine that doctors fear Ella has a hole in her heart.

Ola explained: "Ella was first diagnosed with a heart murmur a couple of years ago.
"Then, just before her second birthday, she was at the hospital and the doctor said: 'I'm not sure about her heart; there’s a little hole that needs to be double checked with another doctor.'"
James continued: "We were told that if she does have a hole in the heart, they can’t do anything until she’s older and stronger, so they suggested we wait."
Recalling their December hospital dash, Ola said: "It was horrendous watching them put the cannula in Ella’s arm, with nurses all around and James having to hold her in a bear hug.
"As a parent you feel so helpless with your child so ill. I stayed overnight in the hospital with Ella because only one parent was allowed, even though James also wanted to stay."
Thankfully Ella made a full recovery and was able to get home in time for Christmas.
James left Strictly Come Dancing in 2014 after joining the show in 2006, while Ola appeared from from 2006 to 2015.
The couple first met in 1999 and married in 2004, before welcoming their daughter a few years ago.
