Just two weeks after welcoming their little girl, both Ola and James Jordan have taken parenthood in their stride. The new mum shared a heartwarming snap from their low-key walk on Instagram Stories on Thursday, showing James pushing their baby in her pushchair. "Daddy's life," she simply wrote across the image. The former Strictly Come Dancing stars, who have been married for 16 years, welcomed their daughter in February.

It seems that the couple are trying to make the most of their time together after James was forced to spend their first few days of their daughter's life at hospital. The professional dancer's dad Alan was rushed to hospital last week after he suffered a stroke – leaving James completely "heartbroken".

Earlier on in the week, James admitted he was "struggling" to cope with the pressure of looking after his ill father, newborn baby and his wife amid the ongoing coronavirus. "Trying to juggle a new born with wife who is still recovering, my dad in hospital and the coronavirus," he said. "I would like to think I'm a strong person but I'm going to admit it's the most stressful time of my life." He continued: "I'm still thinking of all of you. We must all stay safe AND #BeKind."
