James Jordan skated to success as he was crowned Dancing on Ice Champion 2019.

The Gillingham-born star has consistently topped the show's leader board, so it is no wonder he and his partner were judged this year's King and Queen of the ice.

James, who now lives with wife Ola in West Malling, performed two technical and daring routines and impressed the judges.

He and skating partner Alexandra Schauman performed the Bolero, inspired by the show's judges Torvill and Dean's iconic 1984 Winter Olympics gold medal performance.

The pressure was on as James competed against fellow high scorers Wes Nelson of Love Island fame and X Factor finalist and Eurovision contestant Sara Alto.

But being no stranger to live performances, as James danced on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing for 9 years, he came out on top.

James earlier managed to shrug off an apparent injury sustained during rehearsals to dazzle the Dancing on Ice judges and the voting viewers.
