James Jordan's father has brain tumour

James Jordan\'s father has been diagnosed with a brain tumour.

The \'Strictly Come Dancing\' professional - who recently welcomed daughter Ella into the world with his wife Ola Jordan - is "totally broken" after finding out his dad has an aggressive cancerous tumour.

He wrote on Instagram: "This video is the most precious and personal thing I have in my life right now and I\'m going to share it with you but with a totally broken heart ... Over the last 4 months my hero and best mate in the whole world has been in and out of hospital with very ill health. We were told several times that 100 per cent he had had a stroke and that\'s why they were struggling to control his seizures... but after the third time of being admitted to hospital I knew something was not quite right ... It was what I had dreaded, my dad has a tumour and after having a biopsy it\'s come back that it\'s an aggressive cancerous one. The worst kind unfortunately. We have been told that it\'s not advisable to operate because of where the tumour is and wouldn\'t actually make that much difference even if they could. The end result is, it\'s terminal."

And James admits this is the "worst time" of his life, and is desperately asking fans to help him find someone to give a second opinion.

In the lengthy post, he added: "As I write this tears are streaming down my face as I\'m sure many of you have the same love for your parents. This is honestly the worst time of my life. I\'m posting this and writing to you now as I want to get a second opinion on my father, especially because they misdiagnosed him for the first 4 months which doesn\'t fill us with confidence. So now myself and my family are actually hoping they are wrong this time. I\'m looking to find the best surgeon to see my father as I want to know I\'ve done everything possible before I can accept it. My heart is broken ... Please DM me if you can help (sic)"
