Jordan Banjo has enjoyed not having to dance

Jordan Banjo has enjoyed not having the "pressure" to dance on ‘The Greatest Dancer’.
The Diversity star has admitted that it has been nice to co-present Simon Cowell’s BBC One show alongside Alesha Dixon and not have to take to the stage to perform and instead be a spectator.
He told What’s On TV: "Well, there hasn’t been any pressure on me to dance, which has been nice for once.
"At the auditions, I really enjoyed sitting with the friends and family of the acts and just watching loads of talented people dance."
The 26-year-old presenter – who won ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ with his brother Ashley Banjo and the rest of the street dance troupe in 2009 – says he has no idea who is going to win the first series of the show, which sees Cheryl Tweedy, Matthew Morrison and Oti Mabuse as judges.
He said: "Usually with these shows there’s a clear front-runner. But, even as a dancer myself, I really don’t know who’s gonna win!"
A decade has past since Diversity beat Susan Boyle to be crowned winner of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, and Jordan – who has been left with a number of injuries thanks to his dance career – can’t believe how quickly it’s gone by.
He said: "No! It’s crazy. It makes me feel old. I’m sat here, a couple of injuries deep, surgery on my knees, wondering what’s happened to me…"
Jordan – who is expecting his second child with partner Naomi Courts, with whom he already has eight-month-old Cassius – also gushed about his brother Ashley – who is currently a judge on ‘Dancing on Ice’ – and said to him he is the "greatest dancer".
Asked who is dancing hero is, he said: "He’ll probably hate me for saying this but that would have to be my brother Ashley.
"He’s helped me with everything from dancing to TV presenting to advising me on getting my first mortgage.
"Ash is a kid from Essex, who’s been teaching dance since he was 12 and who built Diversity from the ground up. For me, he’s the greatest dancer."
