James Jordan has revealed that his father has suffered another stroke.
The former Strictly star, 42, took to Twitter on Monday to announce the news just weeks after his dad Alan was admitted to hospital with his first stroke.
James also urged doctors to get in touch with his anxious mother, Sharon, who has been without an update all weekend and is unable to visit Alan due to lockdown.

In the last few weeks the dancer’s father has suffered two strokes, coronavirus and cellulitis.
James tweeted: ‘NEED SOME HELP! Unfortunately my dad suffered another stroke and was emitted to MAIDSTONE HOSPITAL on Friday.
‘I am aware the staff are very busy and consultants don’t work weekends but could someone please call my mum with an update because she is going out of her mind #please.’
He added: ‘My dad is unable to communicate or understand anything so can’t call us himself and my mum has been trying to talk to a doctor since Friday.

‘I now worry for my mums mental health and the rest of my family are struggling with anxiety including myself please call us.
‘I understand this is very difficult times for everyone and that the NHS are doing a brilliant job.
‘However, because family can’t be with their loved ones in hospital they should be giving regular updates to families who are struggling at home with insane worry and anxiety please.’
James revealed later on Monday that the hospital had finally got in touch and that his father had ‘gone downhill’ and would be having a scan.

In April, James revealed that his father tested positive for coronavirus whilst in hospital recovering from his first stroke.
The former Strictly star’s dad Alan was admitted to hospital in March after suffering a stroke, mere weeks after James welcomed his first child with wife Ola Jordan.
Whilst Alan was able to leave hospital for a brief period, he was readmitted in April with an infection in his arm, and since tested positive for COVID-19.
Taking to Twitter James penned at the time: ‘Just when you think things couldn’t get any worse! After being in hospital for nearly 2 weeks after his stroke my dad has now tested positive to coronavirus.

‘He is also fighting an infection he recently got in his arm (Cellulitis) God, please give my dad a break #StayAtHome.’
He added: ‘My dad has always been my hero. When I spoke to him he was more worried about my mum, sister & family. He kept saying ‘Don’t worry about me, I’ve got this’.
‘The sad thing is today he was supposed to be transferred to another hospital where he would have a TV. He was so excited’.

In March, James confessed he was struggling to cope during what had been the ‘most stressful time of my life’.
He tweeted: ‘Trying to juggle a new born with wife who is still recovering, my dad in hospital and the coronavirus.
‘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. I’m still thinking of all of you! We must all stay safe AND #BeKind’.

James was born in Gillingham, Kent and grew up in the Medway area. His mum Sharon worked in a bank, while his father Alan worked as a site manager for a power station.
In February, Ola and James become parents for the first time after the former Strictly Come Dancing star gave birth to a baby girl called Ella.
The professional dancer and her husband of almost 17 years announced the happy news via Instagram.
The new mother shared a sweet snap holding her little one’s hand, and gushed in the caption: ‘She’s here and she is perfect.’
James also took to Instagram to share a snap of their baby girl, as he held onto her feet and said: ‘I’m the happiest man in the world.’
The couple, who have been together for 20 years, announced they were expecting their first child in September 2019 after a painful three-year battle with infertility.
