Former Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jordan says his ulcerative colitis became so debilitating that he was unable to leave the house. He describes a period when medical staff considered more intensive treatment options due to how ill he was.
According to his account, doctors discussed fitting him with a colostomy bag at one point. The reports focus on Jordan’s personal description of symptoms and the seriousness of his condition, but provide limited detail about diagnosis timing, treatment course, or current status.
Across the two outlets, the core elements match: Jordan speaks publicly about the impact of ulcerative colitis on his daily life, and he recounts that clinicians raised the possibility of a colostomy. Both pieces frame the story as Jordan’s own disclosure rather than new medical reporting, with the emphasis on how severe the flare-up became at its worst.
