Former Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jordan has shared his candid thoughts about experiencing a midlife crisis following his split from partner and fellow dancer Ola. Speaking in the trailer for his new podcast, Manopause with Brendan Cole, James detailed his new chapter in life, revealing that he is currently struggling.

'I'm going through a midlife crisis. The last few years, for me, have been really tough. I'm not afraid to admit it. I put my hands up and say I'm struggling with life at the minute. So many different things, with career choices, waking up and not having purpose, things like that,' he expressed. 'Manopause is for the middle-aged man that's struggling a little bit and hopefully we're going to be able to help ourselves and help you at the same time.'

The former couple were Strictly's longest-standing pair, spending 26 years together. They started dating in 1999 and married in 2003, before announcing their separation via a joint statement earlier this month.

James appeared to promote his new podcast alongside Brendan Cole. The pair share a 6-year-old daughter, Ella.
