Diversity's Jordan Banjo leaves Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard open-mouthed as he yanks down jeans in middle of This Morning interview to show off new tattoo
Diversity's Jordan Banjo left Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard shocked when he yanked down his jeans in the middle of an interview. Britain's Got Talent street dance troupe member Jordan, 32, featured on the ITV daytime show alongside co-stars Ashley Banjo, 36, and Perry Kiely, 29. Reflecting on their early career when the group won the talent competition back in 2009, Ashley commented how 'it's crazy what our bodies used to do'. During the conversation, dancer Jordan stood up to show off his new tattoo on his leg. Co-hosts Cat and Ben watched on, looking surprised, as he unzipped his jeans and pulled them down to reveal the ink. The trio revealed they had recently started a new podcast together called 'Brothers Uncovered'. The dance group, Diversity, on ITV programme Britain's Got Talent back in 2009 which they won Jordan's tattoo featured the name of the venture and he explained how during an episode he was dared to get a tattoo or hold a snake. 'My options were to hold a Boa constrictor for 30 seconds or get a tattoo of the podcast logo without knowing whether it would be successful or not,' he shared. He then offered to reveal the new ink and said: 'It's on my leg, I will show you it if you want?' Cat was eager to see the tattoo and called: 'Get it out, get it out!' The dancer apologised, 'I don't mean this in a weird way, I'm so sorry I have to undo these,' as he unfastened his jeans. Cat joked: 'We didn't choose the snake did we?' Jordan quipped back: 'It's never been called that before!' He then revealed his tattoo, which was just below his knee and read 'Brothers Uncovered'. The trio explained how their new podcast was 'based loosely around the game Would You Rather'. Jordan appeared on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here back in 2016 and the all stars version in 2023. He opened up to MailOnline last year all about the numerous moments he'd sooner forget, including when Carol Vorderman was forced to listen to him poo. Jordan said viewers would be surprised with just how small the camp is, leaving the celebs with almost no privacy. Speaking on behalf of SKY's new voice command feature said: 'It's awkward, when you're busting for the loo and Carol Vorderman is three foot away brushing her teeth, it's always going to be awkward, but you've just got to embrace it'. 'You've got the dunny, and literally theres a cloth in front of you and the other side of that cloth, a couple of feet is where everyone is brushing their teeth, it's not ideal'.
