Former Strictly dancer James Jordan says he "absolutely s*** himself" when he was pulled over by police today as he joked about his brush with the law.

Medway-born James was out driving when he was stopped by officers, one of whom he called "annoyingly good looking".

In a video to his 250,000 Instagram fans, the 44-year-old said: "So I've just been pulled over by the police because apparently somebody is using my number plate on my car.

"They just blue-lighted me, I absolutely s*** myself."

The star had spent the morning getting a bit of car maintenance sorted.

"Brought the car in for a nice little polish, looking spick and span," he told his followers.

His day took an eventful turn though, with his next video showing an officer checking the dancer's driving licence.

He gave the full story in his next video, as he made light of the situation.

"So that was fun, and for anyone that has been pulled over by the police before, I've been pulled over quite a few times I'm not going to lie, you always question yourself.

"They both surrounded the car so I was 'Oh no, what have I done?'

"But they were actually really nice and he was annoyingly good looking and young so I didn't like him at all."

Officers could be heard telling James to put a bit of tape on his licence plate so police could see which car was the real deal and stop them from pulling him over again.

But James decided against this, saying: "I've got OCD, I'm not having black tape on the corner of my number plate, thank you very much."

James has been keeping busy in the county. Earlier this month, he was seen enjoying a spot of dinner at the luxury Cave Hotel in Boughton, near Faversham.

He lives in Sevenoaks with his wife Ola, a fellow dancer.
