Jordan Banjo is set to become a father for the first time.

The Diversity dancer - the younger brother of dancing legend Ashley Banjo - has announced that he and his girlfriend Naomi Ella are expecting a baby boy together.
Speaking to OK! magazine, Naomi said: "We weren't trying so I was sure it was going to be negative. I wanted to be sure so I went out and bought eight more tests. I sat
with them all laid out in front of me on the bathroom floor, staring at them in
disbelief. We always said we wanted kids together, we just didn't think it
would happen this soon. We're over the moon, though! ...
"I started crying when they said it was a boy because I was completely convinced we were having a girl. I was delighted it was a boy but I felt very overwhelmed, as I'd mentally prepared myself for it to be a daughter."
And the pregnancy has been tough on Naomi so far as she was signed off work for 10 weeks with extreme morning sickness and could barely keep water down.
She explained: "I was signed off work for ten weeks with hyperemesis gravidarum. It
felt like I was spending every minute of the day throwing up - I couldn't even
keep a glass of water down. The doctor gave me loads of different anti-
sickness tablets but they didn't make a difference. It's only in the past few
weeks that I've started to feel more normal."
The 24-year-old hunk has been dating Naomi since 2015 after they met at the Essex hotspot Sugar Hut in 2013 but he's got no plans to pop the question just yet.
He said: "People ask me all the time when I'm going to propose and it does feel like there's a bit of pressure on me, but the baby is giving us enough to think about."
