Strictly Come Dancing’s James Jordan has said that he is sure to win when he takes part in BBC’s celebrity Total Wipeout.

“I would rather die than lose. I am so sure I will be in the top three, I’ll bet my house and even Ola [Jordan, wife] on it,” he told the Daily Star. “I should win. I love sport and have done anything from motorbiking to bungee jumping to wakeboarding.

"Dancers don't tend to do things like that because they're worried they'll break their legs but I say you only live once."
