Jordan Banjo won’t perform with Diversity until September after BGT performance delays recovery from major knee surgery

JORDAN Banjo won't perform with Diversity until September after his incredible BGT performance has delayed his recovery from major knee surgery.

The dancer and TV presenter has been suffering with a bad knee after having an operation earlier this year before hosting The Greatest Dancer.

He ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee during a previous Diversity show and only ditched his crutches shortly before The Greatest Dancer finale in February.

Still, the 26-year-old bravely performed with his injury during the BGT finals last night - but now his recovery has faced a set back.

Jordan's brother Ashley's wife Dani told The Sun Online: "Jordan didn’t need a hospital visit but he does have to rest the knee and continue with the strengthening and rehabilitation so he is ready for tour in September.

 "He probably will not be performing again until the tour."

Despite his injury, Jordan has been blown away by the support from fans after Diversity performed in the glittering finals where  89-year-old Army veteran Colin Thackery beat Jonathan Goodwin to be crowned winner of BGT.
On Instagram, he wrote: "Looking tired but that felt incredible with the team @diversity_official.
"10 years since we won @bgt and we came back with a bang🔥
"First time dancing properly in a year, knee is nowhere near healed and I’ve probably set myself back a couple months tbh but it was worth it. #Born ready.
