Jordan wrote: “I’m currently in Spain and great news I’ve learnt to swim at 32 years old (yes I finally did it). 

“Feeling beyond confident I challenged my seven-year-old son to a race. He accepts, foolishly. 

“I tell him he can race normal, I’ll give him a head start and ONLY swim under water. 

“I end up swimming blind under water because obviously I don’t have goggles (why would I need them? I couldn’t swim until about 48 hours ago).”

Jordan continued: “In my panic of not wanting to lose and realising I haven’t quite mastered underwater technique, I fly full pelt, head first into the jagged side wall of the pool in front of about 25 spectators. 

“I come up for air, dizzy, head pounding and my son is already at the other side.”

Jordan also shared a photo of the graze on his head, with fans rushing to comment on the funny story. 

One wrote: “But 48hours ago you wouldn’t have been able to swim full pelt into anything.. you did that!”

Someone else said: “Congratulations on learning to swim. This has tickled me though, it’s one you will never live down with the family you know that right?”

And a third added: “Absolute liability!”
