The pro damaged his ankle before last Saturday's waltz routine, but he carried on regardless and the pair topped the judges' leaderboard.
Writing on Twitter about his injury, Jordan said: "Can't walk right now! Oops.. Fell down a step onto my ankle. Then had to dance with Denise and do the pro dance."
He added later: "GOOD NEWS!!! Nothing broken....but I've been told it doesn't look good. But I know I'll be fine soon..!
"7 years on Strictly I've never missed a show or training through injury! This year my eye, nose and now ankle! I blame you @denise_vanouten."

Van Outen appeared unconcerned by Jordan's latest knock, joking that she'd be happy to get a new pro."I'm praying I get to dance with someone else next week," she wrote. "Be nice to have a break from you."
Judge Craig Revel Horwood said on last night's It Takes Two that he would happily step in for Jordan this weekend.
"I don't think [his ankle's] good. He was really limping after the show on Saturday night, so I was slightly concerned," Horwood told Zoe Ball. "I might have to fill in, darling!"
