Jordan Banjo feared his six-year-old son was vaping after looking through his school bag. The Britain’s Got Talent star had a heart-in-mouth moment after spotting something inside the bag.
The 31-year-old was checking six-year-old son Cassius’s bag to see what homework needed to be done when he saw an item that resembled a £4.49 Crystal Bar vape. The dad-of-three, who played a vital part in Diversity’s third-series win of BGT, was left shocked.
Jordan – brother of fellow Diversity dancer Ashley – said: “Can you imagine the fear I went through? I thought it was game over. I was going through my child’s bookbag, checking their homework and looking at what we’ve got to do.
“I found this and genuinely thought, hand on heart, that my six-year-old had a crystal vape in his bag. I was like ‘Is my six-year-old smoking strawberry ice at school?’
Turns out it’s just a pen.”
The ball-point can be purchased online for around £2.99. Parents across the UK were left dumbfounded by its resemblance to a vape. Tina said: “Yeah, I thought the same at first glance.”
Ashleigh added: “My heart would have sank, I’d have thought the same thing.” nother said: “Thank God it’s a pen.”
One other added: “They make these to be attractive to kids. The manufacturers should be fined massively.”
Naomi added: “Checking what we got to do.” Jordan and wife Naomi Courts are also parents to Mayowa, four and Atreus, 22 months.
