The Diversity brothers talked about the challenges they face as parents, working in the public eye, and the guilt they experience in being away from their children.
Ashley and Jordan Banjo have revealed they suffer with ' dad guilt ' amid their ever-growing work schedules . The Diversity brothers have just completed their huge 100-day UK and Ireland tour, while Jordan has wrapped up filming for the next series of The Celebrity Apprentice .
It meant Ashley, 37, and Jordan, 33, had to be away from their children at times, which they both agreed was difficult to navigate. Ashley shares daughter Rose, seven, and son Micah, six, with his ex partner Francesca. Jordan and his wife Naomi Courts share sons Cassius, eight, Atreus, three, and a daughter Mayowa 'Mimi' Angel, six.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Ashley and Jordan said: 'I think dad guilt comes if you love someone, if you have to be away, you're gonna feel pulled, aren't you? Ashley and Jordan Banjo have revealed they suffer with 'dad guilt' amid their forever-growing work schedules 'And especially when your kids are relying on you and you're responsible for looking after them.
' Although Ashley and Jordan struggle with being away from their children, they said it teaches them to know how to work hard. Jordan added: 'It's nice that we have a job that's quite forward facing. The kids see that, even on the tour Ash's kids were on the show.
'They sort of picked what the theme was going to be for a certain scene and that's shown in them we do that. So it's nice the fact that they are so heavily invested.
' While some parents' dream is for their children to follow in their footsteps and go down a similar career path, Ashley hopes for the latter. Though he is supportive of whatever career his children choose in the future, Ashley shared he would rather his children avoid a career in the spotlight.
'I'd want them to be happy', Ashley said. 'But I also, if I had any steer, I would not advised them to necessarily go into what we're doing or being in the public eye necessarily. 'I'd love them to have a really solid trade and just know a real skill.
' He added: 'I think especially nowadays, with the rise of influencers and AI, if I had to give advice to my kids, it would be just learn a really good trade. ' Likewise, Jordan is supportive of whatever career path his children go down. He said: 'If you ask my son what he wants to do, he says,"I want to be a dancer, do radio, and also box". He just lists everything that he's seen us do.
Which is really nice.
'I want mine to be happy. They could try to go into dance, but I would say they inherited dance from their mum - it might be a slightly tougher task.
' He joked: 'All jokes aside, do whatever they want to do. I'll definitely never force them to be like,"You're dancing"'.
