They were one of the most famous partners ever to have waltzed across the Strictly dance floor having performed alongside some of the biggest names in showbiz.
Ola and James Jordan became one of the UK’s most glamorous couples after Polish stunner Ola moved to England and began a new partnership with James Jordan.
In 2018, Ola became a judge on Dancing with the Stars in Poland and boosted her spotlight here at home when she appeared on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and The Jump.

But life away from Strictly has brough it’s fair share of ups and downs for the stars.
From finding themselves homeless at Christmas, a terrifying hospital dash with their 2-year-old daughter and steamy sex confessions, let’s take a closer look at the gorgeous pair…
Homeless at Christmas

They may be used to VIP treatment but the pair found themselves on the opposite end of the spectrum after they were left homeless following a run-in with a ‘very rude’ landlord.
James and Ola were left desperately searching for somewhere to live in the run up to Christmas after the former Strictly Come Dancing professionals had been on the hunt for a rental property to live in for six months before moving into their new home.
After attending a viewing for a temporary home with their two-year-old daughter, Ella, James revealed they got more than they bargained for in a meeting with a potential landlord.

Taking to his Instagram Stories to express his horror after the experience, James wrote: “We are currently in the process of moving and need to move into rented accommodation for about six months. We found a rental property we liked and went this morning to meet the landlord.
“I have never been spoken to so rudely! Especially in front of Ola and Ella. It was almost like it was a setup. I hope no-one out there has experienced this with a landlord. He spoke down to us from the minute I shook his hand.”
He went on to say plead with the public for a home ahead of the holidays.
“Currently homeless. Anyone want to take Ola, Ella and myself for Christmas?” he added.
Daughter’s hospital dash

The pair received the fright of their lives after their sweet daughter Ella was rushed to hospital.
The now two-year-old tot was admitted to hospital with a suspected virus and chest infection back in February after they found her limp and unresponsive in her bed.
On top of being seriously unwell, Ella has also been diagnosed with a heart murmur and she suffered an allergic reaction which saw her lips swell up.
“It’s been an awful time. It started off as a really bad cough.

“We woke up in the morning and Ella was limp. Non-moving, non-responsive, and she started throwing up and she just lay there,” James told Hello! Magazine.
Ola also added: “Ola: She was throwing up with her eyes closed. Her little body was just limp. I can’t believe what she was like.
The great news is that the scan showed she had an Innocent Flow Murmur, which is quite common in children.
“If your child isn’t sick, you may never know about it. It’s something a lot of children have but isn’t necessarily dangerous,” said James.
“The doctor told us not to worry, he’s checked the whole heart and everything is normal. We’re relieved as we were really stressed about that.”
The tot was also rushed to the doctors with a terrible ear infection, which saw her suffer from temporary hearing loss.

Ola and James have been fairly open about their sex life and what goes on behind closed doors.
The loved-up pair previously admitted that they had a hot and steamy moment in their Strictly Come Dancing dressing room while they appeared on the BBC show.
In 2016, the couple were asked where was the naughtiest place they’ve engaged in sex.
Talking frankly Ola told new! magazine: “Er… the Strictly dressing room! Did I just say that? Nooo! The BBC won’t be happy but there you go.”

Adding more insight into the incident, James claimed late Strictly host Bruce Forsyth was also “next door” at the time of their steamy romp.
But despite their once active sex life, the pair have since admitted that gaining some weight has caused their passion to fade after leaving the spotlight.
The couple shared a filter-free picture back in August of their “mum and dad bods”, with the pair having gone up a good few sizes since their TV days.

James admitted he wished his wife was skinnier, and Ola revealed their sex life has suffered because their “bellies get in the way”.
James and Ola — who were on Strictly between 2006 and 2015 — say they are as shocked as the fans to see how their looks have changed.
Ola has gone from 8st to 11½st, while James has put on a whopping 5st and is now 16st.

But it didn’t stop them sharing the snap, which showed the once perfectly honed pair standing by the pool at their Kent home in their swimwear, captioned: “Couples That Eat Together Stay Together”.
James added that: “Sex is definitely not better with the mum and dad bods. I can’t throw her about any more like I am used to doing.
“So we realise we need to switch up our eating habits to get back in shape.
“I would love to hold Ola over my head again.”
