Former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancers James and Ola Jordan have made the most of their time off of the popular BBC dance show.
As they attended charity fundraiser, the Together For Short Lives ball, earlier this month, the dancing duo revealed they were “much happier now” following their new fitness journey.
“On a show like Strictly, you’re burning so many calories, you’re ten years younger and at different stages of your lives,” James exclusively told us.

“Life gets in the way and we thought this is just going to be us but we put our heart and soul into it,” he added. “We wanted to get back in shape and feel better now,”

“Ola especially says she feels so much happier now,” he said on behalf of his wife and fellow dancer.
Ola then gave us her own fitness testimony, claiming that she didn’t realise how “big” she’d become and that friends didn’t notice until she’d lost it.
“We used to hide,” Ola confessed. “I’d cover up all the time and not wear skimpy things. Some of the pictures I see of myself I’m like, ‘Oh my God. I actually was quite big’.”

“I turned 40 in September and I didn’t want to turn 40 and be unhealthy and not happy,” she admitted. “I wasn’t looking forward to it, but then when I lost a bit of weight, when I turned 40 I was like ‘yep I’m happy now’.”
“She walks around naked all the time now,” James cheekily quipped.
In one example, a clip shared by the couple shows Ola returning from a shopping trip wearing just a tiny white lingerie bodysuit.

As James greets her at the door, he can be heard jokingly saying: “Where have you been? You’ve got to start putting clothes on, people get it, well done, you’ve lost weight, but you’ve got to start putting clothes on it’s getting boring.”
