‘Horrified and so disappoint­ed’

FOR close to a decade Ola Jordan dazzled viewers with high intensity routines on Strictly y Come Dancing.

But the dancer, 39, says she is now ‘horrified’ by her ‘mum bod’ after gaining weight since quitting the BBC show seven years ago.

Mrs Jordan showed the picture to her 300,000 online followers in an attempt to motivate herself to shed the pounds… leaving cynical l observers to ask if she’s about t to release an exercise video.

Posing in a pink bikini next t to her husband James, 44, 4, she wrote: ‘Hi guys, I wasn’t going to post this picture but I’ve decided to because I’m horrified and so disappoint­ed with myself and by posting it I’m hoping it will help motivate me to do something about it.

‘Our friend took this snap of us yesterday… but OMG ... it was a total shock to say the least! When did we get “mum and dad bods” ????’

She was later inundated with supportive messages. Mrs Jordan, who was on Strictly from 2006 to 2015 and featured on a Strictly inspired workout DVD, gave birth to daughter Ella in 2020 by caesarean section. Her husband was also a Strictly profession­al.
