Former Strictly Come Dancing stars James and Ola Jordan show off their weight loss transformation – see their before and after photos here
January 02, 2023 - 11:42 GMT Sophie Hamilton HELLO!'s celebrity columnists James and Ola Jordan of Strictly Come Dancing fame have stunned fans by losing a huge six stone in weight between them and Ola dropping four dress sizes.Ola, 40, and James, 44, had previously shared their body woes with us, detailing their joint struggles to keep trim after welcoming their daughter Ella, age two. Their turning point came after Ola shared a holiday pool photo and opened up about their weight battle.
Ola: You relax a bit, don’t you? I put on a lot of weight during pregnancy and it was hard to drop it afterwards. Then we had the lockdowns… James: We like exercising together. We always used to go to the gym together, so we chose not to go separately. It was unhealthy and we didn’t feel great. I couldn’t even do my shoelaces up without sitting down. That’s really worrying, isn’t it? I couldn’t lift my leg up!
The truth was, whilst I was overjoyed to be a mum, I was very unhappy with the way I looked and whilst I was smiling on the outside, I was struggling with my size.What made you change your ways? James: We got to a stage where we looked at each other and went, ‘Really?’ Ola always said she wanted to be one of the fit mums picking Ella up from school. But we weren’t – we were both fat, and I know that sounds really bad, but we were both very unhealthy.
James: We changed our lifestyle. We started eating healthier and looked at how many calories we ate in a day. There are a certain amount of calories that you’re meant to eat – if you eat more than that, you’ll put on weight and if you eat less then you’ll lose weight. It’s not rocket science, but you have to dedicate yourself to it. And you can still eat nice food.
Ola still has a couple of glasses of Prosecco, and you can still lose weight. I enjoy eating healthier food more now that I’ve cut out all the junk food and sugar. I enjoy eating salmon fillets and broccoli. Ola: And to be honest with you, we eat everything. I’m not cutting any food groups out. Nowadays you get all kinds of fad diets, but I’d say I eat everything.
Ola: And you can do it on your own so you don't need to feel self conscious, just got for it! It’s not partnered dancing. You’ve got Cha Cha Cha on there, Samba, Salsa, Disco… We did two shows this December and I was able to fit in my dancing costumes again which felt so good. It’s just nice to be back to ourselves. We are not trying to be something we are not, we just wanted to get back to our old selves.
James: It’s like me with smoking. Once you get to a certain point, you’ve cracked it. That’s it. This is more of a lifestyle change. I’m not telling people to educate themselves on it, but we educated ourselves on it James: Ella has these Polish breadsticks which are amazing. We still have a little bit of chocolate here and there or a biscuit.
