Ola and James Jordan flooded with commercial offers after candid weight gain post

Ola Jordan and James Jordan have opened up recently about gaining weight since leaving Strictly Come Dancing – prompting commercial fitness offers for the pair.

The couple, 44 and 39 respectively, had candidly spoken about putting on weight in recent years – including during an appearance on Loose Women which aired last week.

It came after Ola, who left the BBC show in 2015, told fans that she feels 'disappointed' in her physique, which she said is the result of having a baby and doing less dancing.

The professional dancers – who welcomed daughter Ella, now two, into the world in 2020 – have also revealed that their respective weight gains have affected their sex life.

Such comments by the couple however have prompted some people to speculate that they will end up releasing a workout video within the coming months.

Predicting that they will be working on a workout project, one person said in a post on social media: "I'd bet my house that there's a Christmas 'fitness video' from these two."

Another person responded to recent stories about Ola and Jordan: "Cue couples fitness video to shed the fat and earn them thousands." A third said: "Fitness DVD incoming."

"I can feel an exercise and diet app coming just ready for January," said one person recently, whilst another asked: "Does this mean a fitness DVD is on the way?"

Another said: "I bet she has a weight loss DVD coming out for Xmas." Similarly, another speculated: "Couples workout DVD this Christmas. Love weight and spice up your love life."

"Well I'm sure there will be a DVD out for Christmas on how to lose 3 stone," said another. Another said: "Give it 6 months and she will have lost all the weight and be selling a fitness DVD."

Their representative confirmed to the Mirror that they have been approached with fitness opportunities, but said that no commercial deals have been signed by the couple.

Their rep said: "We have actually been approached by various people wanting to work with James and Ola to help them lose the weight since she posted her bikini photo on Instagram.

"But they want to confirm that they have not signed any commercial deals to lose weight and feel very strongly that if they decide to get in shape at some time in the future, as ex-professional dancers, they have the knowledge and experience to do it their own way.

"They have been so delighted with the support of their followers and will of course keep them updated via Instagram."

Ola said on Loose Women recently: "I had an amazing body when I was on Strictly. [...] Coming to the realisation that it's not the same and [it won't be] anymore, it's really hard."

James – who left Strictly in 2013 – noted that they no longer training for 10 hours a day and revealed he has put on three stone since he departed the popular BBC dance show.
