Ola Jordan has been inundated with support after she shared a bikini-clad snap with her husband James and admitted she felt ‘horrified’ and ‘shocked’ at her ‘mum bod’.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star, 39, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a picture of herself and her husband, 44, soaking up the sun by their swimming pool.
She put on a vibrant display in a hot-pink two-piece as she cosied up to her dancer husband James, who went shirtless in a pair of cream boardshorts.

Ola, who appeared on the BBC dance contest from 2006 to 2015, showed off her natural good looks and styled her golden tresses in a straight fashion.
In a caption, the British-Polish ballroom dancer candidly admitted she felt ‘horrified’ and ‘disappointed’ at her ‘mum bod’, saying she was posting the snap to ‘motivate’ herself.
She penned: ‘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 trying to stay cool by the pool but OMG… it was a total shock to say the least! When did we get ‘mum and dad bods’ ????

Family: Ola and James – who starred as a Strictly professional from 2006 to 2013 – tied the knot back in 2003 and welcomed their first child Ella, now two, together in 2020
‘We know we’re not in our best Strictly shape but hey that’s what happens when you stop dancing for hours every day and have a baby (I just want to know James’ excuse)
‘Stay cool everyone. I think I need to avoid the ice cream for a while!!! Couples That Eat Together Stay Together ❤️ @jamesjordan1978.’
Her celebrity pals were quick to flock to the comments to send her words of support, gushing that she looks ‘stunning’ and ‘gorgeous’ and urging her to go easy on herself.
Love Island star Laura Anderson said: ‘Stunning as always ola you were always my strictly inspo watching for years, so beautiful and talented and trust me you still are.
‘Enjoy your food booze and family time it’s way more fun than keeping up a six pack let’s be honest.’

Struggles: Ella was conceived after one round of IVF, with Ola and James previously being incredibly open about their battle to have a child
Ola and James – who starred as a Strictly professional from 2006 to 2013 – tied the knot back in 2003 and welcomed their first child Ella together in 2020.
Ella, now two, was conceived after one round of IVF, with Ola and James previously being incredibly open about their battle to have a child.
Last year, Ola said she would have prioritised starting a family earlier if she knew she would struggle to fall pregnant.
She told The Sun: ‘You don’t think you’re going to have to go through IVF until it doesn’t happen for a long time and you go ‘right there’s a problem, we need to look into it’.’
‘So I suppose I would try earlier. But then we had a career, we were doing things, we were busy. I suppose you’re never ready but I definitely would (have tried earlier) if I knew I was going to struggle to get pregnant.’

Ola said her and James were both focused on their careers, saying: ‘You have to pick between something like Strictly or having a family, unfortunately.’
The star said she would have been unable to do Strictly – which she starred on from 2006-2015 – with a baby as the BBC show is a ‘six or seven month’ commitment and she did not have anyone to look after her child.
The couple are hoping to have another child, with Ola recently telling Ok! magazine: ‘Yeah. I would love to have another baby.
‘We’re not thinking about another baby yet though. I’d love Ella to have a sibling – more for her than anything. She’s quite hard work at the moment, so I can’t imagine it but yeah, we would love to have more.’

Elsewhere, it was reported last month that Ola and James had put their five-bedroom Sevenoaks mansion up for sale for a whopping £2.5million.
The long-time couple are selling the sprawling detached property which boasts stunning countryside views and an outdoor swimming pool.
Other features of the house include a spacious home cinema, gym, a modern kitchen and manicured gardens – perfect for busy family life.
Upon entry to the stunning family home, the new owners will be greeted by the spacious hallway which opens into the open plan kitchen/dining area with bi folding doors out on to the sunny garden.
Next is the double aspect lounge which also benefits from bi-folding doors that lead onto the unique entertaining garden terrace that runs the width of the house.
The main focal point of the downstairs area is the kitchen which features modern white appliances and lots of natural light.
The main upstairs area also features a stunning master bedroom with plush interiors and lots of potential for decorating and for the new owners to put their stamp on the design features.
The home offers easy access to the M20 and the London Victoria trainline with the nearest station being Borough Green & Wrotham.
