James and Ola Jordan asked to drop 'obese' weight for medical treatment

James and Ola Jordan were asked to drop their weight to a "healthier size" if they wanted medical treatment.

The couple shared a snap of themselves poolside several months ago but admitted they were horrified to discover they had developed "mum and dad bodies." The weight gain comes after they welcomed their first child, Ella, back in 2020 during the pandemic.

Following an unhappy response, the lifelong dancers shed the weight by getting back into the studio and following a rigorous health programme. James and Ola shot to fame as professionals on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, joining simultaneously in 2006 before calling it quits in 2013 and 2015 respectively.
