James and Ola Jordan share 'exciting family news' after drastic weight loss

Ola and James Jordan are putting exciting plans in place to celebrate their daughter's first ever birthday party.

Ella, who will be turning three in February, will finally be able to enjoy a proper bash with her pals after her first two birthdays were in lockdown.

The couple, who have been concerned about her health lately and arranged her to have her hearing tested, said that they want her party to be special.

Ola said: "I'm a bit nervous about organising it because it's pressure, isn't it? You want it to be nice. We've booked the venue; now we need to plan the food and everything else."

James said that Ella has been struggling with a cough for a while now and has started "clearing her throat all the time".

His concerned wife went on to tell HELLO magazine that they are worried she might have a health issue as it's always at its worst in the morning.

"We were worried about her hearing recently but it's actually better this week. It's still not great but it's considerably better.

"I test her a lot when she's got her back to me and she's definitely started to hear more of what I say," James said.

They have booked her in for an appointment with a private doctor to see if they can get to the bottom of what could be going on.

Having two parents that are so invested in health and wellbeing, Ella often enjoys joining in with their 15 minute home workouts.

Ola said that Ella enjoys doing bunny hops and burpees in their Dance Shred videos.

The couple lost six and a half stone combined in four months with their fitness plan after they were told they were "obese" by doctors.

Ola, 40, said she was "huge" and "needed a wake up call" after she found herself avoiding a party over fears her clothes wouldn't fit.

Speaking on Lorraine, James, 44, said: "Ella is an IVF baby and we were told that we are in the obese category.

"Ola is 5ft3 and was nearly 12st so we were in the obese category and we were told if we want another baby, we had to lose weight."

His wife added: "It was huge and I was huge! I needed a wake up call and I was hiding a lot and not taking pictures with Ella on holiday.

"There was a party, I didn't want to dress myself and James went without me and I sat on the sofa with a glass of wine and posted it. I wasn't myself, it was really hard."
