Ola Jordan 'walks around naked all the time' after weight loss, says husband

James Jordan says his wife Ola "walks around naked all the time" after her 3.5st weight loss.

The former Strictly pros and parents of one lost a combined 6.5 stone thanks to a lifestyle overhaul, with Ola admitting she became a 'shell of her former self' after gaining weight during the lockdown.

Since then, Ola, 40, has shared hilarious videos of herself cleaning the kitchen and doing the shopping in her underwear, but James, 44, says she walks around the house with not a stitch on her.

Speaking at the Together for Short Lives Ball, a charity fundraiser, James joked to the Mirror and other press: "She walks around naked all the time."

Ola added: "I turned 40 in September and I didn't want to turn 40 and be unhealthy and not happy. I wasn't looking forward to it, but then when I lost a bit of weight, when I turned 40 I was like 'yep I'm happy now'."

The dancer she was glad to have taken before and after snaps, adding: "Some of the pictures I see of myself I'm like, 'Oh my God. I actually was quite big'."

Earlier this month, Ola joked she had been shopping in lingerie, as she wore nothing but a white lace bodysuit.

The hilarious clip saw the gorgeous TV star returning home with several shopping bags, as her husband, James, poked fun at her newfound confidence.

Ola looked incredible as she modelled a one-piece featuring sheer panel detailing.

"Where have you been?' James asks as he meets Ola at the door in the risqué video.

"Shopping" she declares before James replies: "You've got to start putting clothes on, people get it, well done, you've lost weight, but you've got to start putting clothes on it's getting boring."

Ola went from a size 14 to a size eight in just four months after discovering that her health was at risk due to her weight.

She admitted that she desperately longed for her former dancer body and doubted if she would ever feel 'sexy' again after welcoming her first child in 2020 and gaining weight during the pandemic.

The couple cut down their calorie intake significantly, with James eating only 1,900 calories a day, while Ola topped hers at 1,500.

While James would have Nutella and banana pancakes for breakfast, his wife often opted for avocado on toast.

For lunch on most days, James opted for an omelette while Ola made it a ritual to have a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich on brown bread.

For dinner every evening, James and Ola would both opt for some variation of fish with lots of vegetables - skipping on the carbs for their final meal of the day.

The pair have previously admitted they were encouraged to lose weight after having a 'wake-up call' when they shared an 'unflattering' picture of themselves in swimsuits this summer.
