Former Strictly Come Dancing professional Ola Jordan said she was "pretending to be happy" before her impressive 3.5 stone weight loss.
Ola, 40, stunned fans with her sensational figure after sharing a before and after photo in the same green bikini, following her transformation. The professional dancer told fans her "confidence is just next level" after shedding 49lbs.
Husband James Jordan also showed off his trim physique alongside his wife in a social media post where the couple asked their followers to watch them "lose six and a half stone in six seconds". The couple went onto explain that the weight didn't come off that easily, and it took them a few months through exercise and healthy eating.
"I can’t quite believe that was me a few months ago!" she wrote on Instagram after the reveal. "As you know I wasn’t happy, although I tried to pretend that I was. All I can say is these days I’m not turning down invitations to go out any more. My confidence is just next level now."
Speaking earlier this month, the couple 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.
Both sharing the same post online on Monday, the couple's weight loss was obvious to the eye as they walked towards the camera in the same outfit before and after losing the weight. Ola donned a stunning pink bikini and James shirtless in nothing but a pair of cream shorts.
"Hey watch us lose 6 1/2 Stone in 6 seconds!" James and Ola began with their message to their fans on Instagram.
"It took a bit longer than that in reality - four months in total. Although the first two weeks were quite dramatic. We lost 2 Stone between us in a fortnight. Pretty crazy eh?! But we had a lot to lose and you always lose more in the first couple of weeks."
The couple have previously spoken candidly about their weight loss - admitting an unflattering snap of themselves wearing swimwear was the motivation behind their transformation.
"We've come on here today just to have a little chat with you, because so many people have commented and noticed that myself and Ola have lost a considerable amount of weight, which we have and we're very proud of and very happy about it," James, 44, began as the two sat on the couch for a video update online last week.
"Since Ola posted that unflattering picture back in the summer, we have both shifted a lot of timber."
Ola, 40, continued: "I think we both needed that wake-up call and realisation where we'd got ourselves to. We needed to change our ways and be healthy for Ella. We needed to keep healthy for her."
James added: "Because we were unhealthy. We went to the doctor and were both told we were in the obese category. Which for us as professional dancers, to be told that you're obese wasn't very nice."
Ola said it was a 'hard pill' for them to swallow. She added: "We still have our treats and still eat what we want but essentially you have to look at the whole picture."
"We've found a really fun way to lose weight," added James at the end of the video.
