BBC Strictly stars Ola and James Jordan share six and a half stone weight loss transformation

Former Strictly Come Dancing stars Ola and James Jordan have revealed the secret to losing six-and-a-half stone.

In July, Ola shared a photo of herself and James by a swimming pool. In the picture, Ola wore a pink bikini while James donned beige swim shorts.

However, in the post's caption, Ola spoke about being "horrified and so disappointed" with herself. She said: "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’ ????

"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!!!"

But five months on, Ola revealed she and James have lost six and a half stone. Uploading a video to Instagram, Ola and James wore the same swimming attire to show off their transformations.

Ola said: "Hey watch us lose 6 1/2 Stone in 6 seconds! It took a bit longer than that in reality - four months in total. Although the first two weeks were quite dramatic.

"We lost two 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."

Ola said her weight loss was due to her and James' new Dance Shred fitness plan, which combines dancing with a workout routine.
