James and Ola Jordan 'lose 6 1/2 Stone in 6 seconds' as they reveal rapid weight loss

James and Ola Jordan have been showing off their recent weight loss once again.

The married couple took to Instagram on Boxing Day to invite their followers to watch them 'lose six and a half stone in six seconds', as they explained how they shed the weight in just a matter of weeks.

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 clear to see as they walked towards the camera in the same outfit before and after losing the weight - with Ola donning a 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 added: "If you want to follow the plan we used to do it - it’s a LOT of fun! - just click on the links in our bios or go to danceshred.co.uk."

Strictly professional Neil Jones was one of the many to comment on the inspiring video, writing: "Well done both of you. You look incredible it always impressed me how you both can make massive transformations."

Colin Jackson added: "You guys look amazing!!"

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.

James then acknowledged all the messages he received from people in 'similar positions' and went on to explain the changes.

They started exercising more, watching what they eat as well as controlling their portion sizes.

Ola revealed: "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. They then told followers to comment if they wanted to find out more.
