Ola and James Jordan accused of 'faking' weight loss pictures by trolls

Ola and James Jordan have angered fans with their recent weight loss, with some even going as far to unfollow the celebrity dancers.

The former Strictly Come Dancing professionals collectively lost more than 7st on their recent weight-loss journey, which was triggered by a filter-free picture that was taken of the pair, where they described their bodies as “mum and dad bods”.

The couple had gained weight after Ola gave birth to their daughter, Ella, who is now two years old.

Ola weighed 11st 9lb and was a size 12-14, and now is back to her Strictly weight of 8st 3lb and a size 8.

James was 15st 6lb, and is now 11st 6lb.

The couple decided to lose weight with the exercise they know best – dancing.

Ola and James showed off their newly toned bodies on social media as part of the launch for their new diet and exercise plan, Dance Shred.

James uploaded a before and after image to Instagram of the pair, captioning it: “Gotta say we’re a bit shocked ourselves at how different we look now! But shocked in a good way.

“It’s the reason that original picture got posted – to give us the wake up call we needed to get our @ss’s in gear!

“Now we’re delighted to share it all with you – and we’ve road tested it so we know 100% that it works. Plus it really is a lot of us. If you have to exercise – it helps if it’s entertaining right?

“So learn some fun dance steps, swear it with some basic fitness moves and get a brilliant diet plan thrown in for free.”

But some of the couple’s followers didn’t seem too impressed with their weight loss transformation, calling it “fake” and that they had simply changed the lighting between the pictures.

One person commented: “Angles, make up, fake tan, lighting, posing, hair up, posture... don't fall for it guys.”

A second said: “Not sure I'm believing the first photo.”

A third was just fed up with the constant transformation pictures, writing: “Another one I need to unfollow - sick of seeing this every day on my timeline.”

On their decision to start Dance Shred, James said: “We spent our whole lives looking our best when we were dancing, so we were like: ‘Let’s start dancing again.’

"It was about going back to what we know.”
