Ola Jordan posts about infidelity following split from James Jordan

Ola Jordan, a former professional dancer on the BBC competition series, posted a series of messages on Instagram addressing infidelity after her separation from husband James Jordan. The posts included statements such as, "Why cheat if you can just leave? Why lie to someone who gave you their heart, their trust, their everything. If you’re not happy, go." She also wrote, "A cheating man is bad enough, but a man who pretends to be good while being a pathological liar and manipulator is even worse," and described men who cheat as "insecure, emotionally underdeveloped and addicted to external validation."

James Jordan, 48, said in an interview on a morning television programme that he moved out of the family home into a one-bedroom apartment and is coping with a difficult period, adding, "I find it hard to talk about, and I’m not going to speak about it too much, because I don’t think it’s fair on her… it’s a tricky one." He said the change is part of his effort to "find myself again."

The couple, who met in 1999 and have a daughter together, have been separated since the summer. Ola Jordan has been offered a return to the BBC dance show, marking her first invitation since leaving the programme in 2015. An industry source said the invitation came shortly after the split, but did not confirm any connection between the timing and the couple’s personal circumstances.
