Ola Jordan says she is devastated after husband James Jordan's alleged affair
The former Strictly Come Dancing professional announced she is devastated following reports that her husband, James Jordan, has begun a relationship with dancer Polina Mayer.
Ola Jordan, a former professional on the BBC dance competition, said she is "truly devastated" after reports that her husband, fellow dancer James Jordan, has started seeing Russian dancer Polina Mayer. The couple, who announced their separation after 22 years of marriage in June, described the split as unexpectedly difficult.
Jordan’s spokesperson stated that James and Mayer have become closer in recent weeks and that there was no overlap with the marriage.
The Jordans met at a dance competition in 1999, married in 2003 and have a daughter, Ella, conceived through IVF after a three-year fertility struggle. James previously discussed the challenges in their relationship on ITV’s This Morning.
Both professionals rose to prominence after joining Strictly Come Dancing in 2006. Ola remained on the show until 2015, winning the 2009 series with celebrity partner Chris Hollins, while James left the programme in 2013. They have appeared together on several other television programmes.
