No, I said I'm amazed that people think leaks don't come from people like hospital staff and in other walks of life, but that if her agent did arrange the photo op on this occasion, then I don't see what's wrong with that. It doesn't mean I think every photo we see of the Jordans (or anyone else from the show is a set up). Please don't read more into my words than is there or start twisting them to suit your point of view - which I respect btw even if we don't always agree.


Must admit I'm surprised she was asked back because of James' reaction to what appeared to be going on, but obviously I'm glad she has been asked back because I think she gets the best out of her celebs. It will be a business decision though and nothing else.


Will PM you.

I don't think I really twisted what you said but whatever....it's only the publicity seeking Jordans - not life and death

I think the BBC might be going by the adage that any publicity is good publicity.....personally I think it's a shame but that's the way it sometimes works and that's partly why I think she's back.

I think you're right and it's a real shame the BBC take that view, as I wouldn't be surprised if some decent celebs are put off signing up because of all the negative press attention which often goes with it. I don't just mean the Jordans there, but also all the implications that anyone under 50 is going to have an affair with their partner etc. - some celebs probably think its not worth it to put up with all that. The BBC might do better to try and salvage the reputation of the show, as all the stories of bullying/negativity/husband stealing (true or not) are destroying the illusion of the fun family show it used to be.

Agreed, let's just move on to more cheerful stuff.


I agree and can't help but think the reason for this negative approach is simply to keep one of the BBC's flagship shows in the public eye because of how long the show has lasted. At the end of the day most of the negative publicity the show's got over the years is a long way from the levels other reality shows like BB or even XF has got at times. I'm convinced some of the stuff we've seen in the media was intentionally leaked because the producers thought it was an acceptable risk.

How about kristina and Ben Naaaah..too risky

One thing I don't get about the Jordans is that all the other pros seem to have pretty full schedules in the off-season. They either have their own tours, guest on other people's tours, guest in musicals or shows like BWAT or BTF, dance on cruise ships, run their own studios, appear at other people's studios, and do endless one-off appearances for events, charities and corporate-dos. Even when Ola was match-fit the Jordans seemed only to do the odd teaching gig or one-off event. Does nobody want to book them or are they less interested in making a career out of dancing?

They do the same kind of work as the other pros. In fact, the Jordans along with other pros past and present are doing a DWTS weekend at a hotel near me next month (it's sold out). My friend's husband caddied for James at a charity golf tournament last year and Ola was there the whole time too. They've done at least two teaching workshops in the last year at a Sandals resort in the Caribbean that I know about. They haven't set up their own tour like some, but they were discussing plans for touring with Arlene before Ola's accident. Have a look on Google for other stuff. I don't mean to come over as a Jordan follower, I'm just sharing what I know.

Ola and James seem to be the ones in the current line up who want to move into more general TV work (not saying this is a bad thing - it was a similar thing that gave me Brendan on Love Island for which I am eternally grateful!) - you don't go on CBB if you want to fade out the limelight - but I would guess that Ola's injury put the breaks on that. Now, they need another series for one of them on Strictly to get the momentum back.

Apparently the Jordans have got a one-off show on ITV Be coming up. I've deleted that channel because it doesn't show anything of interest to me.

Oh yah. I can see why they want her back, she's big box orifice. James maybe not so much

Ola started dancing again a week ago.

10 reps of 150 kg is certainly strong enough.

Ola and James seem to be mentioning strictly quite a bit in the media in the last few days....James even stuck his oar in and gave his opinion on the 'same sex couple' story and used it to have a dig a Craig.......could it be that they want pre publicity for their 'fly on the wall' documentary which is going to be aired next week?...most likely.

There's a video of her squatting from the same day though, and she's using an empty barbell (15kg for a ladies Olympic) which really isn't great (I squat 60kg and am an almost 40 year old writer and hobbiest dancer).

Ho hum.

Thought we'd got rid of both of them. I find them both, together and separately, really mediocre - as dancers and as people - and I was looking forward to seeing some new talent for a change.

Back to scraping the barrel again. Anything for column inches, even if it is irredeemably naff!

It seems that Ola has made it back to dance fitness in 7 months.

Good to see her back, and a nice tweet from DJ Spoony - along with many others.

James tweeted some very angry messages about Robin Windsor a few months ago which he then deleted. Robin had been filmed talking to a group of people spilling the beans on Ola and saying she had not turned up to rehearsals because she was "ill" but was actually filming The Jump. Lol. The video isn't there any more (it was on You Tube for a while but removed).

Just read the thread. Amazing to see the vitriol about the Jordans still continuing from some. Well done to Ola for getting fit again and for doing this series. I'm so glad that the viewing public isn't as strangely and passionately negatively biased as some posters are.
