It depends what the motivation behind the writing and publication of the book is. In this case James and Ola have both criticised the show and if the article is to be believed (and of course there's a question mark there) she would be revealing details of other people's private affairs which she has no business doing. With Ola and James it's always gossip about others, never themselves.
Regarding criticisms of the show format Strictly made the Jordan's household names so them using the Strictly brand to sell the book whilst at the same time badmouthing the show is shoddy and sour grapes. I doubt there'll be any big revelations about the judges scoring and voting.
A real shame if Ola goes down this route as the book will overshadow everything she achieved in ten years hard work on Strictly.
