Fans will be disappointed to hear this. 

Ola Jordan has revealed that she plans to quit hit show Strictly Come Dancing if she becomes pregnant.

The star and her husband James are said to be planning a family as a new TV documentary goes behind the scenes to see how they coped with her recent knee injury.

Ola is hoping to have children.

Speaking before the programme aired, Ola admitted that she will have to quit the dancing show if she becomes a mum.

“I know my clock is ticking,” she stated. “I’m 32 now. If I had a baby I think it would be unfair to leave it with James or someone else. That’s how I feel.

Strictly is different from doing a normal job, a nine to five. But I also wanted to be the first female pro dancer to last for 10 years.”

James was also part of the Strictly crew but left the show after eight series following a reported falling out with producer Louise Rainbow.

“She came in and changed things which I felt as a professional dancer were my decision – I’ve been doing it my whole life,” he said about the fight.

“I didn’t like being told what to do by someone who is a producer – when it comes to the dancing, leave it to me,” the 37-year-old added.

Speaking about his desire to have children he continued: “I’m 37 now. My dad was 27 when he had me.

“However, as I said to Ola, all I had when I was 27 was debt. We had nothing. Financially we’re in a much better position to have children now which makes it easier, whatever anyone says.”
