Strictly Come Dancing professional Ola Jordan has described herself as ‘utterly devastated’ to learn that ex-husband James Jordan is in a new relationship.
Ola, who joined Strictly in 2006 and left in 2015, tied the knot with James in 2003, before announcing their shock split in August.
It was reported today that James had cheated on her with another dancer – news that Ola reportedly learned via a phone call from the other woman’s ex-husband.
During the life-changing call, he allegedly told Ola that James had been having an affair with Russian professional dancer Polina Mayer.
This left the Strictly star feeling like her ‘world imploded’ after 22 years of marriage, and that she had been left ‘completely devastated.’
