James and Ola Jordan delighted fans this week as they posed in their dance outfits showcasing their incredible weight loss – and fans wanted to know how they had achieved it in just five months.
Taking to Instagram again on Monday, the couple sat down to explain their weight loss journey, revealing exactly how they had achieved their new healthier look.
"We've come on here today just to have a little chat with you, because so many people have commented and noticed that myself and Ola have lost a considerable amount of weight, which we have and we're very proud of and very happy about it," James began.

And it is hard and we were stuck there a very long time. We had to change something, which we did. We had to start moving more, exercising more and change our diet," James confessed.
