James and Ola Jordan have lost an incredible six and a half stone as they transformed their bodies from mum and dad bods, into professional dancer physiques.
The former Strictly Come Dancing duo, who write a weekly parenting column for HELLO!, were so thrilled to become parents to their daughter Ella that for the first months and years of her life, she was their only concern. But during the summer, as they took pictures of themselves around their pool, they started to worry about the way their physiques had shifted, and decided for Ella's sake, it was time to get their healthy bodies back.

"I think we both needed that wake-up call and realisation where we'd got ourselves to," Ola said. We needed to change our ways and be healthy for Ella. We needed to keep healthy for her." James remarked: "Because we were unhealthy. We went to the doctor and were both told we were in the obese category. Which for us as professional dancers, to be told that you're obese wasn't very nice."
The couple said they used a combination of exercise and watching what they ate as well as portion control, while still allowing themselves to eat a little of what they want.
