Sadly for the former Strictly stars, they were forced to spend around six hours apart from their daughter as they headed back to work for the first time since lockdown restrictions eased.
Speaking in their HELLO! parenting column this week, James said: "Today she is six months old and also the first day we're leaving her alone." "Not alone," Ola corrected. "She's being looked after by my cousin. We're doing some work in London, filming, so we're leaving her for about six hours."

She continued: "I feel so strange to be honest, I'm having anxiety! I was feeling like this yesterday and I never thought I'd feel like this."
James agreed, adding: "Before we had children, we always said we don't understand why people worry. If you trust the person that you're leaving them with it shouldn't be a problem - but it's just different when you have your own child!
"When you leave them for the first time it's quite a big thing really! There might be people out there that think we're stupid for feeling like this, but I think anyone who has children, when you do it for the first time, it is a big deal."
