Ola Jordan has opened up about her dramatic weight loss after shedding three dress sizes in just four months.

The former Strictly Come Dancing professional wanted to completely overhaul her lifestyle and went from a size 14 to a size eight in a bid to live a more healthy life, writes The Mirror.

The 40-year-old said that she really wanted her former dancer body back but wasn't sure she would ever feel 'sexy' again after giving birth to her first child in 2020 and gaining weight during the pandemic.

Her weight gain really got to her and left her feeling down and Ola would refuse to leave the house and became a 'shell of her former self'.

However, Ola has turned it around and has dropped over three stone in just a matter of eight weeks and has said she feels like a different person.

Speaking to the Mail Online, she said: "I feel like I've lost a whole person. A size 14 was my biggest. I'm quite short as well so a size 14 for some people isn't big and that's the problem with weight and sizes because some people say a 14 isn't big.

"But being 5ft3 and a size 14 is big. I'm a size eight now. I missed my old self. There's nothing wrong with admitting it."

She added: "People now preach body positivity, and they accept it, but I really missed my old self and that's not just my body it was with dance and everything else. Health is important for me, and I want to stay healthy for as long as I can."

Ola was also joined on her health and fitness journey by her husband James and said they were encouraged to lose weight after having a 'wake-up call' when they shared an 'unflattering' picture of themselves in swimsuits this summer.

Sharing a clip of them which flicks between their before and afters, they couple penned: "Hey watch us lose 6
