Strictly’s James Jordan breaks silence on split from Ola: ‘I’m finding it really tough’

Strictly Come Dancing’s James Jordan has broken his silence on his split from wife Ola, revealing that he has been finding it “really tough”.

In a statement shared on 7 August, the couple’s representative confirmed that the pair, both former Strictly professional dancers, had decided to split after beginning “a trial separation some time ago”.

Addressing their separation on This Morning on Wednesday (19 August), James, who was joined by friend Brendan Cole, said he finds it “really hard to speak about” and is struggling to adapt to living on his own again.

However, he said that he has received immense amounts of support from his friends, including Cole, who said he has been checking in on James every day.
