James Jordan and Ola Jordan announce they are expecting their first child

James Jordan and Ola Jordan have announced they are expecting their first child.

The couple have announced the wonderful news that they are pregnant after previously discussing struggles to conceive.

The former Strictly Come Dancing professionals have been together for 20 years and took to social media to announce their news.

Ola wrote on Instagram: “I can’t actually believe I’m writing this but I’m so happy to say James and I are expecting a baby

“We are both so excited to add a little munchkin into our family.

“We have so much love to share and I know James will be the best daddy ever. He’s actually a real softy and already talking to our baby every day close to my belly.

“I’ve been with James for over half of my life and I always said I would never love anyone as much as I love him….. but now I will, just in a very different way.

“I can’t wait to meet this little person growing inside me and give them all the love I possibly can.”

Ola also opened up about the “long and emotional journey” the pair have been on to start a family.

She added: “P.S. Getting pregnant wasn’t straight forward for us and it’s been a long and emotional journey but we were one of the lucky ones.

“My heart goes out to all those couples still trying for that magical moment and I’ll always keep a prayer in my heart for you.”

Meanwhile, James wrote on his social media profiles: “Myself and @olajordan have been waiting for this moment for what seems like an eternity.

“After being with each other for 20 years and our love for each other growing stronger every day we finally feel complete and are so excited to share our amazing news that we are expecting a baby!!!!”

Following their time on Strictly, James recently appeared on Dancing On Ice while Ola took part in I’m A Celebrity.
