Ola Jordan has revealed the one thing about being overweight which affected her sex life.
The mum-of-one, 40, who is 5ft 3, was told she was "obese" at size 14 after giving birth to her daughter Ella, now two.
The Strictly star has now dropped three sizes in three months, but says her previous weight gain affected her sex life with husband James, 44, massively.
"Let's just say getting fit and losing nearly four stone, I've thrown away my Bridget Jones pants once and for all," she said.
"I'm wearing sexy undies again and feeling so much better about my body. James can barely keep up with me!"

Speaking on Lorraine, James said: "Ella is an IVF baby and we were told that we are in the obese category.
"Ola is 5ft3 and was nearly 12st so we were in the obese category and we were told if we want another baby, we had to lose weight."
