I’m A Celebrity star Ola Jordan quit Strictly to start a family but put baby plans on hold for stint in the jungle
I'M A Celebrity star OLA Jordan quit Strictly Come Dancing to start a family but decided to put her baby plans on hold so she could enter the jungle.
The dancer's husband James has revealed the couple want to become parents, but they have delayed their plans for Ola's latest TV project.
James has revealed Ola,34, made the decision to give up her place on Strictly so she could concentrate on getting pregnant.
He has revealed they were trying for a baby, but Ola was convinced the opportunity to star on I'm A Celeb was too good to turn down.
He told the Daily Star: "Ola quit Strictly because she wanted to have a baby.
"We are doing loads of practising but she wanted to do I’m A Celeb first.”
A source added to the publication: "She initially left Strictly to become a mum but then the Jungle came up and she knew she wanted to give that a go before starting a family.
"She can’t wait to become a mum and James is right behind her."
Ola has previously spoke about the pressures of starting a family, revealing she wanted to enjoy her time with James before becoming a mum.
She said: "I’m at that age now where people expect you to be pregnant or have a child. People say: ‘Hurry up. You’re not getting any younger.’
"Every time we see my dad he says: ‘Where’s the baby?’ It’s not rude for people to ask us though, as we’ve been married so long."
The couple have been together for 17 years, and married for 13.
Ola quit Strictly in 2015, two years after James gave up his place in the line-up following a spat with show bosses.
