Ola Jordan wrote on Twitter that she was 'confused' by her leaving Strictly rumours

Her message came after an insider told The Sun that Ola had plans to sign a very lucrative deal with Channel 4.

"Ola leaving Strictly will come as a huge blow to the show," the source said. "She hasn't been the most popular dancer in recent weeks and there have been some problems, but she is still one of the best professionals on the show. "She has been there since 2006 and won the whole thing with Chris Hollins in 2009, so she will be a big loss."

Ola Jordan and her husband James will appear in a dance reality TV show, the reports claimed

Ola was most recently at the centre of a controversy regarding her celebrity dance partner Steve Backshall, who is said to have lodged a complaint with the BBC that he was "being bullied" by her during rehearsals. At the time Ola's husband, professional dancer James, defended his wife on Twitter, stating that Ola didn't have "a bad bone in her body". James used to dance on Strictly but was not asked back this year. The newspaper report went on to say that Channel 4 was offering the couple a big pay package and the chance to star on-screen together in a new programme. "Ola's going to do The Jump at the start of next year and they are lining up a dance reality show for [her and James] to star in," the source added.
