Ola Jordan plans to quit Strictly Come Dancing in order to join Channel 4 show The Jump.



The Strictly pro has apparently signed up a deal to appear on the Splash-like reality series in the new year, alongside husband and former CBB housemate James Jordan.

The Sun newspaper reports that a spot on The Jump is just the start of a two-year deal between the Jordans and Channel 4 which will see them ultimately with their own show.

“Ola’s become disillusioned with working for the BBC and she and James want to do their own thing,” a source told the newspaper. “Channel Four are offering them a really good package.”



They explained the long-term plan: “She’s going to do the Jump at the start of next year and they are lining up a dance reality show for them to star in.

“They feel they will get far more creative control than they had at the Beeb — and they are definitely going to earn a hell of a lot more cash.”

The insider claimed that Ola’s exit will be a “huge blow” to Strictly.

“She has been there since 2006 and won the whole thing with Chris Hollins in 2009, so she will be a big loss,” they said.
