Strictly Come Dancing's Ola and James Jordan have baby

Former Strictly Come Dancing stars James and Ola Jordan have announced the arrival of their baby daughter.

The couple, who live in Sevenoaks, shared the happy news this evening on social media.

Ola tweeted to say: "She's here and she is perfect #Mummy"

James, who grew up in Medway and was crowned Dancing on Ice champion last year, also shared the news with his followers.

He posted a picture of his little girl's feet resting in his hand, saying: "I’m the happiest man in the world #daddy."

The couple revealed their struggles with trying for a baby last year and said they were undergoing IVF treatment.

In an interview with Hello, they said Ola fell pregnant on the first round of IVF in June, despite doctors only giving them a 50% chance of being successful on their initial attempt.

At the time James told the magazine: "We've been with each other for 20 years, married for 16, travelled the world, achieved amazing things in our careers: trophies, accolades, Ola won Strictly Come Dancing, I won Dancing On Ice.

"But finding out that we are pregnant is no doubt our biggest achievement ever."

Last month the couple got a glimpse of their unborn daughter after visiting Window to the Womb, in Union Street, Maidstone, for a 3D scan.

She was due in March.

It is not yet clear exactly when the little bundle of joy arrived.

If it was today it would make her even more special as she would be a leap year baby, otherwise known as a leapling.
