Sevenoaks couple James and Ola Jordan name baby

A couple best known for their appearances on Strictly Come Dancing have revealed the name of their baby daughter.

Sevenoaks pair James and Ola Jordan announced in an interview with Hello! magazine that they have decided to call their newborn Ella.

The professional dancers became parents on February 27 after undergoing IVF last year.

Ola, 37, told Hello!: "We didn’t have a name for the first week – she was just Baby, our little munchkin.

"It’s been amazing and overwhelming at the same time. We’ve wanted this for so long.

"We had a lovely life, but this is making us feel so much happier than anything else we have done. Nothing in our careers measures up to this. It feels perfect."

The famous pair previously revealed that they had been trying for a baby for three years.

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.

James, 41, who grew up in Medway, added: "It is all the more special because it’s something we never thought would happen.

"Our trophies and accolades fade into the background. This is the best moment of our lives, without a shadow of a doubt. Ola has given me the most precious gift. It’s totally changed the way I see the world."

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