James Jordan has reacted to claims that wife Ola (Image: INSTAGRAM) James Jordan has responded to allegations that his wife Ola was "difficult to work with" when she partnered with explorer Steve Backshall over a decade ago. His experiences as a naturalist saw him fight off poisonous snakes and dive with sharks before partnering up with Ola - but when he did, claims were made that she became "rude and patient" as he failed to master steps for a Charleston dance. Steve reportedly made a complaint to the BBC in 2014 as claims emerged that she'd been "cold, rude and tough" during training and it is thought that he was given a chaperone during rehearsals to avoid being alone with her.

However, husband James - who is also known for his sometimes caustic comments - laughed off the suggestion that he was "living in fear of" his wife. He reposted a sarcastic comment from a fan joking: "@The_OlaJordan stands 5'4" tall and weighs the same as a Pringle packet, she can reduce hardened explorers to tears. She's the dance floor assassin @bbcstrictly and we need a fund me page for poor @The_JamesJordan who must live in terror daily.

" James seemed to have found the comment amusing, as he screenshotted it before reposting it on Instagram Stories with a distressed face emoji and the words: "Please!!! Someone help me!" Meanwhile, it is understood that Steve struggled with aspects of Strictly due to previous injuries. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
