Parents-to-be! Ola and James Jordan are expecting their first baby

Former Strictly Come Dancing stars Ola and James Jordan have announced they are expecting their first baby after struggling to conceive. 
 
Taking to social media to share their joyful news, the former Strictly stars posted an image of them holding a picture from their twelve-week scan and confirmed that they will become parents in the near future.
 
In the caption, Ola wrote: "'I can't actually believe I’m writing this but I’m so happy to say @TheJamesJordan and I are expecting a baby. We are both so excited to add a little munchkin into our family."

James added: "'Myself & @The_OlaJordan have been waiting for this moment for what seems like an eternity,' he wrote. 

"After being with each other for 20 years & our love for each other growing stronger every day we can now share our amazing news that we are expecting a baby!!

Speaking to Hello! Magazine Ola, who has been married to James for 16 years, said: "I still can't quite believe it... I don't think it's properly sunk in.

"When we had the scan it was funny because the baby was dancing. I'm not sure if it was a cha-cha or a jive, but it was definitely dancing. 

James explained that the couple had previously been told that they "only route" for them to get pregnant would be IVF.

He said: "Finding out that we are pregnant is no doubt our biggest achievement ever. This is probably the most special and exciting thing that has ever happened to us...

"When the doctor explained the only route for us to get pregnant would be IVF, it was tough to process. It's not something any couple ever thinks will happen to them.

"I'm so glad I get to see her become a mum because it's all she's ever really wanted."
