Former Strictly Come Dancing pro James Jordan looked almost unrecognisable as he shared a throwback snap of himself and wife Ola Jordan as he wished her a happy wedding anniversary. The dancing husband and wife duo have been married for 19 years and now share a two year old daughter, named Ella.The pair looked youthful in the throwback snap, as James, 44, wore a white v-neck t-shirt and rocked a long mane of hair and a goatee beard as he smouldered at the camera whilst wrapping his arms around his love. Ola, 40, matched him in a white tank top as she placed both hands on his arm and smiled blissfully, whilst showing off her natural brown locks.

@FlopsyPickle told him: "She won’t be able to straighten them any more than she is, due to her dwarfism, as it tends to cause bowing of the legs." They added: "There are a couple of hundred conditions that fall under the dwarfism umbrella. The majority cause bowing of the legs."
@dawnie2305 messaged: "Unfortunately she won't be able to straighten her legs anymore than she already has, it is part of dwarfism." Ellie won her first two gold medals at the age of 13 at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing.
She said about joining Strictly that she's proud to represent people with dwarfism. “It means everything, to represent
