Ola Jordan has reportedly quit Strictly Come Dancing and will leave the competition after the current series.

The dancer is to leave the BBC One show in December after eight successful years, following husband James Jordan's decision to quit earlier this year.

A source explained to The Sun newspaper: "Ola leaving Strictly will come as a huge blow to the show.

"She hasn't been the most popular dancer in recent weeks and there have been some problems, but she is still one of the best professionals on the show.

"She has been there since 2006 and won the whole thing with Chris Hollins in 2009, so she will be a big loss."

Now Ola is said to have been offered a big-money deal by Channel 4.

"Ola's become disillusioned with working for the BBC and she and James want to do their own thing.

"Channel 4 are offering them a really good package.

"She's going to do 'The Jump' at the start of next year and they are lining up a dance reality show for them to star in.

"They feel they will get far more creative control than they had at the Beeb - and they are definitely going to earn a hell of a lot more cash."
