James Jordan says ‘there was no affair’ as he addresses shock marriage split

James Jordan shares his side of the story, taking aim at his estranged wife Ola after she accused him of cheating on her with a dancer during his tour.

Jame’s comments come out after reports emerged about his alleged affair with Russian ballroom professional Polina Mayer, 34.

James has now broken his silence on the allegations, saying he considered it ‘unfair’ for only one of them to discuss their marriage,while insisting he did not have an affair.

The former Strictly Come Dancing professional appeared on Friday’s episode of Jeremy Vine with fellow dancer Brendan Cole, when Jeremy asked about the news of his split from Ola.

James began: ‘Yes, I moved out, which was obviously in the press.

‘I haven’t really spoken about it because I always said I wouldn’t speak about it because I don’t think it’s fair to talk about it unless Ola would be here as well.’

Jeremy continued: ‘There was a story you were having an affair with someone and her husband rang Ola…’ to which James replied: ‘Apparently so, I don’t know if that’s true or not.’

Brendan then chimed in saying: ‘It’s hard to have an affair if you’ve moved out!’ as James continued: ‘Yeah… the narrative they’re pushing is incorrect.

‘There was no affair, I have grown closer to someone since I moved out back in June.

‘The problem is, if I say nothing I look guilty, if I say something I look like I’m being defensive so for me it’s kind of a lose-lose.

‘I will at some point put a statement out to try and clarify what’s been going on, I don’t feel your show is long enough to explain the whole thing.’

Last week, Ola broke her silence on claims her husband James had an affair, saying: ‘As a woman you know these things in your gut but now my worst fears have been confirmed, I’m utterly devastated.’

The former Strictly stars separated in June after 22 years of marriage and have been co-parenting daughter Ella, six.
