Ola Jordan is said to have had a huge row with her estranged husband James over the phone after he went on TV to deny having an affair. 

On Friday, the former Strictly professional dancer, 48, appeared on The Jeremy Vine show and broke his silence on the allegations that he had cheated on Ola with Russian ballroom professional Polina Mayer, 34.

After Ola, 44, did a magazine interview James said he considered it 'unfair' for just one of them to discuss their marriage, yet insisted he did not have an affair.

Now insiders say Ola is devastated James is 'trying to control' the narrative and spent the day in tears after his TV appearance.  

A source told The Sun: 'Ola feels betrayed and hurt by James’ actions, she can’t believe he is being so blunt and disregarding her feelings.

'She is shocked and devastated, it’s as if their decades of marriage and years as a couple meant nothing. 

Ola Jordan is said to have had a huge row with her estranged husband James over the phone after he went on TV to deny having an affair.

On Friday, the professional dancer, 48, appeared on The Jeremy Vine show and broke his silence on the allegations that he had cheated on Ola with a Russian ballroom professional 

Reports emerged that James had an affair with glamorous Russian dancer Polina Mayer. He has insisted their relationship did not start before his split from Ola

'She is devastated that he is now dating Polina after she welcomed her into their house and supported them dancing together.'

The source added she feels James is 'parading his new romance around'. 

The Daily Mail has contacted James and Ola's representative for comment. 

James and Ola separated in June after 22 years of marriage and have been co-parenting daughter Ella, six. 

Reports emerged last week that James had an affair with Polina, with Ola's world said to have 'imploded' when she received a call from Polina's dancer husband Jamie Cutler to tell her of the alleged infidelity.

During Friday's interview, the former Strictly pro was asked about his split from Ola by TV host Jeremy. 

James said: '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 Cole 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'

Polina and James have appeared in many dance videos together on their socials, especially during dance rehearsals for their The Legends in Vegas: After Hours tour 

Brendan Cole 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.'

Following the claims, James insisted his relationship with Polina did not start before his split from Ola, with his spokesman telling the Daily Mail: 'I can confirm that James and Polina have grown closer in recent weeks since separating from their respective partners.'

Yet Ola said she still cannot come to terms with the romance, saying: 'I've not just lost my husband – I've lost my best friend and my business partner all in one go.

'It's difficult for me to describe what happened between us because this wasn't my decision. It came as a shock to me. These things often build up over a period of time and are not straightforward.'

Ola added in an interview with HELLO! magazine: 'I have no clue what the future holds and that's a scary place, but I'm trying to navigate it one day at a time.' 

She explained that James moved out in June, two months before they released their statement, saying: 'It was traumatic. It felt as though he was giving up on us and that it was the beginning of the end. I have cried a lot of tears.

'I'm finding it very hard to move forward. I'm still very raw.

'The most challenging thing has been trying to come to terms with the fact that someone you have been with for 26 years has left you,' she said. 'I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It's traumatic. Acceptance is the hardest thing. I feel like a failure. I feel rejected and alone. It's a lot to get my head around.' 

James told HELLO!: 'Despite this difficult time for Ola and myself, we remain committed to co-parenting Ella and looking after her best interests at all times, and we will always work together to ensure her happiness.' 

Polina and James have appeared in many dance videos together on their socials, especially during dance rehearsals for their The Legends in Vegas: After Hours tour. 

The tour features James, Brendan, Pasha Kovalev, Vincent Simone and Ian Waite and Polina often rotates in as James's dance partner. 

She is a professional champion dancer and also a dance teacher at AURA Dance Studios in Solihull, West Midlands. 

An insider close to Ola claimed she was 'stunned' to receive a call from Polina's husband.

Jamie, 37, who is a professional dancer in Belgium’s version of Dancing with the Stars, is said to have told Ola he was filing for divorce. 

The source said:  'Jamie called Ola out of the blue last week. He said Polina and James were sleeping together and that he believed Polina cheated on him with James.

'Ola was stunned, she said she felt like her whole world was imploding as he spoke. Jamie told her that she deserved to know what had been going on, he said she needed to know everything.'

The source added Ola then confronted James, telling him she 'wanted the truth'.

They said: 'She said he played it down and tried to palm her off, Ola’s head is spinning and she’s completely devastated.'

However those close to James have said his romance with Polina only began after their split from both Ola and Jamie.

Last month, Ola strongly hinted that there were difficulties in her 22-year marriage to James.

The professional dancer reposted a number of pointed clips about cheating to her Instagram stories.

In August, the pair, who started dating in 1999 before marrying in 2003, confirmed they had decided to end their marriage after a trial separation.

Sharing a joint statement at the time, they said their main priority was co-parenting their daughter Ella.

James, who was also a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, added how his 'mental health hasn't been in a good place for quite some time'.
