James Jordan pours fuel on the flames of the Strictly bullying row as he MOCKS Steve Backshall over his complaint over wife Ola, taunting 'Please help me' as he shares comment ridiculing the explorer

As a seasoned journalist with years of experience under my belt, I’ve covered countless stories and have seen the lengths people will go to make headlines. Amanda Holden, a beloved British television personality, has recently been making waves with her allegations against the hit BBC show “Strictly Come Dancing.” Her claims, although not yet proven, have sparked a media frenzy and left many questioning the motives behind her actions.


James Jordan added more intensity to the Strictly bullying controversy when Steve Backshall accused his wife, who was a dancer on the show in 2014, of bullying him.

This evening, Mr. Jordan hopped on social media to take a playful dig at the veteran TV explorer. The explorer had recently expressed his displeasure to the BBC over Ola, the professional dancer’s allegedly rude and impatient behavior during their collaboration on a show.

A Strictly fan expressed shock that the seasoned adventurer, known for encountering Great White sharks and venomous snakes, could be brought to tears by the 5ft4 dancer Mr. Jordan’s teasing comment. The adventurer himself jokingly asked for assistance.

A week ago, footage surfaced showing Mr. Jordan making threatening comments to his dance partner, Georgina Bouzova, during their time on the celebrity dance competition show. He warned that he would pull her across the floor and yell at her if she made mistakes.

During a period of controversy for the show due to multiple abuse allegations and an ongoing investigation into misconduct, bullying accusations have resurfaced. According to sources, the program’s reputation has been severely damaged.

Graziano Di Prima, aged 30, was let go from the new show due to allegations of verbal and physical harassment against his famous partner Zara McDermott, 27, during the previous season.

After Giovanni Pernice, aged 33, was temporarily removed from the program last month due to allegations of inappropriate conduct off set, which he refutes, from Amanda Abbington, 50, and two other past celebrity colleagues.

And as far back as 2014 there were claims of bullying when Steve appeared on the show.

After making a complaint, they were given a companion to accompany them both, as he didn’t want to be in close proximity to the now 41-year-old Polish dancer alone.

The leaders of the program had to intervene when he claimed that her “impolite and agitated” behavior had affected his self-assurance.

A trustworthy insider shared back then: “Steve is a lively character, always ready for new experiences. However, Ola’s harsh behavior took a toll on him, leaving him deflated and less confident.”

I’ve been there before, feeling frustrated and impatient when trying to learn a new dance move. It can be disheartening when you just can’t seem to get it right, no matter how hard you try. And sometimes, people around us may become impatient or rude, making the learning process even more challenging. But remember, everyone learns at their own pace, and it’s essential to stay positive and persistent. Maybe take a break, come back to it later with fresh eyes, or seek help from a teacher or experienced dancer. The Charleston may seem difficult now, but with time and practice, you’ll get there. So don’t let someone else’s impatience or rudeness discourage you. Keep going!

One possible paraphrase for “Her choreography and tuition were so challenging that Steve sought help from others to learn what he needed to do” or “Steve found her dance instructions and routines too difficult, so he asked others for assistance.”

Based on my personal observation and interaction with Ola, I’ve come to the conclusion that she comes across as aloof and chilly. Her demeanor gives off a sense of detachment, and she seems reluctant to engage with Steve’s inner circle, be it his family or friends. From what I’ve gathered through my experiences, this kind of behavior can stem from various reasons such as past traumas or personal preferences. However, without delving deeper into her background, it’s essential to respect Ola’s choice and give her the space she needs.

After the Halloween Charleston dance, Steve voiced his concerns directly to one of the Strictly production team members.

In the meeting, the bosses decided that Ola and Steve should have constant companionship from now on during their stay in the competition.

At the time Steve told how he struggled with the physical demands of the series.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, he shared that an accident during climbing in 2008 resulted in his left ankle being fused, preventing him from flexing his toes.

The action star, who had been bitten by a caiman – a reptile akin to a crocodile – disclosed that he endured “unrelenting discomfort” during training and required painkillers daily. He further shared, “It has left me utterly shattered.”

Dancing on hardwood floors for hours every day while wearing rigid dance shoes without any shock absorption can leave my body feeling exhausted and broken. Each step I take sends an unyielding impact straight through me.

He expressed his disappointment as well, mentioning that the continuous training interfered with his social life: “Despite being in such a prominent role, I regret not having the time to hang out with my closest friends or go on a date.”

Based on my personal experience and observation, it seems unfortunate when a potential dancing partner is unavailable due to being happily married. Having been in similar situations before, I can attest to the feelings of disappointment and frustration that come with it. Yet, I understand and respect the commitment and loyalty that comes with marriage. It’s important to remember that dance partnerships are just that – partnerships for the dance floor, not a gateway to romantic involvement. Each person’s life journey is unique, and we must respect the choices they make along the way.

‘And outside of that, not a chance. I have had zero social life.’

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve had the opportunity to observe many contestants on various shows, and let me tell you, Ola is one of the most dedicated and demanding coaches I’ve ever come across. She firmly believes that Steve has what it takes to succeed in this competition, and she’s determined to help him reach his full potential.

I’ve been following this competition closely, and I must admit, I’m thoroughly impressed by Sheila’s determination and grit. Winning the trophy with Chris Hollins was a significant achievement for her, and she cherishes that moment. But she’s not one to rest on her laurels. She’s hungry for more success, and with the support of the mums and kids in this contest, Steve is a strong contender. I’ve seen how powerful the collective votes of families can be in similar competitions, and I believe Steve has a genuine chance of taking home the trophy once again. It’s an inspiring journey to witness, and I’m rooting for both Sheila and Steve.

A representative for Ola has been contacted by TopMob for comment.  

Last week, James, Ola’s husband and a former contestant on the show like her, reacted angrily after old footage surfaced in which he threatened to drag Georgina across the floor and yell at her if she forgot her dance steps.

The ballroom dancer and choreographer, aged 46, criticized the BBC strongly after an old clip resurfaced online in light of the recent scandals involving Giovanni and Graziano. She stated that the majority of the content in the clip did not involve Georgina at all.

In the fourth series, filmed in 2006, there is a clip where he practices scenes with actress Georgina.

I’ve worked with many difficult clients during my years as a personal trainer, but this one took things to a new level. He would often make bizarre demands during our sessions, like making her stand on one leg while he threatened her with violent language. His callous attitude towards her pain was shocking. I remember one time when he insisted she was faking injury if she couldn’t physically break a rib, no matter how much agony she was in. His behavior was far from acceptable, and it left me feeling uneasy.

Since then, he’s reacted to the Instagram clip with an angry post, claiming that the video had been manipulated for amusement and greatly exaggerated.

I assure you, there’s no resemblance whatsoever between those disturbing accusations and my experience as a contestant on the VT for the past eight years. My esteemed co-stars have never voiced any concerns or complaints regarding my behavior during my tenure on the show.

James wrote in the caption as he posted a picture of him dancing with Georgina: “A throwback for some of you: Remember the BBC clip of us training eighteen years ago? That’s right, I used to have hair back then!”

Based on my experience as a long-time viewer of BBC programs, I can assure you that the footage shown on It Takes Two 18 years ago was carefully shot and edited by the BBC team to provide entertainment for the audience. Their expertise and dedication to producing high-quality content were evident in the way they put together that specific episode. While it may have been meant for enjoyment, I believe the team took their responsibilities seriously and worked diligently to create an engaging and enjoyable viewing experience for us all those years ago.

Several clips showed unrelated content to Georgina, a practice now discouraged due to its potential for distortion (instead, clips should accurately represent events). However, these unrelated clips were used to heighten the effect or impact.

The BBC compiled this video montage in an amusing manner, as evident by Georgina’s chuckles during its production in the studio and throughout the clips. In my eight-year tenure on the program, I never received a single complaint from any of my celebrity dancing partners.

As an avid fan and follower of the show, I can’t help but reflect on that incident where I was portrayed in a negative light during the BBC production. It’s clear to me now that if I had genuinely hurt someone’s feelings, the producers never would have dared to use such footage against me. I may have played along with their narrative as a perfectionist and a good sport, but deep down, I take pride in my genuine friendships with my celebrity dance partners. I wouldn’t intentionally upset anyone.

Based on my experience working in media production and dealing with rumors and allegations, I firmly believe that it would be unwise for anyone to connect the edited BBC VT (video tape) with ongoing reports of abusive behavior among Strictly professionals. The two issues should be kept separate to maintain fairness and accuracy in reporting. Rumors and allegations can often be inflammatory and may not represent the full truth. It’s important to let investigative processes run their course before jumping to conclusions or making unwarranted connections. I have seen firsthand how damaging it can be for innocent parties when false rumors spread, and it’s essential to approach such matters with caution and respect for all involved.

Based on my personal experiences and observations, I strongly believe that there is a vast difference between the serious allegations being made and the highly produced and exaggerated videos from the BBC archives circulating on social media. I have witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of workplace bullying and abusiveness, and I wholeheartedly condemn such behavior. It’s important to remember that real-life situations are often complex and nuanced, unlike the simplified narratives presented in these viral videos. Let us strive for accuracy and fairness in our discussions, and always keep in mind the human impact of our words and actions.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d suggest this: When Jordan, who had been on Strictly eight times until 2012, noticed Ms. Bouzova’s shopping cart filled with sweets and chocolates during their supermarket trips, he decided to make a change. He kindly asked her to lay off the sugary treats and instead encouraged her to buy healthier options like pineapple and ham.

A few days following Graziano’s dismissal due to accusations of violence against his partner Zara, a video surfaced and was featured on It Takes Two, the Strictly Come Dancing spin-off. Claudia Winkleman, the show’s host at that time, presented it to the audience.

About halfway into the video, the program came back to the host, who jokingly referred to Jordan, Ola Jordan’s husband, as an “extraordinary individual.”

In a TikTok video making the rounds on social media, Jordan boldly declares his formidable presence to Ms. Bouzova and instructs her to scoot her foot away.

He justifies his intense treatment of her by stating bluntly: “If she hasn’t truly broken a rib or is bleeding from her feet, I don’t make an exception. If her feet hurt, she should keep dancing.”

Ms. Bouzova seemed taken aback by Jordan’s reactions at the age of 46 and inquired, “What’s your next move?”

He replies: ‘I drag you across the floor and then scream at you when get up..’

In the video, Jordan later comments to Ms. Bouzova that she needs to shed some pounds. She shared with the viewers, “He essentially thinks I’m overweight,” to which he responded, “I told you no more chocolate, no more crisps. Every time I run into you, you’re munching on chocolate.”

After that, she inquired if she appeared overweight to him. His response was “no.” However, when she questioned, “Could I stand to shed some pounds, perhaps?” he answered affirmatively.

On last Monday, Jordan expressed his concern on X about another professional dancer absent from Strictly Come Dancing once more, allegedly due to abusive behavior.

Amanda is about to find out the outcome of the investigation initiated against her partner Giovanni following her complaint of bullying during Strictly dance practice sessions.

Despite the result, reports indicate that bosses are greatly displeased with the actress for allegedly urging ex-contestants to consult with her legal team concerning their participation in the show.

Lately, it’s believed that she has encouraged past Strictly competitors to contact Carter-Ruck, a law firm based in London, to share any claims they may have about a harmful work environment on the show.

According to a BBC source, Amanda appears determined to leave a shadow of controversy over Strictly.

“She clearly doesn’t care for the show and has expressed her displeasure. Yet, she still chooses to attend and may be ruining the experience for others.”

Based on my experience as a seasoned investigative journalist, I’ve seen countless cases where initial allegations seem insufficient to prove wrongdoing. In this particular situation, it appears that there isn’t enough evidence to substantiate the complaint against Giovanni. However, the complexities of human nature often bring unexpected twists and turns to such stories.

I’ve been absolutely consumed by the news that back in 2009, my beloved Amanda reportedly reached out to Laila Rouass. The reason for this contact? Well, it seems that during that time, my idol’s partner, Anton Du Beke, who is now a esteemed judge on Strictly Come Dancing, allegedly made an insensitive comment about Amanda after she had undergone a spray tan. And what did he call her? Unfortunately, he described her as looking like something that wasn’t very becoming. I can only imagine how hurtful and devastating that must have been for Amanda, and I respect her for taking the initiative to seek legal advice following such an incident.

The employees strongly object and argue that less severe actions, similar to Graziano’s hitting and kicking of Zara, could weaken the significance of genuine grievances.

One person asked: “In what way does Amanda bringing up old instances of raised voices or events from fifteen years ago contribute to addressing the genuine concerns of bullying?”

Currently, The Mail has reported that individuals privy to the ongoing investigation into Mr. Pernice’s alleged misconduct express doubts about the likelihood of the accusations being substantiated.

I, as a committed supporter, can attest that this development clears the path for the skilled dancer, vehemently maintaining his innocence regarding allegations against Ms. Abbington, three months following the initiation of the investigation.

As a deadline for making a decision approaches, Ms. Abbington broke with convention by discussing Mr. Pernice’s controversial actions with The Sun on Sunday.

From my perspective as a lifestyle expert, some people argue that I gave the interview with the intention of harming the Italian dancer once more, despite anticipation that he will be exonerated for the alleged bullying against me.

Ms. Abbington, in an interview with the paper recently, revealed that she developed PTSD following the production of the show around six months ago. She alleges that Mr. Pernice was verbally abusive, harsh, and unkind towards her during this time. Unfortunately, she hasn’t shared any specific instances of his alleged mistreatment.

She explained that she spoke up and filed a complaint, not wanting to be bystander as he harmed others, even if it meant enduring potential retaliation.

She expressed: “I couldn’t bear the thought of continuing if I were to subject future contestants to that experience.”

In response to her interview with the Mail, Mr. Pernice’s representative stated that he had been informed of the BBC’s claims from the investigation and had willingly complied. However, none of the accusations published in the Sun on Sunday were a part of these allegations.

“Giovanni counters these claims, insisting that he’s never engaged in abusive or threatening actions. He’s presented solid proof to support this during the investigation and is certain of being exonerated.”

According to one report, Amanda seems quite disappointed with the situation and is taking proactive measures in case the decision doesn’t turn out in her favor.

As a former dance instructor and choreographer, I can tell you that the start of a new series of professional dancing competitions always brings a wave of excitement and anticipation. But it also means long hours of rigorous training for the dancers, who must be in peak form to impress judges and audiences alike. The fallout from the previous season may still be a topic of discussion, but with the new series kicking off today, the focus is now on the present and the future. It’s an exhilarating time, full of promise and possibility – but also hard work and dedication. From my experience, I know that every step, every movement counts, and the dancers are ready to give it their all.
