A source has told The Sun that Ola, 44, received a phone call to tell her of the alleged infidelity with Russian professional dancer Polina Mayer. Polina’s ex Jamie Cutler allegedly told Ola, which left the Strictly star feeling like her ‘world imploded’ after 22 years of marriage, and that she had been left ‘completely devastated.’ 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.’ Get personalised updates on Strictly Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro’s TV Newsletter.

They continued: ‘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 couple began dating in 1999 and tied the knot in 2003, announcing their split earlier this year (Picture: Ola Jordan) James has allegedly struck up a relationship with fellow professional dancer Polina Mayer (Picture: Polina Mayer) The source added Ola then confronted James, 48, about Jamie’s claims and told him she ‘wanted the truth’, to which James allegedly told her he was filing for divorce. 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, a spokesperson told The Sun on Sunday that James’ relationship with Polina began following their respective splits from Ola and Jamie. ‘I can confirm that James and Polina have grown closer in recent weeks since separating from their respective partners,’ they said. Polina, 34, often appears as James’ partner for their The Legends in Vegas: After Hours tour, which also features Strictly icons Brendan Cole and Pasha Kovalev as well as Vincent Simone and Ian Waite. Polina’s ex Jamie Cutler is said to have called Ola and informed her about the alleged infidelity (Picture: Polina Mayer) Ola and James, who started dating in 1999, announced their split in a joint statement, saying their main priority was co-parenting their daughter Ella, six. It read: ‘After 26 years together, this is something we never imagined we would be sharing. Following recent reports in the press about our relationship and after receiving messages asking if everything is okay, we feel it’s important to speak directly rather than let speculation or hearsay tell our story. ‘We have always tried to be open and honest with the people who have supported us over the years and we feel it’s only right that this update comes from us. ‘At the moment we’re taking some time apart as we work through very difficult personal challenges. (James) moved out of the family home some time ago. This has been an incredibly painful and emotional journey for us both and it certainly wasn’t an easy decision.’ It concluded: ‘We don’t know exactly what the future holds. For now, we’re taking things one day at a time, doing what we both believe is best for ourselves, our family and most importantly….. Ella. Ola is said to have been left ‘devastated’ by the news (Picture: James Manning/PA Wire) ‘We’re incredibly grateful for the love, kindness and concern so many of you have shown us over the years.’ Ola previously took to social media to reflect on her ‘incredibly tough’ split from James, explaining how Ella had been her source of strength. ‘There have been moments this summer when my heart has felt heavier than I ever imagined it could,’ she wrote. ‘Life has changed in ways I never expected, and some days have been incredibly tough. ‘But through all of the uncertainty, one thing has remained constant, my beautiful girl Ella. ‘Spending these summer holidays with my baby girl, making memories, having cuddles, laughing until our tummies hurt and simply enjoying every precious moment together has been my greatest comfort. ‘She may not realise it now, but she has been my little ray of sunshine through some of my darkest days.’ Metro has contacted representatives for Ola and James for comment.
