Ola Jordan reveals ‘BBC banned me from wearing sexy catsuits on Strictly’
The blonde bombshell quit the show in 2015
FORMER Strictly Come Dancing star Ola Jordan has claimed she was banned from wearing sexy catsuits by BBC bosses.
The Polish blonde bombshell, who left the popular dancing competition in 2015, told : "I loved wearing the catsuits but after a while they stopped me.
"I think they thought they were too sexy."
The professional dancer rarely wore the tight-fitting all-in-ones, but usually topped the leader boards when she donned the revealing outfits.
A show insider added: "At the time Ola was outraged, she thought it was a fix and another example of how they manipulate votes.
"She felt like the BBC were holding her back by not letting her wear the catsuit again.
"They clearly felt it was an unfair advantage and were manipulating the vote themselves in their own way."
The BBC responded with the statement: "Strictly isn't the kind of show that ever imposes "bans" and is always happy to work with the dancers on their outfits provided they are fitting for the particular dance they are doing that week."
Ola, 33, who is married to fellow professional dancer James Jordan, quit the BBC show in November amid claims the competition is fixed by judges.

She told The Sun previously: "Some of the marking is way off. People are over-marked and under-marked.
"In my opinion they know how many votes people scored in the previous weeks and then they try to influence their position on the leader board. Why else would they over-mark someone?"
Ola added: "All the pros talk about the marking. We ask each other, ‘What is all that about? Why are they trying to over-mark that person?’.
"If the show is not fair, it takes the fun out of it."
A BBC spokesman dismissed Ola’s accusations as "nonsense" at the time and commented: "Each judge scores each dance independently, based on its merits and on their expert opinion."
