Having your body slashed up and ripped apart is never going to be fun but when it’s being done to save your career, it’s likely to be even more terrifying.
Ola Jordan has undergone career-saving knee surgery today after sustaining a painful injury while training for winter sports show The Jump.
Before she went to theatre, the Strictly Come Dancing star’s husband James Jordan shared a picture of her lying in her hospital bed, admitting that she was scared about going under the knife.

He wrote: “Understandably @The_OlaJordan is looking a bit nervous as she is just about to go for surgery.”
Ola was accompanied to the hospital by her former Celebrity Big Brother housemate husband and was sent along with a pair of comfortable new slippers by her nieces.

Tweeting a snap of them, she wrote: “I have asked my nieces to buy me slippers for my hospital stay… not what I had in mind. Lol.”
Feel better soon, Ola! And we think you look VERY stylish by the way…
