Professional dancer Ola Jordan will undergo surgery today after suffering an injury while filming for a TV show.

The Strictly Come Dancing star was hurt during rehearsals for Channel 4's ski-themed series The Jump.

The accident left the 32-year-old in a leg cast and on crutches.

The Polish-born beauty, who is married to fellow dancer James Jordan, told fans she would be undergoing surgery for the injury this afternoon.

Last night, she took to Twitter to thank her followers for their support.

The ballroom favourite wrote: "Thank you so much everyone for your good luck messages."

She later added: "Feeling the love guys. Thank you."

Her 36-year-old husband was a regular on Strictly until he was dropped before the last series.

He told his followers earlier today: "Wow. That was quite emotional seeing @OlaJordan be taken away for surgery."

The couple, who lived near Kings Hill before moving to Maidstone, have not had much luck over the festive period with James falling ill on Christmas Day.

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant was taken to Pembury Hospital in Tunbridge Wells after collapsing at home following chest pains.

He was later discharged but returned to hospital to undergo tests.
