Former Strictly Come Dancing professional, Ola Jordan, has turned down a “big money offer” from ITV to join their upcoming rival dance show, aptly titled Dance Dance Dance.

Show bosses, who desperately wanted Ola to appear in the new series, approached the Polish-born beauty with a lucrative offer but she decided to reject the moneymaking opportunity following a series of “top-secret talks.”

Revealing that she’s had a cha-cha-change of heart about dance shows, she told the Daily Star: “I think I’m done with dance shows now. I was offered the ITV show but I just turned it down. I have just finished on Strictly and I didn’t want to do another dance show.”

After a decade on Strictly, the 34-year-old sensationally quit her role as a professional mentor, and has now ruled out a return to the BBC ballroom, adding: “I won’t go back to Strictly in the future either.”

Set to air on ITV in 2017, Dance Dance Dance will see celebrities team up with their partner, a friend or a relative as they perform an iconic dance routine in the hopes of impressing the tough-talking judging panel.

Speaking of the new six-part series, a source explained to The Sun: “For the past 12 years ITV has seen Strictly pull in massive ratings and gained a huge fan base of all ages.

“But ITV have finally decided it’s time to hit back and splash the cash on a super flashy show called Dance Dance Dance, which they bought from the company behind The Voice.”

They added: “Dance Dance Dance’s budget will blow Strictly out of the water as producers are planning to incorporate revolutionary special effects and recruit some huge names.”

And although the full-line up is yet to be revealed, it was recently claimed that Diversity dance troupe leader Ashley Banjo has signed up to be a judge, following a four-year stint on Sky1 talent show Got To Dance.

Dance Dance Dance is expected to launch on ITV in 2017.
