Speaking about their 'mum and dad bods', the couple said they feel like their sex life isn't as 'exciting' anymore as they shared their desire to 'get back in shape'.
Ola, who appeared on Strictly from 2006 to 2015, told The Sun: 'The sex life is definitely different, if not worse, because we are so fat and don't want to move after a bag of crisps and a Chinese.
'The bellies get in the way of us when it comes to sex and I'm a bit heavy now. It's not as exciting.'
James added: 'Sex is definitely not better with the mum and dad bods, I can't throw her about any more like I am used to doing.'

James went on to say that he 'prefers' Ola and himself 'smaller', saying he doesn't want to upset her but that he wants them both to get fitter for the sake of their health.
'I will say I prefer Ola smaller. Of course I still love her and fancy her,' he said.
The couple - who share a two-year-old daughter Ella - said they adopted 'bad lifestyle choices' during the Covid-19 lockdown, after James tragically lost his father.
They went on to say that although they are supporters of body positivity, they are both classed as obese and want to lose weight for health reasons, and for their daughter Ella.
Ola said she never wants to make anyone 'feel bad', but said fitness is important to her because she wants to feel 'healthy' again as she reflected on her professional dancer days.

Their latest comments come after Ola shared a bikini-clad snap with her husband James and admitted she felt 'horrified' and 'shocked' at her 'mum bod'.
Last month, she took to Instagram to share a picture of herself and her husband soaking up the sun in their swimwear as they stood by their swimming pool.
In a caption, the British-Polish ballroom dancer candidly admitted she felt 'horrified' and 'disappointed' at her 'mum bod', saying she was posting the snap to 'motivate' herself.
She penned: 'Hi guys, I wasn't going to post this picture but I've decided to because I'm horrified and so disappointed with myself and by posting it I'm hoping it will help motivate me to do something about it.
'Our friend took this snap of us yesterday trying to stay cool by the pool but OMG... it was a total shock to say the least! When did we get 'mum and dad bods' ????

Family: Ola and James - who starred as a Strictly professional from 2006 to 2013 - tied the knot back in 2003 and welcomed their first child Ella, now two, together in 2020
'We know we're not in our best Strictly shape but hey that's what happens when you stop dancing for hours every day and have a baby (I just want to know James' excuse)
'Stay cool everyone. I think I need to avoid the ice cream for a while!!! Couples That Eat Together Stay Together @jamesjordan1978.'
Her celebrity pals were quick to flock to the comments to send her words of support, gushing that she looks 'stunning' and 'gorgeous' and urging her to go easy on herself.
Reflecting on the bikini-clad snap, Ola explained that in her Strictly days, she was doing ten-hour full days of dancing and would also go to the gym, while she has since left the show and had a baby.
Ola said her body has 'changed' since the show, while James also agreed that his body too has transformed since he left Strictly back in 2013 after seven years.
