Ola Jordan slams Kim Woodburn for 'starting rows to get airtime' after CBB spat with James
OLA JORDAN has jumped to her husband James' defence after Kim Woodburn called him a "fat slob" on Celebrity Big Brother.
CBB's Kim Woodburn causes a MAJOR row on her first night
Ola, 34 - who starred on the latest series of I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! - didn't hold back when discussing James' housemates, with her insisting that Kim knows exactly what she's doing by starting so many rows.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Ola said: "I don't think he [James] has a game plan other than to be honest and have loads of fun.
"Speidi are famous for having a game plan in these scenarios so it will be interesting to see what they do next! Kim [Woodburn] obviously wants to make lots of noise in there and cause rows to get air time…it's definitely working!"
As well as his row with Austin, James was also previously accused of being "homophobic" by viewers earlier this month.

James, 38, told Austin - before he got booted out of CBB - that he was "used to playing with little soft boys and not real boys", which didn't go down incredibly well with fans at home.
However, Ola has now insisted that he wouldn't have had the career that he's had if he was homophobic.
The beauty continued: "Austin called James a fairy and then he retaliated by calling Austin soft - as he would have done to anyone straight or gay.
"You have to remember James grew up in the dance world, it wouldn't have been possible for him to survive in that world if he was homophobic."
Ola has been married to James for 13 years

"James has loads of gay friends made throughout his career and it's just a shame that the press took things out of context and implied otherwise," she added.
Despite the "homophobic" comments, Ola admitted that she thinks James - who regularly causes controversy on Twitter - has managed to change people's perception of him.
She went on: "Yes, hopefully James has changed some people's perception of him. He is a wind up and yes he will always stir things up in there because that is the name of the game.
"But, James is a good guy and a softy at heart…he'll kill me for saying that. I call him my armadillo because they have a hard shell but are soft inside!"
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.
