Ola Jordan learnt English by watching 'EastEnders'.
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional has credited the popular BBC One show with helping her improve her English after moving to Britain from Poland, much to the amusement of her husband, James Jordan.
Speaking while launching and tasting the new refreshing Gallo Family Vineyards Summer Rose on London's South Bank yesterday (29.07.14), she said: "When I first moved to England, I picked up more English words by watching 'EastEnders' - I loved the show and still do now. I also consider myself to be a Londoner thanks to 'EastEnders' for giving me a cockney-Polish accent! James loves to tease me about it."
The blonde beauty rose to fame starring on 'Strictly' and Ola has admitted that she isn't ready to leave, despite wanting children in the near future.
She shared: "I've been at 'Strictly' for almost 10 amazing years now - I'm not planning to leave any time soon but hope to have two beautiful children with James. I'd like a boy and a girl but I'm just excited to be blessed with children."
Ola's husband and fellow 'Strictly' dancer James left the BBC show last year along with the show's long-time host, Bruce Forsyth, and the star will miss them both dearly.
She added: "It is going to be strange without James and Brucie this autumn on 'Strictly' but I'm going to stick with it. James is supporting me all the way and I'm sure I'll see Brucie again soon."

Alesha Dixon wants her own talk show like Oprah Winfrey.
The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge has revealed she is a huge fan of the American chat show legend - who ruled the airwaves with her self-titled show for 25 years - and hopes to one day tackle "real issues" on a show of her own.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "One day I'd love to have my own show.
"Oprah Winfrey is my biggest idol. I absolutely love her and admire her. Her show, I think it's such a powerful platform for people to want to go and express what's going on in their lives and social issues.
"That kind of show, one day, for me, would be so appealing. To have something that is real and deals with real issues and brings attention and light to areas that I'm passionate about.
"I don't know when, or how, or what time it should go out, but it's a dream I have for the future."
The 35-year-old beauty admits she would be open to a spot on the 'Loose Women' panel, joining her pals Jamelia and Myleene Klass, but is concentrating on her music career for the time being.
She explained: "I'm a big fan of 'Loose Women', I love the fact it allows you to have a voice and opinion, it's an incredible show. And I love watching Jamelia and Myleene on there - I think they're doing a brilliant job. For me, at this moment, it's music - that's my passion, that's why I started out in this industry and that's where my heart is."
Alesha is also friends with 'X Factor' judge Cheryl Cole and says she isn't surprised by the singer's secret wedding to French restaurateur Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini earlier this month.
She said: "I'm so happy for her. I love people that go for it in life. Life's too short and we're all far too judgemental. I say this, if she's happy then that's good enough for me. She's living in the moment and good for her."
Alesha Dixon launched Virgin Media's Race Bolt at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, where she set a time of 5.56 seconds on the 40 metre track, only 1.7 seconds slower than the virtual Usain Bolt.
The Race Bolt challenge is open daily to the public at Glasgow Green until August 3.

Jessie J thinks 'The Voice' viewers need to vote on talent alone.
The 26-year-old songstress - who appeared as a coach on the hit show for its first two series - says gifted singers are often voted out early on the singing competition because the audience "forgets it's about the talent" and vote for their favourite.
She explained to the Metro newspaper: "It just takes one person to make the show happen. If that person gets kicked out too early it can ruin it. The show brought out some amazing talent. Ash, who was on my first team, is, as far as I'm concerned, the best singer that's ever been on - but he didn't get through and I couldn't help that.
"The public need to think about whose album they'd buy rather than whose trousers or back story they like.
"Viewers get to know the contestants so well you forget it's about the talent."
The 'Bang Bang' singer also ruled out a return to the judging panel at the moment because she's so busy working on her new album.
Jessie said: "I've had no discussions about it. I don't have time to do a TV show when I'm putting out an album - which is what I tried to do with album two. The contestants deserve someone with the time and dedication they need. Never say never but I haven't been asked back. Or maybe I have and my manager hasn't told me. I'd like to think they'd ask me back."
The singer then quipped: "I might just buy a chair from Ikea and do it with Instagram videos at home!"

Robert Pattinson's sister has wowed the judges on 'The X Factor'.
Singer Lizzy Pattinson has already made it through the first round of auditions, which take place behind closed doors, and is expected to perform for Simon Cowell and co. once again this weekend at London's Wembley Arena.
A source said of her audition: "She blew them away with her husky, soulful vocals. She's different to usual 'X Factor' contestants - she really stands out. She could go all the way."
The 31-year-old singer has provided backing vocals on songs for various 'Twilight' soundtracks and even had a top 20 hit in the UK in 2003 with club song 'Let the Sunshine In'.
But Lizzy is said to be wary of being associated with her world famous sibling, Rob, 28, and is eager to succeed on her own merit on 'The X Factor'.
An insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She didn't mention she was related to him to any judges or producers. It's important to her she does not fall into the trap of just becoming 'Rob's sister'."
It's thought Lizzy is a "shoo-in" to progress on the show after her first audition proved a hit with Simon, Cheryl Cole, Louis Walsh and Mel B.

Mark Wright had a "vicious" row with best friend James 'Arg' Argent and his cousin Elliott Wright at a family wedding.
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star reportedly clashed with the the pair at his cousin Leah Wright's wedding in Alicante, Spain, earlier this month after the hunk and mum Carol demanded that his sister Jessica Wright had a go at singing on stage instead of Arg.
An insider said: "Other people at the wedding were shocked at how vicious things got and couldn't believe what they were seeing."
But fans of the ITV2 reality show hoping to see the argument on the programme will be left disappointed.
'TOWIE' bosses were not allowed to film Mark and his fiancée Michelle Keegan at the nuptials because he is no longer contracted to the show since departing in 2012 at the end of the third series.
The insider added to The Sun newspaper: "But while Mark and Michelle were at the wedding the whole time, producers couldn't film them and had to act like they weren't there."
Viewers of the programme saw part of the row when Arg and Jess clashed on Sunday night's (27.07.14) show, but Mark and Michelle were nowhere to be seen.
The 27-year-old star was one of the original cast members on the programme when the show started in October 2010.
He has since gone on to star in 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' and land TV shows including 'Mark Wright's Hollywood Nights' and 'Party Wright Around the World'.

Mary Berry won a burping competition whilst filming 'The Great British Bake Off'.
The BBC cooking show has earned plenty of fans due to its wholesome content and family friendly bakes, but the show's stars are less than exemplary behind the scenes, it seems, as they often take part in belching contests.
Presenter Mel Giedroyc revealed how judge Mary, 79, beat her, co-host Sue Perkins and fellow judge Paul Hollywood in one gassy burp-off.
She joked to Woman magazine: "I thought I'd clinched it but then Bezza came out with a long, loud one, and pipped me to the post. She's brilliant."
The fifth series of the hugely popular baking programme is set to start on August 6, moving to BBC One after launching on BBC Two in 2010.
Twelve contestants will be fighting against soggy bottoms and overworked pastry in a bid to impress Mary and her fellow judge Paul Hollywood.
Comedienne Jo Brand also joins the 'Bake Off' family this year, presenting a new spin-off show, 'An Extra Slice', on BBC Two.
The show will air immediately after the main programme and will feature celebrity guests and an interview with that week's eliminated contestant.

Emmerdale's Doug Potts is to return.
Actor Duncan Preston is to reprise his role more than three years after he last appeared on the ITV soap as Doug returns to the Yorkshire Dales for the wedding of his daughter Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy).
Viewers will be left wondering if Doug is really back to support his daughter - who is to marry Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) - or if he has an ulterior motive.
Duncan commented: "It is lovely to be back in Yorkshire as part of the 'Emmerdale' family. It feels like I have come home and I'm really excited about what is ahead for Doug".
Doug's return could also see him rekindle his romance with Diane Sugden (Elizabeth Estensen), whom he tried to woo before leaving the Dales to reunite with his estranged wife in 2011.
Duncan made his first appearance on 'Emmerdale' in 2007 but took a break in 2010 to pursue theatre work. His temporary departure became a permanent one, however, as executive producer Steve November revealed a return for Doug wasn't definite.
The door was left open for Duncan to return in future and he is expected to be back as a regular character from September.

Rylan Clark has landed a record deal.
The 'X Factor' star - who was branded a "joke" by judge Gary Barlow in 2012 - has bagged himself a deal with Universal and is planning to release a dance single under a different name to avoid immediate criticism.
A friend told The Sun newspaper: "Despite the abuse Rylan got from Gary Barlow about his voice, he has always wanted to release music.
"The tracks are dance-orientated so it is fair to say there will be some auto-tuning going on.
"He feels now is the time to get back into music as well as TV stuff. He's looking to put out the first track later this year under a different name to test the water. He is pretty confident people will like it."
After finding fame on the ITV singing competition two years ago, Rylan, 25, went on to win 'Celebrity Big Brother' in January 2013, before landing a hosting gig on Channel 5's 'Big Brother's Bit On the Side.'
It was rumoured earlier this year that the comedian was also being lined up alongside presenter Laura Whitmore, 28, to take over hosting duties from Caroline Flack and Matt Richardson on the 'X Factor' spin-off show, 'The Xtra Factor'.
However, Sarah-Jane Crawford was later confirmed to have bagged herself the job.

Ola Jordan thinks Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli should be dropped from 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The professional dancer believes the judging panel on the show needs to be shaken up, but says head judge Len Goodman and former ballerina Darcey Bussell deserve to keep their seats.
She told OK! magazine: "Every year they change the dancers and we have new presenters now, so why not swap the judges? They are too comfortable. Let's get them nervous about the next series.
"[Who would I get rid of?] Well, I love Len because he is from a ballroom background and he is great anyway, and Darcey is lovely too, so I would keep them. Let's just say that."
Ola's husband James Jordan was recently dropped as a professional on the show, and despite tension between him and Craig, she doesn't think the judge is the reason behind his axing.
She said: "I think if Craig had anything to do with it, James wouldn't have returned a long time ago."
Ola's comments about the panel come after James also said he felt Bruno and Craig deserved to be fired.
He said: "It's the two on the end I don't like. One of them, I don't understand a word he says so I would get rid of him.
"And Craig is just rude. He's not a nice person. I'd be a great judge. I wouldn't treat it like a pantomime."
