Ola previously admitted she was “appalled” and “disappointed” by what she perceived to be her “mommy body” after sharing an unflattering photo from the holiday with her Instagram followers in July.
But she looked better than ever on Tuesday in the shimmering bikini that once again hugged her toned figure.
In the before and after video, Ola could be seen leaping into the air only to land on her feet five months later in the same swimsuit, showing off her transformation.

Making a switch: Ola previously admitted she was “appalled” and “disappointed” in what she perceived to be her “mommy body” after sharing an unflattering vacation photo with Instagram followers in July
She captioned the clip: “Yeah, it only took 2 seconds…plus 5 months and a lot of dancing and dieting and sweating.”
‘When we started documenting our fitness journey, we didn’t know if we would ever get to where we wanted to be. So we’re really surprised that we have a second video to follow up on the first.
“Don’t say ‘never doubt’ because no matter how determined you are, even for professional dancers there are always bumps in the road and that’s why it’s great to have some support in reaching your goals.”

It comes after the couple revealed they were told to lose weight if they wanted another baby, after being classified as “obese”.
The former Strictly pros made the confession while appearing in Lorraine on Tuesday, after bouncing back and flaunting their combined 6.5-stone weight loss.
Ola admitted she was “huge” and “needed a wake-up call” after “hiding a lot” and recalled avoiding a party because she didn’t want to dress herself.

James, 44, told the host: “She’s an IVF baby and we’ve been told we’re in the obese category.”
“Ola is 5-foot-3 and I was almost 12, so we were in the obese category and they told us if we wanted another baby, we had to lose weight.”
His wife added: ‘He was huge and I was huge! I needed a wake up call and hid a lot and didn’t take pictures with Ella on vacation.
‘We needed a wake-up call!’ James, 44, told the host: “She’s an IVF baby and we’ve been told we’re in the obese category.”
‘There was a party, I didn’t want to get dressed and James left without me and I sat on the sofa with a glass of wine and posted it. I was not myself, it was very difficult.
Ola continued: “We used to go to the gym together, but now we have a baby and we need her so much.” We get lost dancing in our kitchen and Ella says, “Mommy, look, I can do it too.” I wanted to put on my old catsuit.
James chimed in: ‘Ola has lost all this weight and doesn’t have to buy a new wardrobe.

‘I couldn’t make my own shoelaces. I had to sit down. My belly got in the way. I was in a bad place with my dad’s death. With the confinement you also went one way or the other.
Ola recently showed off her astonishing 3.5 weight loss by slipping back into her favorite catsuit, after thinking she would never be able to fit it again.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, the TV personality uploaded a video at the start of her transformation journey, telling fans that she hopes she can put it back on one day.
After five months of hard work, Ola was elated as she slipped back into the daring number that plunged to her belly button.
Wow! James said: ‘I couldn’t fix my own laces. I had to sit down. My belly got in the way’
At the start of her fitness journey, she said: “So I’ve been sorting out my wardrobes and look what I found, my catsuit.” One of my favorite catsuits to wear.
‘I mean I wouldn’t be able to fit into it now. It’s like half my body fits together, but maybe one day…’
The video then fast-forwards five months to show the professional dancer showing off her toned figure while going braless in the sheer, sparkly catsuit.
She was like, ‘Yeah, I’m back in my catsuit!’
‘Now I’m back!’ Ola recently showed off her astounding 3.5 weight loss by slipping back into his favorite catsuit, after thinking she might never fit in it again.
Ola captioned the video: ‘I’m so glad I put this in the back of my closet! My classic catsuit.
“In the summer, I looked to it for motivation to keep going when we both decided we needed to move on and make a change. But I didn’t think I’d ever be able to get back in!
‘Maybe you have something in your wardrobe that you’d like to wear again? Let me know what, maybe your wedding dress? It’s a great way to stay focused if you’ve decided this is the year you’re doing to get fit and healthy.’
The husband and wife duo have just launched their ‘Dance shred’ program, which is a 12-week format with a diet plan and fun cardio dance routines.
Ola said he used to weigh 8 and now weighs 11½, while former dancer James got 5 and weighs 16.
Before and after: It comes after Ola showed off her slimmest physique when she donned the green bikini on Friday, five months after that “unflattering” holiday husband James.
Ola told MailOnline: ‘I feel like I’ve lost a whole person.
‘A size 14 was the largest. I’m also pretty short so a size 14 for some people isn’t big and that’s the problem with weight and sizes because some people say a 14 isn’t big. But being 5 foot 3 and a size 14 is big.
I am now a size eight. I missed my old self. There’s nothing wrong with admitting it.
“People now preach body positivity and they accept it, but I really missed the old me and that’s not just my body, it was with dance and everything. Health is important to me and I want to stay healthy for as long as I can.’
Old times: Ola recently revealed that he used to weigh 8th before moving up to 11½, while James donned 5th and weighs 16th (both pictured in 2012)
