Ola Jordan opts for garish outfit as she makes shameless plug for bookmaker at Royal Ascot

Ola Jordan opts for garish outfit as she makes shameless plug for bookmaker at Royal Ascot  

It's Britain's most valuable race meeting, attracting many of the world's finest racehorses to compete for more than £5.5milllion in prize money. 
And while Royal Ascot in Berkshire attracts a refined crowd - it is after all a favourite of Queen Elizabeth -  Ola Jordan, 32, stood out in a garish outfit while making a shameless plug for bookmaker Coral on day two of proceedings on Wednesday.
The Strictly Come Dancing professional wore a frumpy dress with a jaunty hat to the races but it was her clutch bag, featuring Coral branding, which grabbed attention.

The couture ensemble was made by designer Ben de Lisi from jockey silks and commissioned by the bookies. 
Ola wore her blonde hair in an elegant updo as she took in proceedings at the racecourse.
Meanwhile, she has been a Strictly Come Dancing stalwart for nearly 10 years.
But Ola has admitted she's ready to give it all up as soon as she falls pregnant, as she knows her 'clock is ticking'.
The professional dancer reveals in her episode of Seven Days With... on ITVBe - in which she appears alongside husband James - that she'd give up her career as one of TV's top dancers to become a mother.

In quotes revealed in The Mirror , she said: 'I know my clock is ticking. I'm 32 now. If I had a baby it would be unfair to leave it with James. That's how I feel.'
She went on to explain that it's a completely different situation for her, as she couldn't be a dancer as well as raising a child.
'Strictly is different from doing a normal job. But I also wanted to be the first female pro dancer to last for 10 years,' she added.
OIa first appeared on the BBC's top celebrity dancing programme back in 2006, after having moved to the UK from Poland when she was 17.

Married to fellow dancer James, who also appeared on Strictly from 2006 until 2013, Ola is keen to start a family with her man, who heaps praise on her in the special fly-on-the-wall documentary.
It must have been a difficult situation for the star to deal with, then, when a month ago she was rumoured to be expecting a baby.
When appearing at the Lorraine High Street Fashion Awards in mid-May, speculation swirled that the pretty blonde star was pregnant.
However, she quickly took to Twitter to quash the rumours, that had been rumbling on the social networking site due to her slightly fuller, curvier figure.
'BREAKING NEWS.... I'm just fat,' she wrote.

Later, James - who famously appeared on Celebrity Big Brother last year - added his own two cents.
'Good to see your not in denial babe...Don't worry about what others think & at least u can say u r with Brad Pitt!'.
The couple, who have been together for around 12 years, have previously discussed their desire to have children.
In March James admitted the pair were feeling 'broody' after more than a decade of marriage.
'I'm definitely feeling broody. We'd love to have kids at some point,' he told Hello! Magazine.

'The ideal number would be two because when you've got more than two children things like hotel rooms and cars can be a bit more difficult,' he added.
And Ola has said in the past that she hopes to be 'blessed' with children: 'Babies will come one day, but not now I'm in the middle of the show.
'Let's hope God lets me have children because that will be amazing,' she told OK Magazine.
Elsewhere, Ola suffered a professional blow earlier this year when she sustained an injury after appearing on Channel 4's The Jump.
'It would be unfair to leave it with James': Ola also added that she wouldn't want to keep working and leave their child at home with husband James Jordan

She was forced to pull out of taking part on the winter sports-themed show and her future on Strictly was in jeopardy after damaging her knee and hip during a training session at an indoor training centre.
However, she has made a remarkable recovery and will be appearing on the next season of Strictly Come Dancing.
Over the years, Ola has one the show once with journalist Chris Hollins in 2009, and has also been partnered with the likes of Andrew Castle, Sid Owen, Ashley Taylor Dawson, Paul Daniels, Robbie Savage and, most recently in 2014, Steve Backshall.
