Pictured: Ola Jordan steps out looking miserable as it emerges that she was 'bullied' on Strictly Come Dancing

It's been a tough week for 31-year-old dancer Ola Jordan after it was reported that she had been bullied behind the scenes of Strictly Come Dancing.
The Polish star was spotted looking miserable as she left her Liverpool hotel on Thutsday after it was revealed that she left rehearsals for the show in tears and threatened to quit after an explosive row with rival dancer Karen Hauer.
Ola looked decidedly glum as she stepped out in a monochrome ensemble of an animal-pint scarf, black leather jacket, boots and leggings.

She wore her hair in a half-up, half down style and appeared to be wearing little makeup.
Newcomer Karen reportedly snapped at Ola last Monday after the professionals gathered together to practise a group dance for Saturday night's show.
Karen is reported to have said: 'You're a rubbish dancer, Ola. That's why you're always at the back.'

To make matters worse, fellow dancer, Pasha Kovalev is said to have had to hold Karen back from saying anything else as Ola ran from the studio in tears.
The dancer, who is tipped to win the show this year with partner Ashley Taylor Dawson, ran into her husband, James Jordan, telling him that she wasn't 'strong enough' to take such harsh comments.
On Friday, Venezuelan Karen, 31, apologised to the star after BBC bosses called a meeting and the pair are said to have agreed to forgive and forget.

After much thought, Ola decided to remain in the show because she didn't want to let down Ashley or her fans.

But things were looking up for Ola when she and Ashley scored an impressive 33 points on Saturday's show, compared to Karen and her partner, Hairy Bikers' Dave Myers who scored 19.
Ola, who has been performing on the show since 2006 is said to have been crying to her friends all week about the row, saying that she can't work out where the attack came from.
But despite this, a source for the BBC1 show has said that the pair have assured production staff that they will not let this argument get in the way of their performances.
MailOnline has directly contacted the BBC Press Office for a comment.
