Strictly Come Dancing star Ola Jordan has been a victim of an attack.

The professional dancer was punched in the face by a woman during a day out at a South London bowling alley.

It seems likely she was the intended target, as witnesses say the unnamed female leapt across the lanes specifically to reach the Polish athlete.

The 28-year-old was attending a friend's birthday party at the Croydon venue when the unprovoked feud occurred.

Her dancer husband James, who also appears on the show, was outside at the time of the incident.

Her male companion was later arrested and police were forced to caution him for threatening behaviour.
A source told The Sun: 'Ola could not believe it. This woman came flying at her and smashed her really hard.

'She was laughing and so were her friends. It was even more shocking as she was there with her kids.

'Ola's the nicest person you could wish to meet. She was left a total mess.'

A spokeswoman for Ola said she was 'incredibly shocked' by the assault.

Ola was paired with Paul Daniels for the latest series of the reality show, but the magician was voted off just two weeks into the competition.

She previously triumphed in 2009, winning the series with BBC Breakfast's Chris Hollins.

The Latin dance specialist was also victorious after teaming up with Harry Judd of McFly for a one-off Strictly special for Children in Need 2010.

The couple won, beating Rochelle Wiseman of The Saturdays.
