Pin-up: Ola models a lingerie range

Ola Jordan will set pulses racing after Strictly Come Dancing by ­stripping off for glossy magazine Playboy, writes Simon Boyle in the Sunday People.

The sexy 33-year-old dancer was planning to waltz away from Strictly after nine years and bust-ups with show bosses.

Now Playboy, owned by ageing tycoon Hugh Hefner, will ­welcome the Polish-born blonde with open arms.

A source said the magazine that has featured the likes of Kate Moss, Marilyn Monroe and Kelly Brook is keen to shoot Ola as soon as possible.

He said: “Ola is absolutely stunning, and has a ­massive following in the UK so it’s no surprise Playboy is be keen to get her.

“She looks ­fantastic on ­camera – and has a great personality and the sort of confidence it takes to ­really shine on a shoot – they know it’s about much more than being beautiful but Ola has got what it takes.”

 A landslide near a jade mine in northern Myanmar killed up to 70 people and left more than 100 missing, most of them villagers sifting through a huge mountain of tailings and waste, a community leader and businessman said Sunday.

The collapse occurred Saturday afternoon in Kachin state, said Brang Seng, a jade businessman, describing rows of bodies pulled from the debris.

"There were more than 70," he said. "This is awfully bad."

Myanmar only recently started moving from a half-century of dictatorship to democracy. Hpakant, the epicenter of the country's jade boom, remains desperately poor, with bumpy dirt roads and constant electricity blackouts.
