Jordan North once shocked fans when he shared a 'kinky' bedroom secret.
The radio presenter joined Capital FM this morning to present the primetime Breakfast Show for the first time alongside his co-hosts Chris Stark and Sian Welby. It comes after the York-born star announced in February that he would be stepping down from BBC Radio 1 after 10 years.
Following his shock exit, the station said Jordan had been "behind some of the most hilarious and entertaining moments on air" and was a "constant source of inspiration for younger presenters". The 34-year-old, who hosted the Drivetime show alongside Vick Hope, was replaced by Jamie Laing.
Yesterday, Jordan took to Instagram to share the news of his Capital debut with his 850,000 followers. He wrote: "The all new @capitalofficial breakfast starts TOMORROW 6-10AM with me, @chrisstark and @sianwelby and we'd love you to join us! We'll play all the best tunes and have a proper good laugh. I am so excited…(but also a bit bloody nervous)."

He later bagged a gig as a researcher on BBC Radio 5 Live and began working as a presenter for Capital Manchester and Rock FM. In 2014, he began covering for Radio One, filling in for other presenters.

Since 2018, Jordan has hosted a podcast called Help I Sexted My Boss, and in 2021, he landed the Drivetime show. When the news was made public, Jordan said in a statement: "I am absolutely chuffed to be making the move over to Radio 1 daytime and even happier to be working alongside Vick."
That same year, speaking ahead of his time in I'm A Celebrity, Jordan revealed that he was single. He said: "I am single at the moment. But that is not the reason why I am going in. I just want to have fun and this is something that will stick with you forever. The fact I am going to be doing it doesn't seem real."

Aside from that admission, the radio host has kept his love life largely under wraps and hasn't disclosed any dates in the public eye. In 2021, he confessed to the Mirror: "I've always tried to keep things pretty private. It's sometimes quite unnerving when people are asking about your personal life. But you know what, it's part and parcel of the job."
Jordan previously revealed that he's never lived with anyone, but has referred to a mystery ex-partner. It's believed he isn't married and doesn't have kids, but is a proud godfather to his best mate's daughter. "How do all of my friends have kids, yet the biggest life decision I've ever made is going from skinny jeans to a slim fit?" he joked.
But he did once reveal a kinky confession on air - that he lived to regret. His podcast co-host William Hanson told the Metro in 2020: "At the start of series five, one of our listeners was constantly sliding in my DMs asking 'Is Jordan kinky?' Anyway, I thought I'd ask Jordan on the podcast. He then admitted he had on a previous occasion been tied up with a dressing gown chord. He regrets that now. We even talked about selling Jordan North dressing gown chords on tour because it's going to haunt him."
