Jordan north gay

Jordan North devastated Radio 1 listeners when his departure from the station was announced after 10 years.

It was announced in a brief social media statement last week that the much-loved presenter, who most recently presented the drivetime show alongside Vick Hope, was bidding BBC R1 farewell and has a potential new job lined up at Capital.

The nature of the announcement left many fans feeling blindsided and confused, with many pointing out how ‘unexpected’ and ‘sudden’ his exit is.

Jordan himself addressed the move, thanking his co-workers and praising his time at the station in an emotional Instagram post.

His shock departure has left many fans wondering about Jordan’s loved ones, who are sure to be supporting him in his exit and cheering him on through his next adventure.

Jordan frequently posts photos alongside his family on social media and has even had them appear on his radio shows, though he is more secretive about his relationships.

As the radio and reality TV star embarks on his next career adventure, we take a look inside his life away from the airwaves and television screens including his military hero family and one romantic ‘regret’ he probably wishes he didn’t share.

Who are Jordan North’s family?

Jordan was born on February 14, 1990, in York to parents Graham and Wendy North, who have regularly appeared on his radio show.

Jordan wrote: 'Hello everyone. He has three brothers – Ryan, Bradley, and Dominic.

Military hero Graham served in the Queen’s Lancashire Regiment between 1982 and 2006, with the family living in Northern Ireland during the late nineties.

Speaking to The Independent, Jordan revealed the terrifying moment his family just managed to escape the Omagh bomb attack while living in Co Tyrone.

He said that on the day of the car bombing in 1998, which saw 29 killed and 200 injured, his family were planning to visit Omagh town but decided not to.

‘It was an awful time.

Dad rushed us all into the car because he knew we had to be back on camp. But that is not the reason why I am going in. The fact I am going to be doing it doesn't seem real.'

In 2021, he told the Mirror: 'I've always tried to keep things pretty private. However, it appears, according to his social media, that Jordan is not married and is currently single. 

How did Jordan North get on Radio 1?

Obsessed with radio from a young age, Jordan pursued his passion at a local station in Preston as well as taking on a part-time gig on the airwaves at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. 

After graduating from Sunderland University (from which he was awarded an honorary fellowship, according to Jordan’s Instagram profile), Jordan worked on a number of shows such as Hits Radio, Capital FM and BBC Radio 5live, and eventually getting a weekend presenting stint in 2014 at BBC Radio 1. 

The self-proclaimed ‘supply teacher’ began filling in for long standing DJs like Greg James and Scott Mills before finally bagging a permanent slot with co-host Vick Hope in September 2020. 

The pair now host the Going Home slot from 3:30-6pm which is often filled with entertaining blunders that make the headlines. 

Where is Jordan North from?

He regrets that now.’

William laughed: ‘We even talked about selling Jordan North dressing gown chords on tour because it’s going to haunt him.’
