Best known for his BBC Radio 1 drive-time show with Vick Hope, Jordan is also a familiar face on the TV after placing runner up in series 20 of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! where fans fell in love with his Northern charm and quick wit. 

Despite rubbing shoulders with A-listers on the radio and TV, the York-born star confessed that he actually ‘doesn't think he's a celebrity’ at all and admitted, “I don't really lead a celebrity lifestyle.”

Jordan is also celebrated for his impressive challenges for charity. In 2022, he took on a brutal 100-mile rowing challenge for Comic Relief, raising a total of £796,584 for the charity.
