The former I’m A Celeb campmate has not revealed what his future career plans are yet, but fans are convinced he is going to join Capital Radio.
A source told The Sun: “Jordan is moving to Capital FM to replace Roman and he could not be more excited.”
“It is absolutely huge for him and although it’s hard to leave the BBC he is excited to get started on Capital.”
The source added: “Jordan’s decision has been a hard pill to swallow for the BBC but there was nothing they could do to change his mind.”
Roman Kemp was first reported to be leaving Capital radio back in October last year.
The 31-year-old has hosted the channel’s breakfast show for the last seven years alongside Chris Stark and Siân Welby.
