Jordan North has broken his silence after quitting Radio 1.

It was revealed yesterday that Jordan’s position on Radio 1 was going to be filled by Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing.
The 35-year-old announced that he is going to co-host the Drive Time slot alongside Vick Hope starting on Monday, March 4.
Taking to Instagram, Jamie wrote: “Well this is big news…. 👀”
