JORDAN North has finally confirmed he’s replacing Roman Kemp on Capital Breakfast – and who his co-hosts will be.
Last week, it was revealed Jordan, 34, had signed a big money deal to join Global after quitting Radio 1.
Now, it’s been confirmed from the horse’s mouth that he will hit the airwaves in April after much speculation.
Fans will be delighted to hear Jordan will be joined by his old Radio 1 colleague Chris Stark, as well as Sian Welby in the studio.
In a joint Instagram post with the station’s account, the former I’m A Celeb campmate can be seen posing in the iconic studio.
The caption read: “Welcome to Capital @jordannorth1, tap the link in our bio for all the deets!”

“Together with Sian, the three of us are so excited to bring you the new Capital Breakfast Show. It’s going to be a LOT of fun!”

“The capital breakfast show has always been about genuine friendship and honest conversation and that’s why I know the capital audience are going to love Jordan in the same way they do Roman.

“I want the listeners to welcome him with open arms, and treat him like they do us!
“Jordan has some of the most ridiculous true stories that I can’t wait for people to hear.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun! Strap yourselves in, it’s gonna be another wild ride!”
