Is Jordan North married, who is his partner and how did he get on Radio 1?

Jordan North is proving to be a big hit on the radio by taking part in a 100 mile Comic Relief rowing challenge following his success on I'm A Celebrity 2020 - but is Jordan North married and who is his partner?
The Radio 1 DJ has set himself his toughest challenge yet - over five exhausting days, Jordan is rowing home from London 100 miles north to his hometown of Burnley... for eight hours a day, alone, along the nation’s canals.
He had to be carried away from his boat on day three of the challenge as he pulled into Rugby after completing 40 miles of rowing to raise money for Red Nose Day 2022 (opens in new tab) but he's vowed to carry on.
Who is Jordan North?
Jordan is a 32-year-old radio presenter, who regularly presents on BBC Radio 1.
He joined the station in 2014 and has become Radio 1’s much-loved ‘supply teacher’ ever since - often covering Nick Grimshaw and Scott Mills. As of September 2020, Jordan was the new regular weekend host of the 11am-1pm slot before moving to the Going Home slot 3.30pm-6pm slot with Vick Hope (opens in new tab).
Despite rubbing shoulders with A-listers on the radio and appearing in I'm A Celebrity this year in which he was announced as the first runner up, the York-born star confessed that he actually 'doesn't think he's a celebrity' at all. "I don't really lead a celebrity lifestyle" he admitted.

But he is currently feeling the strain of his 100 mile Comic Relief rowing challenge when he updated fans on his journey. He posted, "Broken. Physically, mentally and emotionally broken!
"I didn’t want to get in the boat this morning and row another 23 miles, but with all your support, love, and donations you helped me get through it.
"Thank you so so much for helping raise over £280,000 so far!!!!! If you can, please donate by clicking the link in bio. ❤️❤️
"Final stretch tomorrow and I’m ROWING HOME TO BURNLEY! Listen from 8AM on @bbcradio1."

Is Jordan North vegan?
No, Jordan is not vegan - something that was very apparent when he took on the first eating bushtucker trial and how to swallow plates of cow's tongue and sheep eye. His vomiting sparked Ofcom complaints. However, Jordan did take part in Veganuary - where people go vegan for the month of January.
