JORDAN North has taken a rather cheeky swipe at BBC Radio 1 after moving to a rival station.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun at Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard, Jordan, 35, gushed about how well he’s been settling into his new gig over the last 12 months.

The I’m A Celeb alum revealed he’s had the “best year” of his life since quitting his role at the Beeb and moving over to Capital’s breakfast show.
When asked about how life’s been since the job switch, he said: “Oh, honestly, they have been the best people to work for.
“It was definitely the right decision.
“It’s been just over 12 months and it has been the best year of my life.”

Continuing to rave over the change of employer, he said: “It’s been so good, we’ve interviewed absolute megastars.
“And what’s lovely now is friends and family and people that have come over to Capital have said, ‘Oh, you really suit the station. It’s like you’ve been there for years.’
“And that is the biggest compliment.”
He added: “This breakfast show has got a massive buzz about it at the moment, something which we never thought we’d be able to do after just 12 months.
“It feels like everybody’s tuning in and listening.
“And everyone’s copying us as well, which is always a good sign,” he added with a grin.

Last year, after a decade at the BBC, it was announced he was leaving the Drive Time show with Vick Hope after four years.
Speaking to The Sun last year amid his big move, Jordan opened up about getting the huge opportunity at Capital and being unable to turn it down.
“I wasn’t looking to leave but then this opportunity came up and you don’t turn Capital down,” Jordan admitted.
“I know that sounds corny but it’s a massive breakfast show.
“I told three people, because I had to keep it quiet, and they all said, ‘Go for it’.”
At the time, Jordan also spoke about his pals at the BBC with fond words.
“I have loads of good friends there [at the BBC].
“When I rang Vick she was great.
“They all texted me before the first show.
“Greg James said good luck.
“They pit us as rivals but really we’re all mates,” he affirmed at the time.
