And celebrating his new gig, Jordan North decided to get suited and booted to head to Wimbledon on Thursday for day four of the annual tennis tournament.

Jordan added a stylish brown pocket square to his blazer and teamed his smart outfit with a pair of dark jeans and complementing brogues.
After checking out the action unfolding on court, Jordan stopped by the Pimm’s tent in the grounds to quench his thirst with Wimbledon’s signature cocktail.
As the tennis championships returned after taking a hiatus last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, it was a star-studded affair on the forecourt ahead of Thursday’s matches.
Jordan enjoyed a sweet reunion with his former I’m A Celeb campmate Giovanna Fletcher, who went on to win the 2020 series held in the UK at a castle in Wales for the first time in the show’s history.

Jordan’s appearance at Wimbledon comes after it was confirmed he will be replacing Nick Grimshaw on his Radio 1 Drivetime show.
Regular host Nick has decided to quit Radio 1 after 14 years on air, with his replacements being revealed as Jordan and Vick Hope, who will co-host together.
Revealing his exit, Nick said in a statement shared via Twitter: ”I have some news guys, some big news. It’s big news for me to announce. I want to do it at the start of the show otherwise I’ll be weird for the next two hours.
‘I’ve been thinking about it for a little while, after 14 years of working here I’ve made a big decision.’
He continued: ‘It [is] a huge decision, an exciting one and a happy one. It’s something I’ve given a lot of thought. Radio 1 is home to me. It’s the only station I’ve wanted to work.

‘I was thinking the past 18 months have been the most surreal moments ever. A lot of you guys, you take stock in times like this and look at your life. I looked at mine and I wanted to make that change.
‘My childhood dream was to work on Radio 1 and I have been lucky enough to make that dream come true.
‘It has been everything I’d imagined and even more. I grew up wanting to connect with people and to feel accepted and the Radio 1 listeners gave me that and let me be part of their daily life, for which I will be eternally grateful.
‘But over the last few months I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my future and after 14 years, I’ve made the decision that it’s time for me to move on – I’d like to thank the listeners as without them none of this could have been possible and the Radio 1 family, who have been such a huge part of my life. Thank you thank you thank you.’

Jordan and Vick will take over from Nick from Monday 6 September.
Radio host Jordan appeared as a cover presenter on Radio 1 from 2014, and four years later was announced as the new host for the station’s Greatest Hits show on Sunday mornings.
In September last year, Jordan was announced as the new regular 11am-1pm weekend host on BBC Radio 1. He also was the main cover presented for Nick and Scott Mills.
Speaking of his new radio gig, Jordan has said: ‘I am absolutely chuffed to be making the move over to Radio 1 daytime and even happier to be working alongside Vick.
‘Grimmy is a Radio 1 legend so we definitely have big shoes to fill but will work extremely hard to make sure afternoons on Radio 1 still sound superb.
‘I am super excited to get started and look forward to this next chapter with Vick and the rest of my Radio 1 family.’
Good run: Nick announced his exit via Twitter and told fans it had been a ‘hard decision’ to make to leave the station after working there for over a decade
