I don't like to pry, and I'm aware such a thing can be a private matter, but I noticed Jordan North has been joking more about sexuality recently. On Judge Jordan he said he was bisexual. Is this the case? He doesn't talk about having a girlfriend.

Good thing about Jordan I feel he’s decent to tell a joke in a respectful and non-offensive way. I think it doesn’t matter to the listener his sexuality is. I don’t expect presenters to divulge their personal relationships not unless they want to. If Jordan says he’s bisexual, he’s bisexual. The only one that knows Jordan North’s sexuality is Jordan. I take his or anyones word on their personal life as its no one else’s He might not talk about having a girlfriend boyfriend as he may not be in a committed relationship at the minute.

That said I know that sharing something as personal will gain much respect and the listeners would find it may help them to hear. But he shares what he likes.

For what it’s worth he has talked about previous girlfriends in the past, but I don’t think this really matters or needs a thread for that matter.

Somebody's sexuality is irrelevant in 2023.

 

It should be, but at the same time, he should feel he can say if it's the case.

Everybody's outlook is different on their sexuality.  

I am not in the closet but I don't talk about the fact I am "mostly gay" in work.  However, as it isn't a secret I can't believe it isn't widely known.  Nor do I care.

He can say or not say it but agree with @R1Fan1 that its doesn’t deserve its own gossip topic.  We should be passed the point and move on from sexuality gossip and poking noses in peoples private lives. @AndyK77 If you are bisexual its not ‘mostly gay’.

Perfectly summed up here a year or two ago:

Quote

If Jordan wanted to talk about it, he would – and the pressure he’s bound to be under should everyone continue searching for, or talking about his sexuality is something no one should face. Whether Jordan North is gay, straight, bisexual or beyond is completely his business, and given he’s been on our radio waves for years now and our TV screens for weeks, if he wanted to share that he would’ve already.

Sexuality is a spectrum and I feel that description fits me better than bisexual.

I agree that when it comes to our own identities whatever language you use is fine and I don’t have the right to tell you words to use. So I respect that.

Does he do a good radio show and entertain people? Think that's kind of what really matters here.

He may or may not be. But even if he is, it's probably not his style to keep bringing it up and throwing the fact at people in every link. Someone's sexuality has way too much fuss and focus these days anyway imo, people can possess other qualities too. It's not all about what and who they are attracted to, infact it's entitled to be a private matter for them anyway.

on the grid.

Yep to be honest whether Jordan is straight or not is his own business at the end of the day. Plus it's clear Vick & him keep some parts of their private lives off the radio - many a time you'll hear the phrase 'Jordan/Vick doesn't talk about those things' when it comes to their relationships and there's only ever passing comments about Vick's relationship to Calvin Harris that you wouldn't catch unless you knew about it.

I don't listen to it too regularly but when I'm heard him on 'Help I'm Sexted My Boss' he does come across as accepting and open-minded with William Hanson being a big friend of his.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
