The second closest to Grimshaw is Greg James, who is reportedly paid between £150,000 and £199,999. So we believe, North also receives a salary close to that.

Jordan North Is Reportedly Single

Jordan is a recognizable voice on the radio and with 8 years of professional experience, he is still a relative newcomer. Nonetheless, his natural flair for radio and his English charm has made him a staple of British radio.

Jordan is not in a relationship with anyone at the moment. Instead of getting into a relationship, North chooses to focus on his budding career and enjoy his single life. 

During his interview, he revealed his love life and how breakups helped him understand himself. While getting into his relationship, he revealed that he has not lived with anyone so far.

“I’ve never lived with a partner. I’ve had them stay over but after two days I’m like you’re doing my head in, p*** off. Sleeping in bed with a partner is hard because I’m a starfish. I like to be full-on spread out.”

He also got candid with heartbreaks and lessons.

“People have broken up with me but I’m thick-skinned so it’s onwards and upwards. I don’t have a heart of stone but, you know. When I broke up with an ex I found out a lot about myself. I am very annoying and very needy and I wouldn’t have thought that. From my point of view, when it comes to breaking up, you should treat your relationship like a tax return. Always keep your receipts, because when you’re moving out you can be like, I paid for this DVD, I bought that from John Lewis".
