A former I’m A Celebrity star issued an emotional statement as he announced his show exit.
Jordan Banjo, who took part in both the main series of I’m A Celeb in 2016 and the South Africa special in 2023, made a significant announcement on Thursday (December 4).
After five and a half years at the helm of KISS radio’s Breakfast Show, Jordan and his Diversity co-star Perri Kiely have disclosed that they will be bidding farewell to the job at the end of January 2026.
The pair have chosen to step back from their daily breakfast responsibilities to concentrate on what promises to be an extremely busy 2026, with a new Diversity tour and much more on the horizon.
Announcing the news on their show this morning, Jordan and Perri stated: “We have some very big news… there’s no easy way to say this, we are moving on from KISS Breakfast,” reports the Express.

“It’s been quite the journey for the last five and a half years and we’ve spent every single morning with you guys. It’s been an absolute pleasure, a privilege to wake up with you guys and have a laugh. It’s been the most special years of our lives, genuinely, and we’ve enjoyed every single moment.
“We’re going to get some lie ins back which is going to be a little bit weird to adjust to, but we do get to focus on all the other things that we get to do. We’re about to go on our biggest Diversity tour yet and 2026 is going to be really busy.
“We’re really excited about all those projects but we are really, really sad to be leaving.”
Paul Gerrard, Content Director at KISS and Hits Radio, expressed his gratitude: “Huge thanks to Jordan and Perri who have brought all the crazy energy, vibes, and creativity to KISS Breakfast on their time on the show – making mornings worth waking up for!”

“There’s no doubt that the KISS studios are going to miss having them around but we’re wishing them both all the best for everything they’re getting up to next.”
Information about the future of KISS Breakfast will be revealed “very soon”.
Jordan and Perri first shot to fame when their dance group Diversity triumphed in the third series of Britain’s Got Talent in 2009.
In addition to performing at the Royal Variety Performance multiple times, the troupe has also embarked on several UK tours and released their own fitness DVD.
Jordan has made two appearances on I’m A Celeb, co-hosted The Greatest Dancer with Alesha Dixon, was the first to be eliminated on ITV’s The Masked Dancer, and appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox alongside Perri.
