Jordan North made a comparison to his time on I'm A Celebrity before defeat to Newcastle sealed his beloved Burnley's relegation from the Premier League on Sunday.
On his way to finishing second to Giovanna Fletcher on the ITV show at the end of 2020, Radio 1 host Jordan made no secret of his love for the Clarets, famously shouting "happy place, happy place," when he got scared during trials, before revealing to presenters Ant and Dec that his 'happy place' was Burnley's home ground of Turf Moor.
Like many Burnley fans, University of Sunderland graduate Jordan was full of nerves before his team took on Newcastle United at Turf Moor. To stay up, they had to match whatever result relegation rivals Leeds got away to Brentford. And, as he prepared to head to his 'happy place' for one, Jordan confessed he was so nervous he hadn't been able to eat, tweeting: "I’ve just tried to eat a slice of toast, got two bites in and I couldn’t stomach it. I’ve never known nerves like this before….and I’ve been in a coffin full of snakes. COME ON BURNLEY!!!!"
