Capital Breakfast host Jordan North shocks fans as he reveals painful-looking and swollen eye

Daily Mail​2 days ago
Jordan North looked almost unrecognisable as he revealed his painful-looking stye on Capital Radio's Instagram Story on Tuesday.
In a new clip, the Capital Breakfast host, 35, showed off his rather red and swollen eye to the camera.
According to the Mayo Clinic, a stye is a red, painful lump near the edge of your eyelid that may look like a boil or a pimple.
A stye usually forms on the outside of your eyelid, but sometimes it can form on the inner part of your eyelid. In most cases, a stye will begin to disappear on its own in a couple of days.
The Radio show's social media team took to their Instagram story to share another close-up, jokingly mocking the star's 'new look', and asked followers to help them 'name the stye'.
They captioned the hilarious post: 'The beautiful @Jordannorth1 has a "face for radio this morning" Meet " Harry STYles".
They proceeded to share several funny puns, including: 'Live and let STYE', 'Steak and ale STYE', 'Stye with a smile', 'Stya Jama', 'Jordan and the pink eye peas', 'STYE Richie'.
Fans also jumped on the bandwagon and began sharing their creative puns with the hit music station.
It's been an action packed week on the breakfast show, with Jess Glynne finally meeting the Jet2 holiday voiceover star Zoe Lister on the programme after their aeroplane advert became the latest trend on TikTok.
Their viral sound has been all over social media this summer - with users adding the soundtrack over clips of travel fails - and while their advert has become a favourite for influencers, Jess, 35, and Zoe, 43, had never officially met.
Now the duo have given their fans what they wanted as they recreated the advert live in the Capital Breakfast studio.
Speaking with Jordan and Chris Stark on their morning show, Zoe revealed that she has developed such a close bond with the singer that she feels she is 'in her band'.
Referring to the song, Jordan said: 'It genuinely is a banger. You go in any club, and it sounds so good.'
To which Chris said: 'But it's wild how you always hear that song whenever you go on a plane, and then it's in the advert.
The Radio show's social media team took to their Instagram story to share another close-up, jokingly mocking the star's 'new look', and asked followers to help them 'name the stye'
'And then, for reasons no one really understands, this summer, it just exploded on TikTok. Has it surprised you how massive this has all gone?'
Jess replied: 'Yeah, it's a massive surprise, one hundred per cent. It's the most amazing thing to see, though.
'It's mad because I feel like when I do my gigs, I feel like when I go to sing the hook, I feel like they're waiting for me to go ''nothing beats a Jet 2 holiday''. It is tempting, but I need to take this seriously, it can't be a joke.'
Chris replied: 'Well, we want to make this moment happen, Jess. I'm not going to lie, we want to do something very special this morning.
'The whole of the UK is so excited about this. I've had so many messages over the weekend. So, we've not just invited you guys.
'Obviously Rudimental are here, Jess Glynne you're here, we've also invited the voice of the Jet 2 holiday advert. She's here, please welcome to the show, Zoe!
To which Zoe quipped: 'We're bonded, I feel like I'm basically in your band now.
To finish the conversation, Chris said: 'The dream here is getting you guys to do the sound, that everyone is hearing, live together!'
It took a while for people to realise that the voice behind the viral - and widely spoofed - Jet2Holidays advert belongs to the British soap actress.
The UK-based organisation's ad, which features popstar Jess's 'Hold My Hand', shows a family of four enjoying a fun-filled holiday abroad while the voiceover skips through the offers and discounts available.
The high-energy voice that viewers hear throughout the 30-second 'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday' ad has become almost as distinctive as Glynne's UK chart-topping track - but until recently, people had no idea that it belonged to ex-Hollyoaks actress Zoë.
Zoe played Zoe Carpenter in the Channel 4 show between 2006 and 2010, making a brief return in April 2017.
A writer as well as a performer, mother-of-two Zoe has also contributed to 56 episodes of the soap, which marked its 30th anniversary this year.
Other past acting jobs include roles in Midsomer Murders, Crime Stories and Staff Room.
According to her management company, Harvey Voice's website, she has been the voice of Jet2Holidays for four years.
Yet, it was only relatively recently that the mother-of-two revealed herself as the voice of the ad on TikTok, much to fans' delight.

Titanic's final moments recreated in metaverse VR experience

The metaverse allows visitors to a new London exhibition to experience one of the most famous stories of the Titanic in VR — survivors reported that the orchestra continued to play, even as the ship was sinking. At Legend of the Titanic, visitors immerse themselves in a 360-degree projection to witness key moments of the fateful journey, including the moment the ship hit an iceberg. It took more than 10 months with 55 animators working on the project with cutting-edge technology to immerse visitors in every element of the Titanic. Legend of the Titanic opens on Friday, 25 July at Dock X in Canada Water, south London.

New Edinburgh music venues land share of £14m cash pot

The Wolfson Foundation has agreed to support the creation of a new National Centre for Music and concert hall at the former Royal High School, one of the city's most prominent landmarks, on Calton Hill. It will also be funding Edinburgh's first purpose-built concert hall for a century, which is earmarked for a site behind a Royal Bank of Scotland building in the New Town. Read more: The two projects, which have both been in the planning for more than decade, will get a share of £14m worth of grants announced by a UK-wide charity. And it is hoped they will be able to secure further support as the projects progress in the next few years. The Dunard Centre will be Edinburgh's first purpose-built concert hall for more than a century. (Image: David Chipperfield Architects) Both projects are being largely bankrolled by Scotland's biggest arts philanthropist, Carol Colburn Grigor. Her Dunard Fund has committed at least £45m to the £69m National Centre for [[Music]] project. It recently secured a pledge of up to £5m from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and £2.85m from a separate charitable trust set up by the late British philanthropist Julia Rausing. A new National Centre for Music will be created on Edinburgh's Calton Hill under plans to transform the former Royal High School building. (Image: Supplied) The Dunard Centre, which is expected to cost more than £115m to build, has secured £80m of private support, including £35m from Ms Grigor's charity, as well as £25m from the Scottish and UK governments, and the city council. The Wolfson Foundation plans to spend more than £200m across the UK over the next five years, across arts, science, health and heritage projects. The Dunard Centre concert hall will be created in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town. (Image: Supplied) The National Centre for Music project, which has been awarded an initial £500,000 from the foundation, will see three indoor performance spaces created inside the A-listed building. The grounds of the complex, which is due to open in 2027, will become home to the first public gardens in the city since the creation of Princes Street Gardens more than 200 years ago. The Dunard Centre project, which has been allocated an initial £100,000 by the foundation, will see a 1000-capacity concert hall built off St Andrew Square, next to the new St James Quarter complex, by 2029. The new venue, which is expected to showcase all forms of music, will become a new home for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and will be used by the Edinburgh International Festival each August. A spokesperson for the National Centre for Music said: 'This grant will help protect and save the heritage of one of the most remarkable A listed buildings in Edinburgh. 'Our project will create a home for the National Centre for Music which will offer a range of ways for people who live, work and visit the city to come together to engage with the built and social heritage, and Scottish music heritage. 'The National Centre for Music is a newly created charity which will nurture and celebrate the richness of Scotland's music making – across all genres and all levels. It will become an iconic destination – where artists come to deepen their practice, make new work and connect with others, and where audiences come to expand their passions and have uplifting experiences. 'The former Royal High School will provide an inspiring setting in which to learn, make and share music. With a flexible main hall, a suite of practice rooms and a recording studio, it will provide significant new facilities for Scotland's musicians – from top professionals to those just starting their musical learning. 'The National Centre for Music will be a city centre venue for diverse musical communities, participants and audiences. A public engagement programme is being developed that will include creative learning, heritage interpretation, and community-led activity shaped by ongoing consultation. 'Particular attention is being given to reaching groups who are often underrepresented in culture and heritage, including young people, people living in local communities of socioeconomic deprivation, and people with additional support needs." A spokesperson for the Dunard Centre said: 'This generous funding will be instrumental in supporting our ambitious vision to create a new, world-class concert hall in the heart of Edinburgh, catering for 21st century audiences and artists. 'With a mission to create an inclusive, accessible hub, the venue will be 'a hall for all', offering opportunities for people of all ages and stages to learn, participate, create and engage with the arts, as well as opening up a new, free-to-access public space. 'This inaugural grant marks the first step in our relationship with the Wolfson Foundation. 'With a shared commitment to promoting and supporting excellence, we look forward to developing our relationship as plans for Edinburgh's first concert hall in 100 years progress.' Other projects being funded in Scotland include the Angus arts centre Hospitalfield, which has secured £150,000 for a restoration of its building and a new collections study centre. Earlier this year, Wolfson Foundation chief executive Paul Ramsbottom said the charity was aware of a 'crucial need' for capital infrastructure funding for projects across the UK. He said: 'There are few other similar sources of funding and yet organisations need to keep investing in their physical infrastructure. 'A majority of our funding in the next five years will therefore be allocated for infrastructure: refurbishment, equipment and new build.'

Trouble for fan favourite Love Island couple as villa girl gets flirty with returning bombshell

LOVE Island's Yas Pettet and Jamie Rhodes look like they may be in trouble – as she flirts heavily with returning hunk, Blu Chegini. Blu originally only lasted three days in the villa, but made a shocking return on Wednesday's episode by returning alongside Megan Forte Clarke. 6 6 6 The two quickly whisked Conor Phillips and Angel Swift off on dates, but on tonight's episode it seems that Blu's attention has turned to Yas, and she seems more than happy with the attention. In tonight's episode, Yas – who is currently coupled up with Jamie – engages in flirty banter with Blu when he pulls her for a chat. Soon their talk switches to their shared romantic tension, with Yas telling them: 'I was interested to meet you because I feel like you are a good looking boy and we're kind of similar in a sense. You have this sexual energy and so do I.' 'I like it when you stick it on,' he responds. 'You can stick on me for sure.' He later offers to give Yas a 'little tour' of his mum's sex shop in Marbella – talking through the kinds of toys that are sold there. The chat does not go unnoticed by Jamie, who finds himself trying not to rise to the bait. Shakira comes to his aid, urging him not to read into it… but is he right to be worried? Yasmin seems to have her own troubles emerging as the saga between her, Harry and Helena continues. While Harry appeared to choose Helena by closing things off between them, it seems he still holds a candle for Shakira. Laying her feelings out for him, Shakira tells Harry: 'I still felt very strongly towards you… Watch moment Love Island's Harrison takes savage swipe at villa couple and says there's 'no chance' they will win "I just don't think that I really dealt with the situation how I should have dealt with it and maybe haven't processed things properly, and you and Helena being exclusive may have resurfaced things.' Trying to see if she's ok, Harry later tells her: 'I know it looks like I've moved on very quickly but I don't want you to ever think that it was one sided, you'll probably disagree, but I felt it and like I say I haven't processed it and have tried to just get on with things.' Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2. 6 6 6
