JORDAN North has landed a brand new television series just days after quitting BBC Radio 1.
The DJ and broadcaster, 34, announced his departure from the station after The Sun's exclusive story.
He was then revealed as the new host of Capital Radio's breakfast show, taking over from Roman Kemp.
But now Jordan has been given his own documentary series by Beeb bosses exploring the use of vapes.
It will be Jordan's first ever doc as he attempts to find out more about the phenomenon of vaping in the UK.
The self-confessed vaper will front the show on BBC Three before it airs on BBC One at a later date.

North will ask where they come from - and more importantly, what's in them.
Speaking about the new show, Jordan said: “I’m really excited to be back on BBC Three.
"I’ve always wanted to make a documentary, and I’m really interested in this subject, as a vaper myself, I’m desperate to know what’s inside my vape!”
PLANS FOR NEW UK VAPING LAWS
MINISTERS have pledged to crackdown on poorly regulated vapes and e-cigarettes following an explosion in the number of teenagers who use them
New rules for manufacturers and shopkeepers are expected to come into force in late 2024 or early 2025.
They are set to include:
- Higher tax rates paid on vapes to increase the price and make it harder for children to afford them
- A ban on single-use vapes in favour of devices that can be recharged
- A ban on colourful and cartoonish packaging that may appeal to youngsters
- Tighter controls on flavourings and a ban on unnecessarily sweet or child-friendly ones like bubblegum and candy
- More regulation on how and where they are displayed in shops, potentially putting them out of sight
- Harsher penalties for shops caught selling them to under-18s
Nasfim Haque, head of content of BBC Three, added: “Jordan is the perfect guide for this fascinating and insightful new documentary as he takes a deep dive into the rapidly expanding phenomenon of vaping and showcases his findings to viewers on BBC Three and iPlayer.”
Meanwhile, Celebrity Big Brother bosses have booked Jordan for a presenting role ahead of the new series.
The Sun revealed the full lineup before the live launch on Monday evening.
Jordan will be a permanent fixture on its spin-off series Late and Live, being the show's 'houseguest'.
