The BBC Radio 1 DJ and 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' star has reflected on his work hosting new BBC Three reality challenge show 'Go Hard or Go Home', which started with him filming on top of a high cliff.

He told the Metro newspaper's Sixty Seconds column: "As soon as I read the brief I said, 'I've gotta host this'. I went on a show where I had to push myself to my limits. It's what everyone knows me for.

"It's given me a new lease of life. I only used to fly when I had to go for a stag do but if I can get in a coffin full of snakes, I can get on a plane.

"Don't get me wrong, I had a bit of a tough time out there on this show. I missed flights, I had an emergency landing..."

The 33-year-old star opened up on the scary moment when the pilot informed them that there "may or may not be a fire in one of the engines".

He recalled: "We filmed on a remote island in the Caribbean. I'm still not a good flyer but we took off and then we started circling the airport.

"The captain came on and said, so calmly, 'We have to make an emergency landing. There may or may not be a fire in one of the engines.'

"As we're landing there are firefighters following us down the runway. There's blues and twos going..."

When it came to being on top of a cliff - which will remind fans of a particularly scary trial he faced on 'I'm A Celebrity' - Jordan admitted he "had a bit of a wobble".

He added: "At the top of that cliff I had a bit of a wobble and fainted. I'm being a bit dramatic to say 'fainted.'

"You know when you get up from the settee and you're a bit dizzy? I'd been in the head for an hour and it was a really high cliff.

"I just remember putting my hand on one of the cameramen's shoulders and I went down in stages, a bit like Gillian McKeith. I was like, 'I've not fainted but I just want to take a little seat for a while/' "
