For the past five and a half years, Jordan and Perri have been the vibrant heartbeat of KISS radio’s Breakfast Show, waking up the nation with laughter, lively chats, and unmissable vibes. But now, the dynamic pair has announced they’re stepping away from their daily hosting duties at the end of January 2026, choosing to channel their talents into an epic 2026 packed with excitement—including Diversity’s biggest tour yet and a slew of thrilling new projects.

Breaking the news live on air, the duo couldn’t hide their emotions. “We have some very big news… there’s no easy way to say this, we are moving on from KISS Breakfast,” they shared, as reported by the Express. Reflecting on their journey, they added, “It’s been quite the ride for the last five and a half years—we’ve spent every single morning with you guys. It’s been an absolute pleasure, a privilege to wake up with you and share those laughs. These have been the most special years of our lives, genuinely, and we’ve cherished every moment.”

While the thought of reclaiming those precious lie-ins brings a silver lining, the goodbye is bittersweet. “We’re really excited about all those projects, but we are really, really sad to be leaving,” they confessed, their voices laced with genuine sentiment. Fans across social media have erupted in response, flooding timelines with messages of support, nostalgia, and pleas for a comeback—proving just how irreplaceable this pair has become.

Paul Gerrard, Content Director at KISS and Hits Radio, paid glowing tribute to the stars: “Huge thanks to Jordan and Perri, who’ve infused KISS Breakfast with crazy energy, vibes, and creativity—making mornings truly worth waking up for! The studios will feel emptier without them, but we’re wishing them all the best for their next adventures.”

Details on the future of KISS Breakfast are set to be unveiled very soon, leaving listeners on the edge of their seats. Meanwhile, Jordan and Perri’s rise to stardom began back in 2009 when Diversity stunned the world by winning Britain’s Got Talent’s third series. Since then, they’ve dazzled at the Royal Variety Performance, conquered UK tours, and even launched their own fitness DVD. Jordan’s TV exploits include stints on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! (twice!), co-hosting The Greatest Dancer with Alesha Dixon, and a memorable early exit on ITV’s The Masked Dancer.

As these two icons pivot to new horizons, one thing’s clear: their departure leaves a void that’s hard to fill. Fans, brace yourselves—2026 might just be their most spectacular chapter yet!
