Jordan Banjo, renowned for his dynamic dance prowess, first gained national fame alongside his brother Ashley as part of the street dance group Diversity. In 2009, they captivated audiences and secured victory in the third series of Britain’s Got Talent, impressing an estimated 17 million viewers. This success propelled Diversity into the spotlight, leading them to perform for prominent figures, including royalty at the Royal Variety Performance and the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street. They also showcased their talent during the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games in 2014, while consistently selling out tours and producing their own television specials.
In September 2019, the group celebrated a decade of success with their "Born Ready" tour, a rigorous 40-date journey across the UK. Beyond dance, Jordan has expanded his career as a television presenter, charming millions with his engaging style on various shows, including the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, Dancing on Ice, and Got to Dance. He was also a key host for the inaugural series of The Greatest Dancer.
In November 2019, Jordan co-hosted Nickelodeon’s popular Slimefest in Blackpool alongside his friend and fellow Diversity member, Perri Kiely. Additionally, the duo presents the Saturday morning breakfast show on KissFM. On a personal note, in July 2019, Jordan welcomed his second child, daughter Mayowa Angel (affectionately known as Mimi), into his family with partner Naomi Courts.
