Jordan North rescued from River Thames after saving dog

Check out: Jordan North saved from the River Thames by the RNLI

Capital FM host Jordan North came to the rescue on the River Thames when he saved a dog that was having trouble in the water.

The RNLI reported that North was out for a jog when he noticed a Labrador in the water close to Hammersmith Bridge in west London on Monday at 5:05 PM GMT.

A passerby notified the authorities, and the lifeboat team from Chiswick RNLI discovered the DJ on a nearby inflatable platform with his dog. Bystanders used their phone flashlights to assist the RNLI in finding him.

"North expressed heartfelt gratitude and a loud shout-out to RNLI Chiswick for coming to his rescue when he started feeling a bit anxious," he shared with listeners during his breakfast program.

The 34-year-old ex-Radio 1 host from Burnley said, "I started to feel a bit anxious because I thought my legs would give out and I wouldn’t be able to last much longer. Thankfully, they arrived right on time."

"The true heroes in this situation are the RNLI. They came to my rescue and wrapped me in a blanket. They really are the ones who deserve the credit."

Gavin Simmons, the RNLI Thames commander, stated: "We're available around the clock, every day of the year, to assist anyone in trouble on the water—including our cherished pets."

"We always advise calling 999 and requesting the Coastguard instead of going into the water on your own. However, we're glad that in this case, we could assist Jordan and the dog in getting back to safety."
