Last night, Jordan North found himself in a dangerous situation when he witnessed a dog struggling in the River Thames. The 34-year-old radio presenter was out for a run near Hammersmith Bridge at 5pm when he saw the Labrador in distress and immediately sprung into action to try and help.
However, things took a turn when Jordan himself started to panic and needed assistance to get to safety. Luckily, a nearby lifeboat crew was able to respond quickly and reach him within minutes. When they found him, Jordan was sitting on a float lift with the dog in his lap, both of them visibly shaken. The crew was aided by helpful members of the public who used their phone torches to guide them.
After being rescued, Jordan shared his experience on Capital Breakfast, thanking the RNLI Chiswick for their heroic efforts. He admitted feeling panicked during the incident and expressed his gratitude for their timely arrival. A video clip posted by the RNLI showed the moment Jordan was pulled onto the boat, along with a heartwarming moment where the volunteers recognized him from his radio job and offered him a blanket to keep warm.
In the clip, Jordan can be heard explaining that he was just on a run when he saw the struggling dog and felt compelled to intervene. He went on to praise the RNLI as the real heroes, emphasizing their crucial role in saving lives on the water.
Thames Commander Gavin Simmons also commended the RNLI for their work, mentioning that they are always available to assist anyone in difficulty on the water, including beloved pets. He urged people to call 999 and ask for the Coastguard instead of risking their own lives by entering the water.
