Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Jordan revealed he's has the "best year" of his life while taking a veiled swipe at BBC Radio One.
When asked about how it's been at Capital since making the move, he said: "Oh, honestly, they have been the best people to work for.
"It was definitely the right decision," he said, trailing off.
"It's been just over 12 months and it has been the best year of my life."

Continuing to gush over the job change, he said: "It's been so good, we've interviewed absolute megastars.
"And what's lovely now is friends and family and people that have come over to Capital have said, 'oh, you really suit the station. It's like you've been there for years'.
"And that is the biggest compliment," he said.
He added: "This Breakfast show has got a massive buzz about it at the moment, something which we never thought we'd be able to do after just 12 months.

"It feels like everybody's tuning in and listening.
"And everyone's copying us as well, which is always a good sign," he added, seemingly taking another jibe at his former workplace.

Last year, after a decade at the
BBC
, it was announced he was leaving the Drive Time show with
Vick Hope
after four years.
Speaking to The Sun last year amid his big move, Jordan opened up about getting the huge opportunity at Capital and being unable to turn it down.
'I wasn't looking to leave but then this opportunity came up and you don't turn Capital down,' Jordan admitted.
'I know that sounds corny but it's a massive breakfast show.
'I told three people, because I had to keep it quiet, and they all said, 'Go for it'.'
At the time, Jordan also spoke about his pals at the BBC with fond words.
'I have loads of good friends there [at the BBC].
'When I rang Vick she was great.
'They all texted me before the first show.
"
'They pit us as rivals but really we're all mates,' he affirmed at the time.
