Capital FM presenter Jordan North was rescued on the River Thames after saving a dog struggling in the water.

The RNLI said North had been on a run when he spotted the labrador in the water near Hammersmith Bridge in west London on Monday at 17:05 GMT.

A member of the public alerted authorities and the lifeboat crew from Chiswick RNLI found the DJ sitting on a nearby float lift with the dog. Members of the public held up phone torches to help the RNLI locate him.

“A big thank you and a massive shout out to RNLI Chiswick who came and rescued me because I was getting a bit panicky,” North told listeners on his breakfast show.
