Turf Moor is his "happy place" but Wembley is the destination that Radio 1 DJ and I'm a Celebrity star Jordan North is dreaming of for his beloved Burnley in the FA Cup.

The Clarets fan, whose show is on Radio 1 every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to 13:00 GMT, is taking on BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson to make predictions for this weekend's fourth-round ties.

When Jordan was in the I'm a Celebrity 'Viper Vault', he got through the ordeal by thinking of his "happy place" - Burnley's Turf Moor stadium

"I'd love Burnley to have a good FA Cup run, I've said it for a few years now," he told BBC Sport. "Not so much this season perhaps, because fans can't go, but I'd love a day out at Wembley.

"It looked like we might make it in 2017 - but then we lost at home to non-league Lincoln in the fifth round, which was so disappointing. I'd really thought that year we could make the semi-finals at least.

"I understand why for clubs like us, the Premier League is important, but you ask any Burnley fan and they will tell how much it would mean to us to win the FA Cup again. People say its magic has gone, but I disagree."

Burnley have won the FA Cup once, in 1914, and reached the final in 1947 and 1962. Their last visit to Wembley was when they won the Championship play-off final in 2009. "It was a horrible game to watch, but a special day," North remembered. "I'd love to go back and see Burnley win the cup"

Jordan followed in his dad's footsteps by becoming a Burnley fan and says he never considered supporting anyone else.

He explained: "My dad was in the army so we moved up and down the country and all over Europe when I was growing up - but wherever we were in the world we always kept an eye on Burnley's results.

"It was a lot harder to follow them from afar in those days, but in the UK I always remember my dad would watch the scores refreshing on Ceefax, and when we were abroad we would always listen on BBC World Service as well.

"I went to my first Clarets game when I was about seven. Chris Waddle was our manager, and we were in what is now League One. Obviously it was hard to be a Burnley fan as a kid. Everyone supported Manchester United, because they were all over the telly, but that was never an option for me.

"My favourite players when I was younger were Glen Little and Andy Payton and then, as I got a bit older, Robbie Blake. He is still my favourite player now actually. The winning goal he scored against United when we'd just been promoted to the Premier League in 2009 was just amazing."

Jordan on Burnley boss Sean Dyche: He is a great guy. I've only met him briefly but he sent a video into ITV off his own back to show his support when I was in the castle for I'm a Celebrity, which I thought was a class act. He's the best thing that has ever happened to Burnley, and in my opinion he is the best manager we have ever had. He works wonders, and he does it every year.
