The F1 legend had been undergoing treatment since his diagnosis with bladder and prostate cancer in 2024.
His passing marks the end of a remarkable career that spanned decades in motorsport.
"Sorry guys, just a small thing, thank you," Jordan had said during his talkSPORT appearance. "I've just come out of getting chemotherapy and I'm not 100 per cent together here guys.
"I'm just not myself at this moment in time. I'm a little all over the place, so please forgive me."
Despite his deteriorating health, Jordan had continued to make public appearances when possible.
Jordan had previously announced his illness on his Formula For Success podcast, saying: "We've kind of alluded to it over the shows, way back in March and April, I was diagnosed with bladder and prostate cancer, and then it spread into the spine and the pelvis, so it was quite aggressive."
The diagnosis came as a shock to many in the motorsport community.
Jordan was recognised with an honorary OBE in 2012 for his contributions to charity and motorsport.
