As I delve into the vibrant life of JB Gill, I am struck by his remarkable journey that spans from the rhythmic beats of JLS to the fertile fields of his farm. From the glittering stages of X Factor to the muddy wellies of Down on the Farm, this man has truly embraced a diverse spectrum of experiences. His life is a beautiful symphony of music, farming, and television presenting, making him an embodiment of the spirit of versatility.


Photos showed the professional dancers from Strictly Come Dancing stepping into a studio in London, where preparations were underway, following the unveiling of the initial batch of celebrity participants.

Actors from JLS, JB Gill, and comedian Chris McCausland have been announced as the initial celebrities participating in the special 20th-anniversary season.

The announcement arrives following a string of former celebrity participants expressing concerns about the allegedly toxic environment on Strictly Come Dancing.

The controversy arose when Amanda Abbington decided to leave the show in 2023, alleging that her partner, Giovanni Pernice, was abusive. Subsequently, she also departed from the program.

Upon learning about my dismissal following allegations of an incident with my partner, Love Island star Zara McDermott, here’s how I’d like to address the situation in a more personal and reflective manner:

Amidst the swirl of accusations, I remain committed to moving forward with the 2024 season of Strictly. Exciting lineup announcements are set to commence this very week!

Following the news that JB and Chris would participate in this year’s program, professional dancers associated with the show could be seen making their way to collective practice sessions.

Nadiya Bychkova and Dianne Buswell confidently displayed their well-sculpted legs in short outfits, showcasing their agility.

Nadiya, aged 34, having just parted ways with Kadi Widdrington, was casually dressed in a set of faded blue jeans shorts, a white shirt, and a gray jacket.

She completed her relaxed outfit by including a pair of trainers and accessorized with a compact Chanel shoulder bag (quilted in white) as well as a larger tote bag for additional storage.

At the same time, Dianne, aged 35, sported a crochet short-sleeve top paired with denim shorts and tall, tanned boots.

Dianne’s vibrant, free-flowing red hair adorned her, matched by a dab of lipstick in the same fiery hue. She also had a variety of stylish leather bags with her.

Over there, I caught a glimpse of the legendary Nikita Kuzmin, rocking a dreamy cream crochet shirt paired with a vibrant set of blue Nike shorts and sneakers that matched, like my admiration for him on the court!

Nancy Xu enthusiastically displayed a double victory sign and stuck out her tongue playfully toward the camera while walking towards the studio.

Additionally, professional dancers Katya Jones, Johannes Radebe, and Gorka Marquez were also noticed arriving.

In the same manner as Aston Merrygold, who was voted off in 10th place during the 2017 season, confirmed contestant JB continues in his footsteps.

The star also has history with Strictly, winning the Christmas Special of the BBC One dancing show back in 2012, performing the Jive with Ola Jordan. 

Regarding enrolling for the upcoming series, he mentioned, “I participated in the holiday special – it was a blast!”

In terms of dance, this one was most reminiscent of my experience with JLS. Many ballroom dance styles feel quite foreign to me since they weren’t part of my upbringing. To clarify, I didn’t learn those particular dances when I was young, and I’m not professionally trained in dance either.

As an ardent devotee, I can’t help but gush about the meteoric rise of JB, who was part of the UK’s colossal boyband sensation – JLS. This dynamic group has racked up an impressive five number-one singles globally, sold over 10 million records worldwide, and amassed a treasure trove of awards after their winning stint on X Factor in 2008.

Apart from being a successful and honored farmer, JB has also served as the principal host on various farming-themed TV shows. These include the BAFTA-nominated CBeebies program ‘Down On The Farm’, Channel 5’s ‘On The farm’, and he’s contributed segments to both the BBC’s ‘Countryfile’ and ‘Springwatch’.

Since 2017, he’s been one of the presenters on BBC’s Songs of Praise program, and he also hosts his own cooking show, Cooking With The Gills, on Channel 5.

He’s wedded to his spouse, Chloe, and they have two kids together – their nine-year-old son, Ace, and their five-year-old daughter, Chiara.

With enthusiasm for his new project, he shared, “I participated in the Strictly Christmas special more than ten years back and really enjoyed it. When I received the invitation to be part of Strictly this year, my response was a swift affirmative.”

‘I’m raring to go to and looking forward to showing off some new skills to the JLS boys.’

“From trudging through muddy boots on my farm fields to dancing in sparkling shoes under glittering chandeliers, I’m ready for every adventure!”

Earlier this month it was revealed TOWIE star Pete Wicks has signed up, despite the news his close pal Zara McDermott was physically and verbally abused by her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima last year.

In addition, former Arsenal player Paul Merson and DIY SOS host Nick Knowles are said to have donned their dance shoes as well.

Tom Dean disclosed that he’s joined the upcoming Strictly competition, contrary to the established rules, before the formal announcement.

The 24-year-old swimmer intends to emulate his teammate Adam Peaty’s achievements, as he has officially verified that he will join this upcoming event, according to recent news.
