Strictly Come Dancing 2024 confirms JLS star JB Gill for line-up

As a seasoned moviegoer who has seen the rise and fall of many a pop sensation, I must admit that JB Gill is a name that rings a bell. Known to the world as a member of the boy band JLS, he’s a familiar face from my X Factor-watching days. However, it wasn’t until his stint on Strictly Come Dancing’s Christmas special in 2012 that I truly appreciated his talent – the man can jive like no other!


As a long-time fan of Strictly Come Dancing, I am absolutely thrilled to learn that the show will be making its grand return later this year. Having grown up watching this program and seeing it evolve over the past two decades, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia as it celebrates its 20th anniversary on television. The glitz, the glamour, the passion, and the pure joy that emanate from the stage never fail to captivate me, and I eagerly await each new season with anticipation. This show has provided countless memorable moments and unforgettable performances throughout its history, and I have no doubt that this upcoming season will be no exception. Here’s to 20 more years of Strictly Come Dancing!

Following several months of anticipation, the announcement was made on Today’s Episode of This Morning (5th August) that JB Gill and Chris McCausland will be part of this year’s celebrity roster!

In the last year’s grand finale of Strictly, it was a challenging decision to make as Ellie Leach, Layton Williams, and Bobby Brazier were neck-and-neck. Each of them had won over both the audience and the judges with their outstanding performances.

JB will be following in their footsteps as he enters the dance floor this autumn.

Let’s delve into the life of JB Gill and discover his sentiments regarding his participation in Strictly Come Dancing 2024. Keep reading for more!
