JB  joined This Morning presenters Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle on the ITV show earlier today.

However the star shared a cryptic post that suggested he was going to be part of the show.

The X Factor legend reshared his most recent Instagram photo dump from his grid onto his story.

JB said: “July was a vibe… but I’m ready for August adventures,” with a wink emoji.

JB’s clue showed somebody pouring water into an X Factor-branded coffee mug.

Josie told viewers: “We can reveal that the second celebrity taking part in this year’s Strictly is JB Gill.”

The Beat Again singer said: “I danced in the Strictly Christmas special over a decade ago and loved it, so when I got the call to join Strictly this year, it was an immediate yes from me.

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

“From muddy wellies on the fields of my farm to sequins and Glitterballs – I’m here to embrace it all!”

JB took part in the Strictly Christmas special back in 2012.

He was paired with  Ola Jordan.

JB shot to fame on The X Factor in 2008.

The band made it all the way to the final, but missed out on the number one spot to Alexandra Burke.

JLS consists of JB, Aston Merrygold, Oritsé Williams and Marvin Humes.

The band split in 2013.

But reunited in 2020.

They are best known for songs such as Everybody In Love, One Shot, The Club Is Alive, Beat Again, Eyes Wide Shut and She Makes Me Wanna.
