JB Gill to host The Hits UK Chart show while Sam Thompson is Down Under

JLS star and current Strictly Come Dancing contestant JB Gill will be covering The Hits UK Chart show from this Sunday.

Regular host Sam Thompson is back Down Under for this year’s I’m a Celebrity… Unpacked, so JB will cover from the Hits Radio studio to play the forty biggest tracks of the week.

Obviously the JLS singer is no stranger to the charts, but this will be the first time that he’s been counting them down rather than listening out for his own chart position!

JB said: “What an honour to be covering for my mate Sam whilst he’s in Australia for I’m a Celeb… I have listened to the charts ever since I was a little kid and I’m going to get such a kick out of hosting the show and revealing that all-important number one to listeners.

“Hope you can all join me from this Sunday to countdown the UK’s biggest hits!”

You can hear JB on The Hits UK Chart show from this Sunday, 17 November at 4pm.
