Former JLS star JB Gill is now turning his talents to presenting a new documentary about a very unusual subject – the UK’s love of service stations.  

JB, 38, who was a runner-up on last year’s Strictly Come Dancing, will front Britain’s Favourite Service Station in an hour-long documentary for Channel 5. 

An insider told The Sun: ‘Joking aside, this is a show that will probably get pretty impressive viewing figures. 

‘After all, service stations are a bit of a guilty pleasure for most of us.

They added: ‘Even more surprising is the fact they’ve got a former pop star in as the host, but execs seem to think it will work.’

The show is reported to examine the varying popularity of Britain’s service stations to get to the bottom of what makes a truly exceptional pit stop.

While JB was initially partnered up with pro dancer Amy Dowden, their union only lasted six weeks after she fell unwell and he ultimately danced to the final with Lauren Oakley (pictured)

As its name suggests, Britain’s Favourite Service Station will also reveal the best in the UK after consumers were asked in a poll by Which?. 

This will not be the pop star’s first presenting gig either and he has previously fronted Songs of Praise and The One Show.  

JB found a whole new audience last year thanks to his dancing skills on Strictly, lasting for an impressive 22 episodes. 

While he was initially partnered up with pro dancer Amy Dowden, their union only lasted six weeks after she fell unwell and he ultimately danced to the final with Lauren Oakley. 

News of the documentary comes amid the revival of JB’s pop star career as JLS are set to go on tour again in 2026 after splitting in 2013. 

The tour will kick off in Glasgow, Scotland, with one show at the OVO Hydro before stopping in Aberdeen, Newcastle, Belfast, Dublin, Liverpool, Sheffield, Manchester, Cardiff, Leeds, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Brighton, and Nottingham.

The Everybody In Love hitmakers will wrap up their tour with two final shows at London’s iconic O2 Arena on November 28 and November 29.
