'I’m no stranger to the charts but I can’t wait to count down the week’s hottest hits as chosen by YOU and playing that all-important number one so be sure to join me @hitsradiouk from this Sunday 17th November at 4pm to countdown the UK’s biggest hits!!'
The star will have to juggle his dancing and DJing commitments for the next few weeks as the hit BBC show is not set to end until Christmas.
JB is seemingly taking inspiration from his former bandmate Marvin Humes who is also a DJ on Kiss Radio, hosting the show from 11am and leading the radio's KISSTORY show.

The former Made In Chelsea star, 32, won the reality show in 2023 and is back alongside Joel Dommett and Kemi Rogers to present the show.
The spin-off programme will be filmed in UK time meaning he will be going to bed at 4pm and waking up at midnight to start work.
The reality star recently revealed that he had to rush to hospital before he flew out to start filming to request some sleeping pills to aid the chaotic scheduling due to the time difference between Australia and the UK.
Speaking on his podcast Staying Relevant with Pete Wicks, Sam explained: 'The timings are quite awkward because obviously we are live in UK time. So we go to bed at 4pm every day in Australia and wake up at midnight. Which is going to be wild.'

Pete added: 'You don't cope well with change and what Sam said to me when he told me this last week is "I've just been to the doctor and I've got 24 sleeping pills".'
He continued: 'That was the first thing you did, he literally came out of the meeting with ITV or off the phone and went straight to the doctor and said "I need pills".'
Sam was the fan favourite last year with his boundless energy and while he would not confirm when he had landed his 'dream' presenting gig, it is believed ITV bosses signed him up shortly after victory.
He arrived at Brisbane Airport on Sunday with his co-hosts Joel and Kemi after his flight was almost diverted to Sydney due to a horrendous thunderstorm threatening the safety of their landing.
Revealing what he would do with his time in Australia, Sam said: 'I'm just going to be trying to get to know Joel as best as I can while I'm out here so that he becomes my brother.
'Definitely trying to track down Ant and Dec, seeing where they're staying seeing if I can hang out with them. Try and make best friends for life.'
Meanwhile Sam revealed Pete is likely to travel to Australia for I'm A Celeb if he's booted off Strictly Come Dancing in the coming weeks.
