JB Gill to read Cbeebies bedtime story

Kent farmer and former popstar JB Gill is in charge of tonight's Cbeebies bedtime story.

JB was once part of the four-piece pop group JLS.

They played to thousands across the world and topped the charts until they split in 2013.

Since then his life has taken a different route and he now has a smallholding near Westerham and is a presenter of popular Cbeebies programme Down on the Farm.

And on Monday evening (January 14) the former singer is in charge of settling down thousands of youngsters by taking a turn to read the popular Cbeebies bedtime story.

He isn't the first famous face with links to Kent to take a seat in the bedtime story studio. Last year Hollywood actor and former Kent student Orlando Bloom took on the role.

JB, a father-of-two small children, will be reading Families, Families, Families by Suzanne Lang in which a host of silly animals in dozens of combinations demonstrate all kinds of families in this warm celebration of family love.

The programme is on the Cbeebies channel at 6.50pm.
