JLS member turned farmer JB Gill has revealed he plays his music to the animals he owns on his farm in Kent.
The former X Factor contestant shared in a new interview that he blasts his JLS songs to his cows and observes their reactions to see if they approve.
He told the Daily Star : “We are working on new material and I do play our songs, especially the new songs, to them. I play them the songs that might be potential singles or potential album tracks.
“I play them out loud when I’m farming and the animals get a blast of the songs. If I sit there and study them, they make noises if they like the tracks.”
JB and his three bandmates Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes and Oritsé Williams are planning a comeback tour later this year, so he admits the cattle’s verdicts on whether the bops are bangers will come in handy.
The 34-year-old TV presenter has lived and worked on a farm in Sevenoaks for the last eight years and resides there with his wife Chloe Gill and children Ace, 6, and Chiara, 3.
He is now one of the hosts on Channel 5’s Live: Summer On The Farm, which will be aired from Cannon Hall Farm in South Yorkshire.
Being judged every week on a reality talent show, JB is no stranger to criticism, with the likes of Simon Cowell throwing shade at the band during their stint on X-Factor in 2008.
Having now a breadth of experience in the music and farming industry, he joked that there is still only one winner when it comes to divas.
He adde to the Daily Star: “Let’s just say the animals are easier to manage than people!”
Live: Summer On The Farm continues tonight at 8pm on Channel 5.
