The former 'Strictly Come Dancing' star - who reached the quarter finals last year - will be part of the BBC Daytime programme alongside Sarah Moore and Jacqui Joseph when it returns for a 10th series later this spring.
He said in a statement: “I come from a house where we fixed, reused, or repurposed an item long before it would ever be thrown out.
"As a result I grew up working with my hands and developed skills which I passed on to others as a Design and Technology teacher, and then later learnt so much about how to adapt in the Royal Marines.
“I’m seldom happier than when I'm getting my hands dirty in my workshop, and so I’m really delighted to be joining the 'Money for Nothing' team, working alongside the talented presenters and makers to help items that were going to be scrapped live on.”
JJ previously taught craft, design and technology to high school students before joining the Royal Marines full time.
He served in Afghanistan, where he survived a catastrophic bomb blast, and later went on to lead a team of cyclists to success in the Invictus Games before travelling the world as part of the BBC’s team of sports presenters.
Meanwhile, 'Money for Nothing' sees a team of talented artisans rework unwanted objects into stylish and valuable pieces, with any profits being handed back to the original owners.
Over the past nine series, more than 650 unwanted items have been saved from being thrown in the skip, given a new lease of life and sold on, with over £55,000 of profits returned to members of the public for their old objects.
'Money For Nothing' returns to BBC One Daytime later this spring, in the 3.45pm slot, as well as BBC iPlayer.
