The 26-year-old singer will be taking to the stage on Wednesday night (06.01.16), where other performers include Shawn Mendes, and says the audience will be stunned with his routine.

He said: "I'm doing a mashup with 'Get Ugly' and 'Want to Want Me'. From a performance perspective, you can expect a lot of energy, tons of dancing. I'm really going to push the envelope dance wise. It's definitely a lost art."

One thing fans can expect is for the buff Jason to show off his artfully sculpted abs at some point during the show.

But Jason insists maintaining such a toned physique doesn't come easily.

He added to E! News: "It's all about taking in calories for fuel and not pleasure. I like to enjoy myself but I think of food more as fuel than a party. For the most part, I've stopped dieting and it's more about a lifestyle.

"It's all about a balance lifestyle but I do eat a high protein, very low-carb. Very rarely will I have a piece of bread. I also work out three times a day sometimes."
