The presenter, who has raised his profile massively in recent years after stints on ITV1鈥檚 pop star reality shows, joins the station from 12 September in its latest battle against the likes of Heart and Capital in London.
The move is the latest listener ratings offensive by Magic, following the launch of its celeb-based Indulgence and My Magic Music shows.
Current host of the breakfast show, Graham Dene, will move to the new position of presenting Magic鈥檚 drivetime show.
Andria Vidler, managing director of Magic 105.4, said: 鈥淣eil is one of the best radio broadcasters in the business. It is great to have him come on board at the most exciting point in Magic鈥檚 history.
鈥淭here is a great deal of skill goes into crafting each hour of Magic to ensure that we have the right mix of more music and less talk and Magic is all about having experienced radio broadcasters who love music.鈥
Earlier this week Magic announced the resumption of the station鈥檚 TV advertising campaign after a 12-month absence.
The new promo will feature on ITV, Channel 4 and Five and has cost around 拢1m.
