My son was doing exactly the same recently. Really it is as you say - a matter of time - the best thing is to reward him when he does go on the loo and try to ignore it when he doesn't. I think the problem (especially with boys) is that they are always too busy doing other things and only realise when it's too late sometimes. don't worry it won't be too long.
They get so caught up in what they are doing activity or programme wise, they ' forget" until it is too late. I used to have a digital timer that went off every fifteen mins. to help them remember to think about whether they needed to go or not. That helped and i didn't have to nag the buzzer was the question!
