Just last month, James spoke out about his fight with drug addiction, admitting: ‘I battled with it for years.’

The former The Only Way Is Essex star recalled the tough memories of his troubled past but insisted he was now clean, sober and in a much better place.

He told Nana Akua on GB News: ‘I battled with that for a number of years. But I’ve got through it and I’m doing alright. I’m doing well. I’m clean, sober, and I have been for a long time now.’

James also spoke candidly about his struggle with his weight which was heightened during the coronavirus lockdown before he opted for a gastric sleeve.

‘You know some people really got into their exercise and they’d be doing at home workouts while other people really quite struggled.’

Revealing how his relationship with food has played out over the years, he continued: ‘I had a bad relationship with food. I would either do no exercise at all and binge eat or I would starve myself and train three times a day.

‘I now have a great relationship with food and with exercise and I have got the balance right. I am proud of what I have achieved.’

Revealing how professional boxer Tyson Fury was his inspiration, he said: ‘Not all stories have to end in tragedy. Some people can turn things around. 

‘I was heavily inspired by Tyson Fury. He’s a friend of mine. He’s someone who struggled. 

‘He managed to turn his life around and become a World Champion. That’s the ultimate comeback story. He’s amazing.’

James said he was enjoying his current job – working as a wedding singer with his group, The Arge Band. 

He said: ‘I’ve always wanted to be a wedding singer. If people ask me what I do now I don’t say reality TV star, I say wedding singer.’

James is now coupled-up with girlfriend Stella Turian, who he enjoyed a trip to Venice, Italy with recently.
