The 'Can We Dance' hitmaker has been booted out of the reality show, leaving Fleur East, Harry Redknapp, Emily Atack and John Barrowman to fight to be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle.

Speaking to hosts Declan Donnelly and Holly Willoughby after his exit, he said: "I'm so happy. It's been the toughest thing I've ever done but I'm over the moon to have done it."

And James feels like he has "learned" a lot about himself during his time on the show.

He explained: "I've learned more about myself in this process than ever before. I thought coming in here that I knew who I was but I wasn't a crier before coming in here and I've cried in here pretty much every day. I've faced fears every single day, spiders were a massive one for me and heights. And doing that trial the other day, where I had to freefall, I didn't think I could do that."

James built a strong friendship with Harry and Nick Knowles during his time on the show.

Speaking about their friendship, he shared: "Harry lives where I grew up, in Dorset, so I used to walk past his house all the time. It got me through, speaking about things from home and having him there understanding my way of life. It was amazing having Harry ... I saw Nick as a father figure in the camp and I'm really inspired by everything he did so when he left it was a big blow. So to be honest, I'm glad that I'm out now because I was struggling without having that figure there."
