On TV: James appeared on The Apprentice (pictured) in 2014 and was also crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother in 2015
James won Celebrity Big Brother in 2015 after receiving the most votes from the British public, narrowly beating Austin.
Host Emma Willis revealed there was less than two percent between the two boys, who became best friends during their time in the house.
James appeared on The Apprentice in 2015 but was axed by Alan Sugar after leaving the businessman rather unimpressed following a national trade show job.
He put himself in charge of his team, Summit, in the challenge of choosing the best products to sell at a national event, but only raised £4,757, compared to rivals Tenacity who managed £30,615.
