We grabbed 10 minutes with James to ask the most titillating questions about cheese, serenading girls and climbing Mount Snowdon. What follows is the most refreshing interview he'd had in weeks. I bet he says that to all the girls…
Ahem, the Head Of Delegation for the UK wants you to list your favourite cheeses, 3rd to 1st, please...
3. Parmesan
2. Mozzeralla
1. Caerphilly cheese
You live with Alistair from Fame Academy, how is that?
He's very messy! I invited some people 'round to the flat and his door was open so I had to pretend it was the storeroom. I'm very houseproud - when I left it this morning and it was sparkling.
Don't you have a cleaner?
I'm the cleaner! We've got a dishwasher though so you don't need to worry…
What do you hate most - a dirty bath or an unemptied kitchen bin?
Hmm I guess it's the lesser of two evils. You can ignore an unemptied bin so it would be a dirty bath.
Eurovision producer Simon wants to know if you have a beauty regime.
Kind of… I'm getting on a bit so I use a bit of facial scrub, moisturiser and that nightime eyecream stuff.
Tell us mister tidy, were you a good boy or bad boy at school?
A very good boy. I went to maths camp and I was a prefect. Up until I discovered gigs and then I was out 6 nights a week.
Which posters did you have on your wall in your teens?
Iron Maiden, Debbie Gibson, The Beatles… when I was 11 I was rebelling slightly so I had Chas and Dave!
You've got a strong female following, which song would you put at the front of your record collection to impress a girl?
Probably Sting, 'Fragile'.
Have you ever sung a love song to a prospective girlfriend?
Yeah, it was Angel Eyes by Wet Wet Wet. I sang it to my first ever girlfriend when I was about 17.
If we allowed you only 5 songs on your i-pod what would they be?
Fragile - Sting
Themes from an Italian Restaurant - Billie Joel
She's Always a Woman - Billie Joel
Working Class Hero - John Lennon
Making your Mind Up - Bucks Fizz
What was your first car?
It was an X-reg VW Golf. It was orange.
Was it souped up?
No - you can't soup up an orange Golf!
Have you climbed the peak of Snowdon?
Not recently.
