Lady Luck on his side?
James career started at just the age of 12 when he hosted a childrens radio show.

Two years on the road, and one UK top 40 hit later, James decided that it was time to turn his attention back to TV, and, via a number of other career highs, bagged himself the primetime slot on The National Lottery. Now theres luck for you!
