What made you want to enter the Big Brother House?
How can you not? When you think of how many people they could have choose from, I feel really privileged and honoured to be asked to take part. It’s an opportunity and an experience that not many people can say they’ve done.
You’re well known for The Apprentice. Does that mean you’ll find this easy?
The more stuff you do in TV, the more you learn of course. I did learn a hell of a lot off The Apprentice, but I don’t do game plans, I’m all about being myself. That is all I have ever done in life and that is what I was in The Apprentice. If you go in being yourself no matter what then you can come out thinking that was me. If you go in with a game plan and try to be clever. You think, “I should have been myself I might have done better.” That’s my motto.
On The Apprentice you liked to take charge. Is that how you’ll approach Big Brother?
In life, I would say I am a leader. I am my own person and I am not frightened to put my views across. I am quite a strong character but I think I have become more considered in my approach. But I am a leader and I like to be in charge.
Would you consider having a fling on Big Brother?
Naturally, I’ve been called a bit of a womaniser but I am a young guy. I’m single like I was on The Apprentice and after four weeks of being in the house, our instinct and testosterone takes over sometimes doesn’t it? But it’s what we do, we are here to breed in life and if you like someone there are times and places to do it. I’m not suggesting I am going in to look for a girl, but who knows what is going to happen. I’m not saying I am going to start having these naughty sessions on TV but who knows?
You seem very confident. Are you nervous at all?
I am. I do get nervous, not to the extent where you don’t want to do it or you’re frightened. I’m much more of an excited nervous. Once you’re doing it you’re enjoying it but the first step is a bit nerve-wracking. Walking out of those doors and thinking what you’re going to say, making sure you’re not talking rubbish, for me that is the hardest part.
Are you in it to win it?
100%. I didn’t go into The Apprentice not to win it. Everything I do in life, I want to be a winner. I push myself hard to win and be successful and I would be stupid to go into a place like this and not believe I could win it. I am a big believer that anyone who believes in themselves can do it, but I am going to be myself and if that wins, nice, and if it doesn’t then I’ve been myself.
Are you a patriotic person?
I am very patriotic and I do like the Royal family and they are very family orientated. That is what I like about our country. We do have a Royal family which is nice and they do have roots and stuff but I love America as well. I love Obama and his presence, his aura and his way about him. I like the yanks, their outgoing, anything is achievable attitude. But to live with that for four weeks, every day, could be irritating!
Do you think the Americans will struggle with your accent?
Maybe, but they love English accents don’t they? And I’m a bugger for trying to pretend I’ve got an American accent!
What would you like to get across about Britain to the Americans?
Britain and America are very close apparently aren’t they? Is the word allies? I’d like to know how much they do know about us. But my point is what do I ask them because I don’t know much myself!
Is there anyone you’d really like to see walk in the House?
It’s been rumoured Hulk Hogan is going in and he was a hero when I was a kid. I’ve never watched Big Brother to be honest with you. I did watch one series and it was with Gary Busey. That says everything…anyway, he was lovely…he was my cup of tea. Deep down I could see that he was the kind of person I could get on with because I love characters. It would have been me and him probably!
Is there anyone you’d hate to see in there?
Perez Hilton would have driven me mad, but he was so funny to watch. When he became King of the house I thought, “Yes!” But now I’m in that situation it’s different.
Will you be a good person to live with?
I like looking after people to be fair. Cooking and cleaning. I am a clean freak. My area will have to be clean. I hate people leaving dirty bathrooms. That’s disgusting isn’t it? But in terms of a person I think I will be a good Housemate because I’m interested in people, I love talking, I like a joke and all these tasks. If someone asks me to put a stupid outfit on I am game for that!
How would you celebrate winning?
It depends if the food has been rationed! I think I would smash a big pizza down me then go and give my granddad a big cuddle and a kiss. He’s my best friend and he’s been a good mentor of mine so I’d go for a pint with my granddad…pizza in the other hand and that would make my day. If he was a bit fitter and a bit younger, he’d be here by my side.
Happy he has entered tbh
I agree
oop i thought this was tila’s page
Out of the selection we have, he seems pretty decent as a housemate. However, if they threw in some real celebrities he would be bottom of the barrel.
Tool in The Apprentice, but willing to give him a shot here. Can easily see the voters falling in love with him and him going far.
I like him he’s cocky but in a funny way, he had good banter going with Alan sugar, he doesn’t take himself to seriously, should do well !
I think farragh should be giving the boot or at lest giving a warning for pushing James in the headed conversation !! If that was the other way round big brother would have probably thrown James out !!!! James held his composure through out her bulling rage towards him , big brother need to sort this and not let her get away with it
He held his own against farrah like a gentleman well done james
a lucky escape for James. Tila would have swallowed him up and spat him out in bubbles.
He is hilarious 😂😂
He’s adorable, sweet and rational. Hopefully he won’t get drowned out by the louder characters of the house because he speaks a good truth. Hope he goes far.
he’s beginning to chatup Farrah in an attempt to get rid of Austin cos hes suffocating him….but, it actual fact he’ll make he time more complicated as the game goes on…
What a sweetie pie! Didn’t like him at all on the apprentice but I think I’m falling in love with him a little bit now!so kind and gentle with farah- a true English gent! :up:
His reaction to bobby’s sleep walking was priceless. My favourite part of celeb bb so far! :up:
James is just so lovely and I love the interaction between him and Austin. They make cbb worth watching.
He’s just a gorgeous human being inside and out, I want him to be my husband! :up: 😉
James is just beautiful-handsome,great body and a nice guy too! Oh and he’s got a lovely bum! 😉
he is a true honest guy :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
What a kind, genuine man James is. Not gonna lie, I hated him on Apprentice and thought I’d hate him in BB too. But he has shown himself to be a true gentleman. Really really hope enough people vote for him and let him win!
James is a cool bloke. He’s been the voice of reason in the house from day one. More women vote on this show so I’d say he’s the favourite to win. :up:
Anyone else get a bit hot under the collar when he takes his shirt off? 😀
James would be a worthy winner because he came across as genuine and certainly spoke his mind when needed.
Hope he wins.
And now we know why he failed on the apprentice! Got called out on choosing Janice. What a plonker. So transparent. Another fake housemate.
:up: Agreed, I’ve been “team Austin” all along. I thought James was too nice to be true.
Definitely a fatal error choosing Janice IMO and how he can’t see Chole is as fake as Jennas’ boobs I have no idea!
By voting for Janice he has shown his true colours. He knew Chloe and Stevie would have voted for Janice so he threw away a vote, if your going to be tactical at least admit it; he is lying through his teeth and is fake. All of his little chats with Austin are aimed at making himself look good in the publics’ eyes, he treads carefully to come across as the good guy and never puts a foot wrong, hope he doesnt win, Austin deserves it more he is being real.
Yes, spot on Connie :up:
What’s wrong with voting for Janice?, I would have voted for Janice to if I was in that situation and for the exact same reasons as james said. No tactics involved at all, just looking after the women of the house as he always has done in there and as a true gentleman should!
Hes no friend to Austin, in fact just the opposite. Its to Austin’s credit that he is still friendly with James.
When Austin was crying and upset Bobby and Natasha felt for him and were sympathetic. James sat in the chair stony faced, figuring out what to say next to make himself look good as usual.
