James was remarkably close to his father, and in in 2020, he spoke to HELLO! about his father's health after discovering he had just one year left to live after the discovery of an inoperable brain tumour. In tears, James said: "We went to the doctors the other day to have the results of the biopsy, and they've given him a year to live. It's as bad as it can be.
"They're saying it's the strongest grade of tumour. It is in the brain, it affects his speech and his understanding and his movement on his right side so they can't operate on it."
He added: "They're going to put him on radiotherapy and chemotherapy and it's just prolonging it. They said the best case, it'll be a year."
