The former Strictly Come Dancing professional gave his opinion on Sunday night’s live show and he certainly didn’t mince his words.
The 42-year-old said the judges critique of Antony’s performance on Dancing On Ice was “justifiable” and thought the Coronation Street star would be a “pain” to work with.
James wrote on Twitter: “Watching @dancingonice and Anthony Cotton just got destroyed by the judges but justifiably.
“Also, is it just me but he seems like he could be a right pain to work with. Doesn’t come across likeable at all. #DancingOnIce.”

Coleen Nolan and EastEnders star Shane Richie’s son also waded in and shared their thoughts on the 42-year-old actor.
Shane Nolan replied to the dancer’s tweet: “I’ve heard he’s a t*t.”
Another one of James’ followers agreed with his statement and said Antony talking back to the judges made them feel “uncomfortable”.
The former Celebrity Big Brother housemate responded, referencing Len Goodman’s words to Will Young on the BBC competition: “Yep! He needs to ‘Turn up, Keep up and Shut up’.”

Antony was voted out of the figure-skating competition alongside Donna Air in the show’s first ever triple skate off with Max Evans.
And after his exit, the actor, who plays Sean Tully in the ITV soap, made sure his voice was heard as he reportedly hit back at James.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Antony replied to the ballroom dancer on Twitter in a now-deleted message which read: ”Currently doing two jobs at the moment, so please don't worry about my career.
"As for wondering what I'm like to work with, maybe take the guess work out and ask [his skating partner] @YayItsBrandee?
"I don't think you'll find the answer you're looking for. Trolls rarely do."

And Brandee Malto stuck up for the soap star and revealed Antony is “loving, caring and kind”.
Sticking up for her friend, she said: “Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are @The_JamesJordan.
“Antony is loving, caring and kind. He has a beautiful soul and I love that we are good friends now. My journey on @dancingonice has been amazing because of him.”
Dancing on Ice continues Sunday on ITV at 6pm.
