It comes after James opened up about his retirement plans, admitting he doesn't have any. He told Hello!: "I've got no plans as yet to do that and I'm looking at new projects all the time."
The former Saturday Kitchen host star is currently juggling television projects, restaurants, cook books as well as other jobs, therefore it's hardly a surprise that he added: "Some more relaxation might be great!"
James appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2005 and finished in fourth place. Despite his success on the BBC programme, the Yorkshire-born star confessed reality TV is not in the pipeline for him.
"I've no plans at the moment. The Saturday Show and The Adventures keep me pretty busy," he told the publication.
