James has a heartbreaking quality to him; a sort of battered honesty, and much has been made of his father's abandonment of his family. Born in Rugby, he has an older sister and a younger brother.
When his parents who never married split up, James was four. 'All this abandonment stuff is so silly,' he says. 'My dad didn't abandon us and I'm having to set people straight on this all the time.' I imagine it rather suits his publicists to have him painted as some kind of little match boy, busking for his dinner. 'My dada [a painter/decorator] left because he was drinking and he and my mum [a nurse] fell out. He's still a drinker but not a fulltime drinker.' When James was 13, after years of moving around and never settling, he and his mother and siblings finally arrived in Porth, Cornwall which he now regards as home. To help with the bills, James's mother would take in lodgers and, when James was 16, a 22- year-old nurse called Gill moved in. 'I kind of got to know her over time,' says James of his girlfriend of five years. 'I was staying well clear, I didn't even flirt with her. But after a while I started to think, "What if she moves out? I'll never see her again and I really like her." In the end we got together I was just turning 17.' His mother, who had only just got her children settled and was trying to grow some roots, must have been horrified. 'Oh, she was,' he says. 'It was her worst nightmare scenario and it took her a good couple of years to forgive Gill.' Soon afterwards, Gill began to pine for her hometown of Derby.
