Relationship with former Gavin and Stacey co-star

Before falling in love with Julia, James had a two-year relationship with his Gavin and Stacey co-star Sheridan Smith. The pair first started dating in 2007 after starring in the hit sitcom, in which they played brother and sister; Smithy and Rudi. The pair split in 2008, before reuniting later in the year, with Jams telling the Mirror at the time: "Yes, Sheridan and I are back together and it’s going brilliantly."

However, the pair called it quits for good in 2009. In an interview a number of years later, Sheridan said of that time: "I wasn't someone who was in a frame of mind of settling down."
