“Getting to come over to Australia and live with loads of single girls? I would just be in my element. I like things with challenges –with Love Island I would have the mission of trying to pull,” says James, who in the meantime is fighting off admirers online.

“The DMs are like class,” confirms James, who admits he gets sent racy pics “from both girls and boys – I haven’t been single for a long time, so I’m making the most of it”.

As for Geordie Shore, James tells NW he hasn’t closed the door on the MTV series.

“None of the originals are on it and everyone wants to see what we’re up to so they’ve been filming us in our normal lives,” says James.

“Gaz [Beadle] had a baby, Marnie [Simpson]’s got one on the way, so it’s just a totally different side to what everyone’s seen before from everyone.”

“Once again, our Islanders will take up residence in a spectacular luxury villa in the hope of finding love,” the ad on the official website reads.

“But to stay on the island, they need to couple up – and more importantly – win the hearts of the public.”

There’s a catch, though. You have to be between the ages of 18-35 and you must be “warm, honest, open and truly looking for love.”
