Background
James grew up in rural Northumberland before moving to London where he attended South Bank University and gained a BA (Hons) degree in Media and Business. After working for a variety of media companies in Seattle in the USA, he returned to London and began working for the BBC.
Outside of television he can often be found indulging in his other passions: travel and adventure. He is equally at home in the wilds of the Masai Mara or Patagonia as he is in South West London.
James also has a love of all things Arctic and spends most winters skiing across northern Scandinavia.
Fordi James liker å være i Arktis, han også snakker litt norsk.
