surprised it's the BBC actually, wouldn't have thought that James would follow a BBC line...

anyway, do we know when he's back on air? Is the show just music or does he chat and allow phone-ins? Hope it's the latter as I can't see him keeping schtum on his time in the BB house

I think any self-repecting shock jock will have any opinion you want as long as it pays well

I would like to hear his honest opinions on what went on - and what his take on the heavily edited version we have been presented with.
But only after the final
I don't know why - but he just looked a bit frail these past few days .

As a Whale fan i was disappointed in his performance - he did seem frail and especially in the Aubrey incident seemed cowered like a frightened child , much at odds with his customary on-air baravado.
Id be interested to hear what hes got to say.
What struck me about him nominating Aubrey was that he tried to style it out by saying it was a joke and he didnt expect Aubrey to take it so badly - but these were nominations done in private so he didnt expect Aubrey to know about it - so it wasnt in any way a joke or done with any consideration to what Aubrey would or woudnt think about it.
Thanks for the link skyrah.

Apparently he contracted asthma whilst in the house - maybe that's why he was so quiet.

He's on from 6-9am. No music, it's all mostly serious, current affairs with a bit of chat and phone-ins. But is he going back to it I'm wondering?

He used to be brilliant when he had a radio show in Newcastle. Can't remember if it was Metro or Central but i loved his banter. Didn't see any of his sparkle on the house, maybe age has calmed him down

I think his cancer was a life changing event for him
