Former boy band singer Duncan James has taken on a new role as a judge on a new talent show called Don’t Stop Believing.

He also spoke to BBC Breakfast about the show and what career he might have gone into.

Here are a few screencaps from last nights ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ show.

As you know, tonight was the start of new talent show ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ which sees Duncan being one of the 4 judges. To celebrate the new shows start, i figured i’d make a new layout. I hope you like it as much as we do. Please feel free to leave your comments on what you think! Also, gallery theme will be coming later this week when i get some free time.

Enjoy!

Taking a break from his blossoming West End career, wacky Watch gameshow Scream If You Know The Answer and the Blue reunion, Duncan James is one of the star names on the Don’t Stop Believing judging panel. We caught up with big Dunc at the Five reality show’s launch earlier this week to chat about the new programme, the state of Blue and life on the road with Lee Ryan. *Hint* Never let Lee anywhere near a fire extinguisher!.

We are having troubles with the ARFD Tube at the moment but we will add the video as soon as possible!

Hi Duncan you alright?
Yes cheers mate are you?

Not bad thanks, although I need a wee.
Do you need to go?

No i’m ok, thanks. So this time last year you came out as being bi and since then, your career has blossomed – do you see a link?
I wouldn’t like to think that is the reason, but I guess it may have something to do with me being more comfortable with myself and it feels that I have been lucky with the work choices that i’ve made. I did “Plus One” a really fun comedy thing and I think people saw me in a new light because I was taking the mickey out of myself and it was critically acclaimed. People thought I had a sense of humour and I was put up for “Legally Blonde” which I got which was a big, key thing and now i’ve got Don’t Stop Believing, Sunday nights on Five. It’s like a domino effect, which is brilliant and whatever the reason for it, it’s been great.

Duncan James has claimed that Blue will not be having threesomes on their reunion tour.

The pop singer and West End star said that the band are more “mature” then when they were first touring, claiming that they will be less outrageous on the road.

When asked about bandmate Lee Ryan’s recent revelations about the group enjoying threesomes with fans, James, said: “Lee always speaks out. You never know what’s going to come out of his mouth. It was quoted before and it wasn’t anything new. He just wanted to bring it back up again now.

“I called him and said, ‘Lee!’, and he said, ‘I’m sorry brother, the record company told me to spice up the interview!’. And I said, ‘that’s great, but why bring me into it!’ High fiving with the spit… oh God Lee!”

Speaking about the possibility of recreating the sex act, he said: “Probably not, no. No. I’d like to think we’re a little bit more mature now. I’d like to think we have grown up a bit and won’t be doing that… so much.”

He added: “But I am quite excited about getting back together with the lads, going around causing mischief. All the red tops will be loving that we are getting back, because last time with Blue there were stories every day about something. Whether it was Lee shagging an alien, or whatever. It does make you think, what’s going to happen this time around?!”

James is a judge on new reality series Don’t Stop Believing, which starts on Sunday at 7pm on Five.

Duncan James wants to tour with Blue so he can meet more men. The hunky singer, who admitted his bisexuality in a newspaper interview last year, can’t wait to receive admiration from both male and female admirers when he plays his first concerts since revealing his sexuality.

When asked if he was excited about receiving female attention when the boy band return later this year, Duncan laughed and said, “And male attention please!”

The singer believes he will enjoy performing with Blue, also comprising Lee Ryan, Simon Webbe and Antony Costa, even more now he is open about his sexuality. He said, “For me after coming out in the press last year I’ve got a weight off my shoulders and I’m going to enjoy coming back in to Blue. I won’t be worrying about stuff, I’ll be comfortable in my own skin”.

Duncan, who has a five-year-old daughter Tianie-Finn from a previous relationship, is currently single but thinks his work makes it difficult to find love. He explained to BANG Showbiz, “I am single at the moment. It’s really hard to meet people in this business. Your schedule is different, you’re working different hours so you can’t just go out on a Saturday or Sunday night and meet people.”
