James shared a snap of himself as a toddler with his followers

The 48-year-old must have been feeling nostalgic again, as back in January he shared two rare personal photographs featuring his younger sister with his followers. 

The photos, taken when James and sister Charlotte were just children,  showed the siblings sweetly holding hands as they posed together outside, while in the second James appeared on his own, standing in the garden.

Poking fun at his now-dated attire, James joked: "Stripes never did suit me… Neither did dungarees!"

Despite sharing glimpses into his childhood, James is notoriously private when it comes to his personal life these days. He has been in a long-term romance with girlfriend Louise Davies since 2011, although the pair are rarely pictured together.
