IM GOING TO SOUTH AFRICA!!!!!! - Not on Big Brother

Hey Guys,

Big Big Big apologies for a week and a half without an update! And what a crazy week and a half it has been as well! So as you can see by my last post I was awaiting news about taking part in a reality show out in South Africa called the Bud House. And I'm sure you can tell by the title how happy I am right now as I got confirmed!!! Amazing! So unbelievably excited at the moment and when I found out I was going crazy and jumping around the flat going mad! Its like a dream come true! I love football, I love Beer and I love new experiences and here is one heading my way again!

I am so incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to go out to the World Cup in South Africa and to represent England out there. 32 nations represented by 1 person for each country, living together and also getting the opportunity to go on excursions and to go to some of the games! Going to be absolutely amazing! I have been getting frustrated with London and finding myself desperate for another adventure and this is just what I needed to sort me out! Perfect. Go to a country I have never experienced before as well.

Now, this show is going to be available to watch online, I assume through the Bud House website, which when I get the link I will post on the blog before I go. They are looking to do an incredible 6 episodes a day for viewers to access online which is unbelievable. I will have NO phone and NO access to the Internet so will be away from anything from home. This will be fantastic. ha those that know me most know how attached I am to my phone and it will incredible to not have to worry about my phone or anything and to just enjoy the experience.

BIG BROTHER

The second part of my title will make you all laugh. Due to a comment posted on someones Facebook page, it has been spread round that I am due to be going on Big Brother. Not at all is the answer. I've had journalists phoning this person up 3 or 4 times, I had journalists phoning my agency up and also my name has been given to certain publicity agencies. It is unbelievable now a days how quickly a rumour can spread round, from one little comment on a social networking site. Maybe its due to the fact people are not believing I'm going to South Africa or what, but it is ridiculous.

First of all, why would I need to go on to Big Brother? I model full time, I'm developing my experience as a presenter and I have a happy family away from any unnecessary media attention. By going into big brother, majority of people (not all) are seeking fame. Now I believe some go into that environment to raise their profile and it can work for people. I have some friends who have been in there before and the reason I consider them as friends is because I actually believed they went in there for the right reasons. I have absolutely no use for going on that show as it would ruin my reputation modelling and also in developing a TV presenting career.

People will soon be seen to have egg on my face when I am not on that show. I just am encouraging people to check out what I really am doing and that they can access this online.

Moving away from that.

I am now trying to sort every single part of my life before I leave, as I will be moving flats at the start of August not long after I am back. I have had to move a holiday planned for Ibiza until after I am back. As well as juggle around work and make sure everything is completely sorted before I leave and before I have no contact with home.

I will keep sending updates before I go. If anyone has any questions for me please do not hesitate to send a message to me.

James

Contact Lens Job - Amazing how its shot

Hi all, Yesterday I had a job for a contact lens company that to be honest I didnt really know too much about what the job entailed. I arrived a nice late call time of half 10 to see a studio that was filled with people and everything was in the process of being set up. It was a commercial, or so I thought. What I then found out a bit later was that I was shooting a "how to use contact lenses" video for the companies website. Very random, but at the same time I must admit I thought very very easy! mistake! So the day started sitting chatting to the girl model there, an Anerican girl called Mel, married to an English Director, who had some amazing stories to tell. Thats whats great about jobs sometimes when you get to meet such a range of people with some incredile stories. Mel was great and we got on great, which always makes a job a lot easier. Make up artist had some great stories too about jobs when she was younger and abroad, about all the inner crew relationships! ha ha

Shipwrecked - where it all began

Hey anyone who's reading this, So, I'm going back in time a little bit here, OK 3 and a half years, but this is where my new life all began. Over 100,000 people applied to be on Shipwrecked Battle of the Islands 2007, and I was 1 of an extremely fortunate group of about 31 (something like that) that were given the opportunity to participate on this show. After a somewhat short audition process I was some what rushed through and told I had under 2 weeks till I was going to be on the show! You can imagine my ridiculously excited response to all this, leading to me getting on the wrong train home that night from London! Who cared though! Not me! During the audition process I happened to speak a lot to a girl who also was told shes going on the show! This was unheard of! We weren't suppose to be talking but knowing that she was going to be there a week before me certainly helped put my mind at ease. And as the first contestant I knew, its ironic that she is the main 1 person I

Working on ITV Jackpot247

First of all excuse the expression on my face ha ha - difficult capturing a screen shot whilst live on TV and you never know what kind of faces you will be pulling ha. I'm also sure those who are watching probably see me do things and say things that I have no idea why I'm saying ha, so I apologise for that. HOW IT STARTED After working on another casino show on and off for 4 years, I was always looking to start moving things forward and to look for new opportunities, and to be brutally honest to get out of the previous place. (I'm not going to talk about the other place in this post but will do another one specifically about that very soon.) The opportunity came up a while ago when a friend of mine started working for the company Netplay on Supercasino which is on channel 5. He has the same agency as me and so our booker sent my showreel over to them. Fortunately for me, they kept hold of my details until they started recruiting again and I was very lucky to be abl
