James, who is also well known for his reality TV appearances including the 2019 series of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, says: “My whole experience being here today, meeting the semi-finalists and hearing their stories has been amazing. I’ve dedicated my life to health and fitness, I know how hard it is to change your body, mindset and life and that’s something each of these women have worked hard to achieve, they’re already winners. I really enjoyed stopping by at Hair & Beauty at Slimming World while I visited Head Office – it's such a great space and looks really impressive.”
