Cosmopolitan November 2014“I’m not shy about getting naked. I was filmed on all fours having a back, crack and sack wax for TOWIE. It gave me a new appreciation for what some girls go through on a regular basis,” James tells Cosmo about stripping off. “A lot of the people in TOWIE have had surgery but I wouldn’t get any work done – life is too short. Cancer Research is close to my heart because my grandad died of cancer; sadly it affects everyone in some way. I’ve not had any scares before but I did have a mole removed once – you have to be careful and look out for changes to your body and skin,” he adds. 

The November issue of Cosmopolitan, featuring popstar Jessie J on the cover, is on sale in shops now and also available in digital edition on Apple newsstand. To see more of James on his shoot, visit Cosmo’s website.
