James, 25, is a nuclear scientist from Cumbria.

Proud kilt-wearer James grew up in the east-end of Glasgow and moved to England after university.

He is a self-proclaimed board game geek and loves horror films from the 70s and 80s.

His enthusiasm for music is reflected in his baking style - which is now significantly better than it was during his childhood when he was burning pancakes in his mother’s kitchen.
