On Wednesday (June 12), James paid tribute to French music icon Françoise Hardy following her death aged 80. The late star was known as one of France’s best-loved singer-songwriters who burst on the scene in the early 60s with melancholy ballads.
Taking to Instagram, the This Morning star posted a gallery of snaps of the singer, adding the caption: "Françoise Hardy was and is an icon…RIP."
James likely became a huge fan while in France where he trained at Hostellerie De Plaisance in Saint-Émilion before working at the Maison Troisgros in Roanne.
Speaking on his upbringing, he also travelled to the South of France as a teenager, when Françoise had cemented her place in the music industry and ventured into acting.
