What did he say about his dad?
Last week, James said on Instagram: “Over the last 4 months my hero and best mate in the whole world has been in and out of hospital with very ill health.
“We were told several times that 100% he had had a stroke and that’s why they were struggling to control his seizures…
“But after the 3rd time of being admitted to hospital I knew something was not quite right.”
He added: “We have been told that it’s not advisable to operate because of where the tumour is and wouldn’t actually make that much difference even if they could.
“The end result is, it’s terminal.”
