'And you'll be able to join us on Friday on Channel 4 at 9pm.'
The lovebirds - who tied the knot in 2012 and share two kids - are set to leave fans in stitches are they are well-known for their hilarious chats on their podcast At Home With The Buckleys.
He is now married to model Clair who he shares son Harrison, 11, and nine-year-old Jude with.
The couple host their own YouTube series and James is thought to have made more than £1 million through the celebrity greetings website Cameo.
James added: 'If we go on holiday, I get bored after the first day there because well, I've got my video games and stuff at home... If I have a holiday, I just want to spend a week at home with nothing to do. That would be my perfect holiday!'
The Finders Keepers actor previously revealed that the main motivation he would have to return to his role on The Inbetweeners would be financial.
He told Headliners: 'It's no secret that would be the most profitable thing I could go into right now.
'I do have children, I do have a family, I do have bills, and sometimes you've got to take that into consideration, just as a practical thing, a boring, dull, provider of a family thing.
'All that stuff I do think about and what's great is I know, if four of us boys get together — and (writers) Iain Morris and Damon Beesley — and we all have a little chat and we said 'Shall we go again?' I know it would be greenlit straight away.'
Earlier in January, James admitted he 'doesn't have much drive' to be an actor as he opened up about his career.
The actor, who found fame in the E4 sitcom The Inbetweeners in the late 2000s portraying character Jay Cartwright, revealed he isn't 'desperate' to take on new roles.
Instead James explained during an appearance on James Martin's Saturday Kitchen on ITV, that his 'favourite thing to do is to be at home'.
He said: 'I've got a film coming out next year at some point. It's called Mother's Pride, I've just done that with Martin Clunes, which was a lot of fun.
'But I'm not desperate to be an actor. I don't really have much drive, to be honest. My favourite thing to do is to be at home. It's got all my favourite people there, it's got all my stuff there.'
James has also appeared on the sitcom White Gold and starred in the West End production of 2:22 A Ghost Story in 2024.

Facing the sack, Scots police officer who used a racist slur in front of colleagues
A police officer faces the sack after a racist jibe left her colleagues in shock and landed her in court. PC Nichola Irvine, 52, made the remark at Glasgow 's Helen Street police office on March 1, 2023. Her comment came amid claims that cleaners were unhappy doing their job at the station. The constable responded with a crude comment about a 'reeking P***.' One fellow officer was so sickened by the slur she reported it to her bosses. It led to Irvine appearing in the dock at Glasgow Sheriff Court. She faces the end of her 15-year police career after she was found guilty of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner, which was said to be racially aggravated. The court heard that Irvine - who worked in the divisional co-ordination unit - had initially been talking with PCs Steven Love and Craig Blair that day. PC Laura Wylie later joined in with the conversation about the cleanliness of the building. Irvine said in her evidence: 'Miss Wylie started to laugh because Craig and Steven were moaning about the cleaners complaining about the state of the men's toilets.' PC Love told the court that Irvine then made the racial and sexual remark and PC Wylie backed him up but stated that the word used was 'humming' instead of 'reeking'. He responded to the remark by covering his face with his hands while PC Wylie was in 'utter shock' and told Irvine off about using racial stereotypes. She reported the matter to senior members of staff several days later. Irvine has been suspended since March 2023 and is subject to an ongoing disciplinary process. She denied in court making the racial comment stating to her lawyer Iain Cahill, that she instead said: 'Wouldn't it be good if we just got on with our jobs?' Irvine added that her two colleagues were '100 per cent mistaken' with their claims. When convicting her, Sheriff Diana McConnell said: 'I am satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt you made the comment that was abusive, vulgar and disparaging. You used a racial slur. 'In the whole context, it is likely that this would cause a reasonable person to suffer alarm. 'You were reckless to whether your conduct would cause alarm.' Sheriff McConnell fined Irvine a total of £520. Following the sentencing, Chief Superintendent Helen Harrison, Professional Standards Department, said: 'PC Irvine's actions go against everything we stand for. 'All officers are bound by our Standards of Professional Behaviour, which apply on and off duty. 'Any instance where an officer fails to uphold our standards will be investigated and appropriate action taken. 'A report will now be prepared for the Deputy Chief Constable for consideration of misconduct proceedings.'

AMANDA PLATELL: Meghan and Harry's twerking video makes a mockery of their desire for privacy. I know the pathetic, desperate reason behind it
At first I thought it was a joke when the video popped up on Instagram. It looked like Meghan, heavily pregnant, dancing around a hospital room and grabbing her huge baby bump while twerking her bottom for the camera. A hooded Prince Harry was rap-dancing in the foreground. Meghan, dressed in a black smock shaking her booty, while beaming and joking as she and Harry dance – she with far more ability than him – to the tune of Starrkeisha's Baby Mama song. All, apparently, in an effort to induce the arrival of their overdue second child Lilibet.

Ruthless England demolish West Indies to claim series win
England defeated West Indies by 143 runs in Leicester, securing the ODI series with one match remaining. Amy Jones (129 off 76 balls) and Tammy Beaumont (106) both scored centuries for the second consecutive game, setting a strong foundation for England's victory. England set a target of 367 runs, which proved too challenging for West Indies, especially with the absence of star player Hayley Matthews due to a shoulder injury. Realeanna Grimmond made a half-century on her ODI debut, but West Indies struggled to maintain momentum, losing their final six wickets for 69 runs. Alice Capsey starred with three wickets, and Kate Cross picked up her 100th ODI wicket, contributing to West Indies' collapse and England's dominant win.
