James posed for pictures with his daughter Bodhi - who he shares with ex Chloe - as they spent quality father-and-daughter time together.
The star split from the daughter of Richard and Judy when Bodhi was just one years old.
Last week, in a candid interview, he opened up about the real reason the pair's marriage came to an unexpected end.
He's now admitted that his love of drinking contributed to the end of the relationship, describing their final year together as a "difficult period".
He told the Daily Mail: "If I put more time into my marriage than I did Guinness, then I wouldn't be divorced now.
'It's one of those things in life where some things don't work out, but I have so much love for my daughter and Chloe,' he said. 'It's team work.'
Ensuring he is doing all he can to spend time with his little girl, James wasted no time in getting involved in the action at Sunday's Dora event at The Barbican in London.
Dora's Rainforest Fiesta welcomed a slew of star-studded faces and their offspring to celebrate the launch of the iconic franchise's latest toys and products inspired by the
beloved preschool series.
The event saw the stars transported into the tropical rainforest world of everyone's favourite explorer in order to tease excitement ahead of the brand new series of Dora streaming on Paramount+ from the 4th of July.
Charlotte Crosby was the event's biggest name as she brought along her two daughters - Alba Jean and Pixi Cici - as well as her partner, Jake Ankers.

Season three of DORA will be available to stream on Paramount+ from 4th July before launching on Nick Jr on July 7th.

Love Island viewers grow tired of Shakira joke minutes into launch episode as they complain 'we're going to hear it all series!'
Love Island viewers have revealed they are 'already annoyed' after two jokes were made about a contestant's name. Construction project manager Shakira, 26, was one of the first Islanders to make her way into the villa as the new series kicked off on Monday. But quick off the mark a joke was made about her name, as a fellow Islander referenced iconic popstar Shakira. While introducing herself to one of the girls, Shakira revealed her name and Sophie Lee replied: 'Oo and your hips don't lie.' Just minutes later another similar joke was made again - and fans of the show were left rolling their eyes at the prospect of it continuing all series. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. They wrote on X, formerly Twitter: 'Are they gonna sing "shakira shakira" all the time,'; 'Gonna be hearing the Shakira references the whole season aren't we,'; '"hips don't lie shakira shakira" STOP,'; 'They're 1000% gonna wear out the Shakira jokes i can feel it,'; 'I'm already annoyed by how many times they are going to make the Shakira joke,'; '"them hips don't lie" "shakira shakira" i know she's tired,'; 'We are gonna hear Shakira Shakira all season aren't we,'; 'The Shakira references are going to get old let's stop that now,'; '"My name is Shakira" ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY "oooo them hips don't lie",'; 'Can we get some new material or is it just gonna be Shakira Shakira my hips don't lie all summer.' The latest installment of the reality dating show begins on Monday night with host Maya Jama set to introduce a new batch of sexy singletons looking for love. The ladies - Shakira, Meg, Alima, Sophie, Megan and Helena - are first to enter the villa with talk soon turning to the boys they could potentially couple up with. However, in contrast to recent series, it won't be the viewers that will be picking the couples, but instead the girls will be tasked with choosing their boys based on their dating profiles. Explaining the huge change, Maya tells the girls: 'This year things are slightly different. You've told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality? Come and join me by the pool.' As the girls line up, she continues: 'Girls, in front of you there are six love hearts and each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts - shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?' The girls then check out the descriptions of the island's boys - Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu and Tommy. They then have to decide to who they'd like to pair up with based on key stats with the boys' name, age, job and a headline. Headlines includes lines such as: 'I like to play hard and work harder! I love to play, so I work very hard...' in order to help the girls make their big decisions. After discussing the boys' profiles and attempting to figure out which lad could be right for them, Maya then forces them to make their choice. Counting to three, the stunner informs the ladies that they must run to their chosen heart, with only one girl allowed to stand next to each heart. With mere seconds to make their choice, it remains to be seen whether they get the man of their choice or will be left to beg for a swap. Meanwhile, following the decisions, the boys then enter the villa and meet their matches one-by-one.

East 17 icon feels 'absolutely amazing' as he's baptised by The Krays' henchman
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The prospect of being held underwater by one of The Krays' henchmen is not one most people would jump at — unless you're East 17's Terry Coldwell. Terry, 50, gladly put himself in Chris Lambrianou's arms to be baptised at the River Church in London's East End. Seven born-again Christians stepped into the water with the 83-year-old former gangster, who spent part of his life as a member of 'The Firm'. The Firm was the nickname given to Ronnie and Reggie Kray's gang, based in Bethnal Green, London, throughout the 50s and 60s. A video shared by the Daily Mail showed Terry, speaking with Chris and the church's pastor, Dave Gill, as he stood in waist-high water for the ceremony. 'I've just been baptised and I feel absolutely amazing,' the Stay Another Day hitmaker told the Daily Mail. 'The service has been phenomenal today.' Terry added: 'I just feel great. I feel it was a long time coming and I'm really glad I did it.' A baptism is usually performed by a priest or bishop, but there are no restrictions on this in the Bible. East 17 rose to fame in the 90s, consisting of Terry, Tony Mortimer, Brian Harvey and John Hendy, with over 18million albums worldwide. The lineup has changed over the years, with Terry remaining constant, although he recently shared that he doubted a reunion was likely. Meanwhile, Chris had a very different career and would probably rather have avoided the spotlight entirely. He was involved in the dumping of Jack 'The Hat' McVitie's body after he was stabbed by Reggie in 1967. During his prison sentence after being arrested for armed robbery, Chris found God and moved away from his life of crime. Of the baptism, he shared: ''Baptising so many people gives me a spiritual high. It's like you cannot buy the feeling I have. More Trending 'That can only come from Jesus Christ. Trust in him and he will never fail you.' He also set up a charity with a former Metropolitan police detective, Jon Wedger, to help provide work for young people and keep them from turning to crime. Jon attended the Sunday service along with some close friends and said: 'I found the service to be very moving. I've know Terry for a few years and his faith has got stronger and stronger and I think it's been niggling away at him to get baptised for a while now. 'Myself and Chris have worked together for a while now. He is a man who has turned his back on crime and devoted himself to God and is making a difference now in people's lives and helping youngsters avoid making the same mistakes he did.' Got a story?
