"I thought Shannon was pretty cute. She was the main person I was hoping would be in there," James told the publication.
But aside from Shannon, James wasn't too keen on the rest of the cast joining him on the island... Specifically, the "mean girls" from Nick's season, Cat Henesey-Smith and Alisha Aitken-Radburn.
"I was worried that they would be in there for drama. I just wanted a peaceful time."
If the promos are anything to go by, peace isn't something James will achieve. Especially not with Richie Strahan and ex-girlfriend Alex Nation having a massive blow up.
