However, it was not all plain sailing for the star as he was left requiring treatment after injuring himself around the time of the final.
James was left needing shoulder surgery after suffering a tear whilst on the show.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, James said: “I had to have shoulder surgery after the show, because when I fell, I tore my rotator cuff.
“I loved doing the show and loved being part of it, but I knew what potentially could happen to me, and unfortunately, it did happen to me.”
The former Strictly pro then added: “The day before the final I tore my rotator cuff, and I had to have surgery, but that’s the risk I was prepared to take.
“I signed up to the show and I knew what I was doing.
“People might say it’s too dangerous, but the celebrities have decided to go on the show.”
James had originally considered quitting the show before the final as a result of the injuries but decided to push on in order to achieve success.
The current series of Dancing on Ice has been plagued by injury with a total of FOUR stars having pulled out.
Dame Sarah Storey quit the show before the series began as a result of injury whilst comedian Josh Jones left after just one week after injuring himself in rehearsals.
Pro Vanessa Bauer was forced to bow out of her partnership with Chris Taylor after injury whilst Charlie Brooks‘ partner Eric Radford missed a week after being left unable to compete.
The show is no stranger to stars getting injured over the years with the 2021 series forced to drop an entire episode after too many stars were unable to compete.
