James was born in Salisbury, Wiltshire. He grew up an only child in Dorset and was raised primarily by his mother and grandparents after his father abandoned his mother before he was born. He was raised a "strict Catholic" and educated at Dumpton School (where his grandfather worked as a music teacher), Milldown School (Blandford Forum), Corfe Hills School (Broadstone), and Sidmouth College (East Devon). At age 15, he played Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream. He played Dr Watson in Sherlock Holmes for Sidmouth Youth Theatre.

He has a daughter named Tianie Finn by former girlfriend Claire Grainger, coming out as bisexual in an interview with the News of the World on 12 July 2009. However, he identified himself as gay in several 2013 interviews.
