"We're not officially back together," he said. "It's impossible to be in a relationship with anyone bearing in mind I can't meet anyone outside of my house and stuff like that. But I suppose on the positive note, she's no longer blocked on my phone."
James added: "Listen, we're friends at the moment and we have been in contact and you know, whatever happens between me and Gemma, we've been through a hell of a lot together and we're always going to be close."

Gemma spoke about the pair's relationship on Piers Morgan's Life Stories, explaining: "I was really happy with James, and we did get on, but the drugs changed him as a person, and I fought every day for three years to get him well."
During the candid interview, the reality star also revealed that James was the father of the baby she miscarried last year, and that he would have stepped up if they had the child. She also confirmed that James was the love of her life.
Gemma added: "The truth is it was only ever chaotic, not because we didn't love each other, not because there was good times. James became an addict."
