According to James, he learned about the baby's gender at 7:30 in the morning of March 2019 while on the set of the beloved ITV soap's set. Moreover, the expecting father professed an excitement as well as eagerness with the prospect of having a daughter.

While the couple conceiving a baby was a pleasant surprise, it did a problem of a different kind.

Before learning about the pregnancy, James - as told to OK! Magazine - contemplated about getting engaged to his girlfriend, Sophie. He was going to do so while on their then-upcoming trip to Australia in November 2018.

But the pregnancy confirmation foiled his plans of getting married. Opening about the possibility of marriage, he explained:-

"I'd liked to have got engaged before now. I was going to ask Sophie in Australia when we were visiting my family last November but then we found out we were expecting."

James' wedding plans with his longtime wife Sophie prospect may be on the hold for the moment, but the pair - who have been dating since 2016 - is far from calling it quits.

Actor's Net Worth From TV Shows & Movies

The Brit actor told OK! Magazine in the stated interview that he may quit his role as Dr. Ali Neeson in Coronation Street and venture out to other projects.

Fighting With My Family - starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and actors like Nick Frost, Stephen Merchant, Vince Vaughn, and Jack Lowden - very well might be one of those projects.

Besides Coronation Street, James' acting credits in TV shows and movies include This Is England, Robin Hood, Eden Lake, Mount Pleasant, Prey, Lies & Records, and Safe House.

Although there is no definitive figure on his fortune, his net worth is definitely on the rise.

Family, Age & Height

Born on 7th July 1991 to a British father and mother named Ellie Burrows, James - age 27 - grew up alongside his sister Holly Burrows in Alvaston, Derby, England.

When he was 10, his family moved to Duffield part of Derby. The Safe House actor, who surpasses the five feet and eight inches height mark by ease, lives in Manchester with his girlfriend.
