It comes after James, 37, revealed Kanye West had turned down the chance twice to appear on the show and that he is currently doing everything he can to secure Beyoncé.

On the Famous rapper bailing on him, he said: "Kanye has been booked to do [it] twice now but both times something came up. "He'll do it eventually... He wants to do it."

And on his plans to get the Hold Up hitmaker on board, he said: "It would break the internet. She's on tour right now. We're working on it."
