From Dorset to boy band, to ice skating and a range of TV shows - Duncan James certainly gets around!
Now he is trying his luck in the West End and the fans are loving it, “Dunk” as he is known by his fan club, has just begun his short stint as Billy Flynn in the sensational Chicago. When I first heard this news I didn’t think he could pull it off as he strikes me as a little too young to play the role and too under-qualified to stand up to Richard Gere’s Billy Flynn (my personal favorite). However I must say he is doing an impressive job and everybody seems pleasantly surprised with his performance, hey I’m sure his boy band good looks are pulling in theatre goers left, right and centre!
His stage presence is second to none and his vocal talents are perfect, although his dancing skills are disappointing….but luckily there is minimal dancing required and his professional nature is winning audiences over nevertheless.

His celebrity friends turned out in numbers on his opening night, from close friend Tara Palmer-Tomkinson to comedian Allan Carr, and judging from the audiences reaction I’d say Dunk is a sure fire hit in the West End. Get booking your tickets to see him quick as he finishes on the 18th August…….thats one month and seven Dunk days for all you Dunk fans out there!

Here is a sneaky peak at his vocal talents, I do apologise as the quality is quite bad and it does look like he is miming - I assure you he’s not!
