James has opened up about the items that were stolen when thieves raided his home on the Spanish isle.

The You're Beautiful singer told Diario de Ibiza: "The thieves took about 10 items, including a black and white rug that my wife did not like, so I suspect she could be involved.

"They also took all my t-shirts and shirts, so they must not have a very good sense of style since I am not known for mine."

On a serious note he said his only "real sadness" was that they took a watch belonging to his grandfather, and a bayonet from his time serving in the Kosovo war.

James said he would gladly "pay a reward for their return," and they could contact him on email.

The police suspect three people were involved in the theft because of the number of fingerprints found inside the property.

James, his wife, Sofia Wellesley, and their children were not at home as their house was being renovated.
