Bleary-eyed
James Corden remained in high spirits as he dash out of his hotel following a wild night with
England Football stars. The Gavin & Stacey star organised a night out in
London to celebrate footballer Declan Rice . He was joined by Harry Styles as well as several members of the Three Lions squad as they enjoyed a night at The Chiltern Firehouse. Rice was named captain for the first time and won his 50th cap on Tuesday night. They were spotted leaving the private members club after 4am following England's 2-2 draw with
Belgium at Wembley. Later that morning, James stepped out of his hotel looking very tired as he hopped into a taxi. He wore a pair of jeans and a patterned over shirt as he gave the peace sign to passersbys. The comedian had a bag draped over his shoulder and smiled at his driver before heading off.

Late Show. He moved his family back to the
UK after eight years in
Los Angeles. The presenter, his wife Julia and their three kids were said to be looking for a pad in star-studded Hampstead, North London last summer. James is said to have sold the LA mansion his family lived in for £14.5 million – apparently £4 million less than he wanted for it. But the chat show host still made a massive profit on the purchase, which he bought for £8 million from Modern Family co-creator Steve Levitan back in 2017. The comic is set to star in a political play in London's West End titled The Constituent. It also features BAFTA winner Anna Maxwell as an opposition backbencher playing opposite James, another disgruntled constituent. James has now ditched chat shows in favour of returning to the theatre, 13 years after his debut. James was seen out until 4am in the capital ( Image: NO CREDIT) The comedian appeared tired as he headed home ( Image: NO CREDIT) However, since his return to the UK James came under
fire from Sharon Osbourne as she didn't hold back her opinions while in the Celebrity Big Brother house. Sharon branded James a 'name dropper' and accused the Fat
Friends star of "playing the LA game really well" and "kissing all the right people" in the States. The
Actor, who found fame on ITV's Fat Friends alongside pal Ruth Jones and won rave reviews for his role in One Man Two Guvnors in the West End in 2011, has kept a low profile since being slammed by fans in 2022 after being accused of "yelling" at a waiter in Balthazar restaurant,
New York. James' fans are still desperate for him to reprise his role as Smithy in the award-winning Gavin & Stacey, starring Ruth Jones and Joanna Page. Since the last
Christmas special episode ended with a major cliffhanger, many have been left wondering if Smithy accepted Nessa's proposal. It has been claimed that the
BBC and
Netflix are embroiled in a bidding war to secure the rights to another special episode. However, speaking exclusively to us, Alison Steadman said: "If we did another series or episode, I would absolutely love it. But at the moment, as far as I know, it's not going to happen."
