James also asked for a fruit platter with a side order of Nutella, which he chose to wash down with cases of pale ale.

More starry options included Egyptian cotton towels, which had to be egg shell in colour and a Playstation.

A star's "rider" refers to the little extras an artist receives from the promoter at a gig, usually in their dressing room.

Typical riders include things like food and beverages, but they can go beyond this and include things like the number of dressing rooms a star requires, what kind of furniture they would like in the rooms, and more.

Some of the most extreme riders come from global superstars. 7 Some of the items James required at V Festival

Mariah Carey is the most famous, with her notorious extravagant rider including "20 white kittens and 100 doves".

Then there was heavy metal band Korn, who once required: "Access to a 'Rock Friendly' lawyer, medical doctor, dentist, masseuse and/or chiropractor"

Rock band Van Halen wanted all "brown M&Ms" to be removed from the bowl of sweets.

Cher required an entire "wig room".

Rockers Motley Crue wanted: "Alcoholics Anonymous meeting locations, a jar of creamy peanut butter, a 12-foot-long boa constrictor, and a jar of Grey Poupon mustard."

While singer Gnarls Barkley once required: "One pack of Magnum condoms."

But this was not the case for James, who opted for low-key stuff like sliced lemon and hot water.

Meanwhile, James revealed the reason behind his recent weight loss. He told The Mirror: “I’ve been vegetarian for a little while. But then I watched the Netflix documentary What The Health and now I’m vegan. 7 James credits his recent weight loss down to being a vegetarian Credit: Getty - Contributor “I’m a singer and dairy stuff isn’t good for you. I’ve also got a Fitbit health tracker. I was carrying loads of weight and it was terrible being fat.” "He also said he is feeling more confident now, following his time out of the limelight:“I don’t take myself seriously any more and I feel great."
