Former Blue star Duncan James is becoming an amateur detective after thieves broke into his mother Fiona’s home at 2 am and stole his BMW X5. “I felt sick to the stomach when my mum called,” Duncan said. “She was at home in bed with her best friend in the next room when they broke in. The scumbags must have known what they were looking for because they moved my mum and her friend’s cars out of the way first then took mine. I don’t care about the car I care about my mum.” The singer added, “It all happened so quick about ten minutes and they were gone. The police have been around and fingerprinted the whole place. It’s a real mess but we should get them.”

Duncan James isn’t happy with his mother Fiona Inglis for selling personal items from his days with Blue on eBay. “Duncan is not happy with his mother. It’s very embarrassing,” a friend said. “She seems completely unrepentant, though. Duncan has had words but she doesn’t seem to see the problem with selling his stuff. She sells other items, but to sell signed belongings, including backstage passes for old Blue tours, is mortifying for Duncan. She gets people to send payment to her as F. Inglis. She’s been selling on ebay since April 2003 and has been doing a very brisk trade. She’s never had a complaint from buyers either who are all big Blue fans.”

ContactMusic.com reports that Blue star Duncan James is now a father with word his former lover Claire gave birth to a baby girl, Tianie-Finn James, who weighed 8 pounds. Duncan said, “I’m over the moon.”

Blue star Duncan James admits his life is set to change when ex-girlfriend Claire gives birth to their daughter in April. “Becoming a father has made me not want to go out and get drunk with my mates,” the 24-year-old told Reveal magazine. “I’m not interested in one-night stands. I have something else to concentrate on, someone much more important than me. It wasn’t planned, but I’m ready for this. I’ve got three women in my life right now - my mum, Claire and our baby daughter. I don’t really have time for anyone else.”
