Duncan James is to cancel his future record releases and tour in a bid to focus on his TV career.

Duncan told Britain’s Sun newspaper: “I’ve decided not to release the single ‘Amazed’ because there’s so many other things going on at the moment.

“The schedule for ‘Dancing On Ice’ is so gruelling that I just don’t have any time to devote to music. There are some amazing offers coming in for TV presenting and theatre roles, so I want to focus on those.”

Duncan has also confessed he is desperate for the work because he is broke.

He said: “When I hit the big time with Blue I could spend, spend, spend. But now my bank account is nearly always empty!

“I bought a house for my mum and a house for the mother of my daughter, Tianie, who I pay child maintenance for.

“I’m hoping I stay in ‘Dancing On Ice’ for as long as possible – and that it then leads to some TV presenting jobs. Otherwise I won’t be able to keep up my mortgage repayments!”

Its hard to imagine a celebrity broke……I feel for him, it’s not nice to be skint!
