Duncan James was spotted in the Mac cosmetics store a few weeks back trying to claim his 30% Mac Pro discount despite not having brought his Mac Pro card or any suitable photo ID. Which is fair enough. 30% is a large saving and this is a professional expense – he’s a West End star now and they are responsible for providing their own make-up.
However, it seems that he’s not afraid to work his charm, pull strings and cadge favours even when he’s off the clock and not entitled to a discount.

“My husband and I were queuing for cinema tickets in the very unglamorous Hatfield Galleria and, as we were discussing which film to see, the guy in front of us turned round and started advising us (VERY loudly) on what he thought was good. It was Duncan James.
“We politely smiled and nodded, then when he got to the front of the queue he proceeded to try to convince the bemused ticket man that he shouldn’t have to pay for his tickets as he was sure that ‘his mate’ would let him in. The ticket man clearly had no idea who he was or what he was talking about, so after a very cringey few minutes, poor tight-fisted Duncan gave up and sloped off out of the cinema while we made a weak attempt to stifle our laughter.”
