His two female companions in the car then decide to change the stereo of the vehicle to play You're Beautiful in a bid to help James seduce the stunning brunette.
However, James told MailOnline that the scene was actually only included at the last minute after he met the woman the day before the video shoot.
He said: 'Look out for the girl walking past in the middle of the video - she was a journalist who'd interviewed me the day before. I'd asked if she'd like to be in the video, but the director said there was no space for her in the script.
