Duncan James is best known for being one quarter of the band Blue. ‘Duncanfromblue’ as he sometimes refers to himself!

Blue, currently in their 25th Anniversary year, have enjoyed incredible success since forming in the year 2000 and releasing their first single All Rise in 2001.

Their remarkable career has seen them sell over 16 million records, score international hits and collect awards around the globe.

As a solo performer, Duncan appeared in Dancing On Ice, where his weekly skates earned him a place in the 2007 final. He has also appeared in many hit theatre shows including Chicago, Legally Blonde, The Rocky Horror Show and Priscilla Queen of the Desert. He also had a number 2 hit single with ‘I Believe My Heart’ from the Andrew Lloyd Webber West End show The Woman In White.

In 2016 Duncan joined the cast of Hollyoaks playing the role of Ryan Knight. Over the years alongside the theatre and other acting roles Duncan has also presented for Disney Channel UK, Party in the Park and GMTV – and more recently was a regular contributor on Good Morning Britain. Alongside Christine McGuiness, he won the TV show Celebrity Hunted, raising money for ‘Stand Up 2 Cancer’.

For the past few years however, Blue has returned to the Spotlight, rebuilding their success from two decades ago, culminating in this year’s Number 2 album Reflections, which features the lead single ‘One Last Time’. Written by Duncan, this track has become a firm favourite on tour and has been played on radio up and down the country.

2026 also saw the start of Blue’s 25th Anniversary World Tour, with Part One completed and Part Two beginning this Autumn. Taking in Arena’s in Italy and Germany (following a sold our theatre tour) as well as Paris, Zurich, and the Middle East, the band will hit Asia in January 2027.

Duncan is a huge fan of Abba and said yes immediately when he was asked to appear in the show.

Antony Costa

Antony Costa is best known for being one quarter of the band Blue. The other boys call him Rolex as he’s always on time and his memory is second to none! In fact without Antony they aren’t sure how much of the last 25 years they would remember!

Blue, currently in their 25th Anniversary year, have enjoyed incredible success since forming in the year 2000 and releasing their first single All Rise in 2001.

In the 2000’s they had three consecutive Number 1 albums, ten top-ten singles, and multiple number 1’s. They have sung alongside legends from Elton John to Stevie Wonder and performed on the world’s biggest stages.

Throughout the years, the boys have had many solo projects of their own and Antony has a particular love for the stage, both singing and acting. He has appeared in many successful stage shows in the West End and on tour, including Dreamboats and Petticoats, Agatha Christie’s The Cat and the Canary, Blood Brothers, Boogie Nights and a Judgement in Stone.

More recently Antony appeared in Mamma Mia! The Party at the O2 in London, and is now a font of knowledge on all things Abba! Joining All Stars – The Music of ABBA, means he gets to sing even more of the hits, which is something he’s very much looking forward to.

Antony appeared in I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2005 as well as in Celebrity MasterChef, which aired at the end of 2025. He was very proud to reach the semi-final, and as a self-confessed novice in the kitchen, he found a new love for cooking.

For the majority of the past few years however, Blue has returned to the Spotlight, rebuilding their success from two decades ago, culminating in this year’s Number 2 album Reflections, with Antony being the one to start the writing process and deliver the first track ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still’ – which would be the beginning of a new direction musically for Blue and a path which much of the album followed.

2026 also saw the start of Blue’s 25th Anniversary World Tour, with Part One completed and Part Two beginning this Autumn. Taking in Arena’s in Italy and Germany (following a sold our theatre tour) as well as Paris, Zurich, and the Middle East, the band will hit Asia in January 2027.
