The lovebirds - who tied the knot in 2012 and share two kids - are set to leave fans in stitches are they are well-known for their hilarious chats on their podcast At Home With The Buckleys.
He is now married to model Clair who he shares son Harrison, 11, and nine-year-old Jude with.
The couple host their own YouTube series and James is thought to have made more than £1 million through the celebrity greetings website Cameo.
James added: 'If we go on holiday, I get bored after the first day there because well, I've got my video games and stuff at home... If I have a holiday, I just want to spend a week at home with nothing to do. That would be my perfect holiday!'
The Finders Keepers actor previously revealed that the main motivation he would have to return to his role on The Inbetweeners would be financial.
He told Headliners: 'It's no secret that would be the most profitable thing I could go into right now.
'I do have children, I do have a family, I do have bills, and sometimes you've got to take that into consideration, just as a practical thing, a boring, dull, provider of a family thing.
'All that stuff I do think about and what's great is I know, if four of us boys get together — and (writers) Iain Morris and Damon Beesley — and we all have a little chat and we said 'Shall we go again?' I know it would be greenlit straight away.'
Earlier in January, James admitted he 'doesn't have much drive' to be an actor as he opened up about his career.
The actor, who found fame in the E4 sitcom The Inbetweeners in the late 2000s portraying character Jay Cartwright, revealed he isn't 'desperate' to take on new roles.
Instead James explained during an appearance on James Martin's Saturday Kitchen on ITV, that his 'favourite thing to do is to be at home'.
He said: 'I've got a film coming out next year at some point. It's called Mother's Pride, I've just done that with Martin Clunes, which was a lot of fun.
'But I'm not desperate to be an actor. I don't really have much drive, to be honest. My favourite thing to do is to be at home. It's got all my favourite people there, it's got all my stuff there.'
James has also appeared on the sitcom White Gold and starred in the West End production of 2:22 A Ghost Story in 2024.
