He added that he could ‘cry his eyes out’ thinking about the final shows, but was contending with mixed feelings about winding up his time on the show.

‘It’s such an exciting feeling and terrifying and it’s just excited and scared at the same time,’ he said.

‘But I think that’s probably when the most exciting things happen. I haven’t been this scared since I decided to take the show and move to America to do it.

‘And that’s been a life-changing experience.’

Previously speaking about his decision to quit his talk show, James said that he wanted to spend time with his family and put roots down in London.

He told Drew Barrymore on her talk show it had not been ‘easy in any way’ to walk away but he ‘never ever considered it to be the final destination’.

The Late Late Show with James Corden airs on CBS in the US.
