James Corden sells his five-storey north London home for up to £6million sparking speculation he plans to stay in the US

James Corden has sold his home in North London, sparking speculation that he plans to stay in the US.

The 42-year-old star used his pay cheque from the hit BBC comedy Gavin & Stacey to buy the five-storey home in Belsize Park. He is believed to have doubled the £3 million he paid for it in 2010.

Mr Corden, who moved to Los Angeles in 2015, is under contract to present The Late Late Show for US television network CBS until next August, after which it had been suggested that he could return to Britain.

James Corden wrote three series of Gavin & Stacey with Ruth Jones between 2007 and 2010 and an acclaimed Christmas special in 2019

However, he is regarded as an A-lister in America and counts Prince Harry, Jennifer Lawrence and Adele among his California-based friends.

A source said: ‘This house sale doesn’t necessarily mean that he has left the UK for good. The family will be looking for a new property in the UK that is more suitable for their three children.

‘That said, they love the States and there are always tempting offers going his way. He has managed to hold his popularity on both sides of the Atlantic.’ Mr Corden and his wife, Julia, who married in a star-studded ceremony at Babington House in Somerset in 2012, live in a £7.5 million mansion in Los Angeles with children Max, ten, Carey, six, and Charlotte, three.

He wrote three series of Gavin & Stacey with Ruth Jones between 2007 and 2010 and an acclaimed Christmas special in 2019.
