He has defied the odds and bravely fought off the disease despite fears he wouldn’t see another Christmas.
However, the 73-year-old was tested once again when he was rushed to hospital with the flu last week.
He was discharged from ICU today and has returned home to recover.
His relieved wife Nadine told fans: “After a worrying week I am happy to report that @THEJamesWhale is out of ICU and back at home, having batted off the Grim Reaper yet again.
“This time he tried with a bout of Influenza A, but without success.
“Our hero is home for NYE.”
Powerhouse presenter James has been a staple of the airwaves for 50 years.
James celebrated the milestone with hundreds of pals at an £80,000 bash in Mayfair – paid for by millionaire Charlie Mullins and organised by his pals Chuck Thomas and Andre Walker.
He also received the first-ever TRIC Recognition Award for his outstanding work across 50 years.
