He’s been enjoying spending more time with his family amid the coronavirus lockdown.

And James Corden was every inch the doting dad as he spent quality time with his eldest daughter Carey, five, in Brentwood, California on Thursday. 

The Late Late Show host, 41, appeared to be having the best time with his little girl as he treated her to ice cream before pulling her in for a warm hug.

The TV star cut a casual figure for their outing, dressing down in a black T-shirt, navy patterned shorts and white trainers.

He shielded his eyes with a pair of dark shades and in place of a face mask, covered his mouth and nose with a patterned bandana. 

Meanwhile, little Carey looked adorable in a leaf patterned T-shirt, striped shorts and gold sandals.

The father and daughter duo seemed content as they held hands and chatted away while walking down the street.

James shares his daughter with his television producer partner, Julia Carey, who he married in 2012 at Babington House, a grand 18th century Georgian manor in Somerset.

The couple share three young children altogether, Max, nine, Carey and their two-year old toddler Charlotte. 

James has been keeping active in lockdown as has often been seen out and about with members of his family.

Earlier this week the Gavin and Stacey star enjoyed a bike ride with son Max in the Venice area of California.
