(339 PART 2) James Arthur bares all on X Factor victory, Syco setback and his ultimate comeback!
•
Hello all you Private Parters, welcome back to the podcast where nothing is off limits.
It’s Friday and we’ve got a HUGE guest for you this week. Today, Jamie is joined by an incredible talent, an X Factor winner, a platinum selling artist… It's James Arthur.
James won the ninth series of the X Factor, which saw him catapulted into fame, selling the most successful X Factor winner’s single in the show’s history.
They discuss his life before X Factor, from voluntary foster care to living in a bedsit to being homeless and how the X Factor really was his last shot at success.
He reminisces about the X Factor, the pressure that came with winning the show, and his downfall afterwards which resulted in him being dropped by his record label just a year after his victory. Plus he reveals how his comeback has made him stronger than ever.
If you have been affected by any of the discussions in this episode, Mind have a lot of information and resources on their website.
