It took him a while, but he got there in the end. Howya, Louis, thanks for joining us.
Speaking with OK! magazine, the X Factor judge / moulder of boy bands said of last year's X Factor winner, James Arthur
"He's a competition winner that got lucky. He came from a little beeehdsit, he should be a lot more graaateful and a lot more respectful to everybohdy. Don't get me gooohing. Nicole worked so haaard with him last year - she got him into the fiiiinal. He doesn't look cooomfortable in his own skin. He has taaaaalent but he's not Bob Dylan."
I know, Louis knows who Bob Dylan is, who knew! While his comments are on point, it would've made great telly if Louis had opted to express them after James gave something resembling an apology on The X Factor a few weeks back, but then nobody would be talking about his interview with OK! magazine.
For those who've not been keeping tabs on James Arthur's career trajectory, it's been taking something of a nose dive on account of him generally being a bit of an egotistical plank.
