James Arthur has sacked his PA on Twitter, blaming him for a string of sexual, aggressive text messages sent to a model.
The fiasco began when model Teddy Edwardes (nope, us neither) posted a screenshot of an apparent conversation between herself and Arthur on Twitter, in which he tells her he'd like to "f*ck the living sh*t" out of her. After she declines, Arthur delivered some of the most toe-curlingly horrendous 'put-downs' to Edwardes, in which he told her not to "flatter" herself.
@JamesArthur23 aka Sloth just text me this 🙈🙈 What an embarrassment to men 🔫 pic.twitter.com/t5yTOd3HC6

Arthur promptly denied Edwardes' claims, announcing to his fans he had "never met" the model. Bad idea - she then posted a series of more texts from the singer, much to the delight of her followers. Arthur then blocked Edwardes.

Arthur continued to deny the texts were from him, which prompted Edwardes to publish the X Factor winner's number on Twitter. Arthur then claimed the number was actually his PA's, to which Edwardes, and everyone else, dubbed a big fat "LIE".
“@JamesArthur23: no that is one of my PA's numbers that has now been fired.. I've never heard of you.. Go away now please. Thanks.” LIE.

In a further twist, Arthur's ex-mate and fellow former X Factor contestant Lucy Spraggan confirmed the number to be the 'Impossible' singer's, before deleting the tweet.
Don't worry, though, yeah, Arthur's not letting it ruin his day, yeah?
I'm off to enjoy my day off now ladies and gents. Don't stop believing yeah. May the force be with you yeah. Keep the dream alive yeah.#LOVE
