After a string of controversial incidents from the X-Factor star James Arthur, fellow singer Olly Murs has defended him. This all happening as James takes a few weeks break with 'exhaustion'.

Things have got so bad that Arthur has had to ditch his Twitter account, after arguments between other celebs including Lucy Spraggan. Finally, James Arthur has taken a short break after he caused outrage by recording a rap 'diss' song which insulted several people.

In the rap Arthur called Micky Worthless a 'F****n queer'. This was in reply to Micky, after he slammed Arthur questioning his credibility as an X Factor winner.

James Arthur's comments caused outrage though, and resulted in others hitting back at him including Lucy Spraggan.

Former X-Factor star Olly Murs has since defended Arthur telling The Digital Spy:

"To be fair to James he did comment and he made a very good statement saying, 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say it,'"

He also went on to say:

"But, look, he's got a couple of weeks off I suppose to get himself back to scratch. He's a talented lad, he's got a great voice, great ability and hopefully he bounces back.

Olly also explained that most celebs go through problems at some point, and its just him at the minute.
