Lucy Spraggan has taken to Twitter to share her real feelings towards James Arthur after the pair had a bitter feud over his use of homophobic language.

She has now said that she doesn’t believe that James is homophobic although she clearly does not approve of his choice of language.

Following his comments, the pair shared a series of harsh texts towards one another but Spraggan has now confirmed her feelings on the situation through social media.

She wrote: “There has been a lot of discussion around my tweets to James Arthur last week and I'd like to make my views clear.

"This is a sensitive subject and I want to clarify that, whilst I know James isn't a homophobe and I didn't intend for my tweets to be read that way, I did want to confront an issue that I feel really strongly about and which is what I had hoped to highlight.

"Homophobic language has sadly become so engrained into everyday conversation and people don't realise the discriminating and devastating effect it can have.

"Stonewall are carrying out an amazing campaign at the moment about the use of language which is something I fully support and I hope everyone takes the time to look into."
