James Arthur suggests he had fall-out with "little b*tch" Louis Tomlinson

James Arthur has hinted that he had a verbal fight with One Direction's Louis Tomlinson.

Relations between the X Factor 2012 winner and fans of the boyband have been strained for weeks after the singer seemingly called the group a "marketing product".

Digital Spy reports that in a new series of Twitter messages which have now been deleted, Arthur revealed that a certain member of One Direction texted him insults.

When fans referred to Louis Tomlinson supporting Arthur during last year's X Factor, the 'Impossible' man replied:

"You are all correct I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for Louis Tomlinson...Not the years of working hard in the real world. Look, I do appreciate their help but like a lot of people.. When I said 1D were about marketing certain members of the band turned on me too...I meant no offence and they were pretty awful to me too I don't suffer them or pretend to like..."

He added: "I have nothing against One Direction fans or the band itself I have an issue with one member...they insulted me when I had nothing against them so now I don't pull any punches when I'm asked...[They] just said some things via text and the things that were said warrant my dislike for them so that's it...I'm not being ungrateful."

When asked which member of One Direction he was meaning, Arthur replied: "Well the one I called a little b*tch obviously coz he wouldn't say the things he said to my face."

The singer meanwhile recently admitted that he has been offered media training in the past, but it is something he is not interested in.
