James Arthur: "I think Louis Tomlinson especially has been a breath of fresh air"

Former X Factor winner, James Arthur, has voiced his admiration for current judge, Louis Tomlinson.

Speaking about the One Direction star, who was also a contestant, he said:

"I think Louis Tomlinson especially has been a breath of fresh air because he's not about the puns and the showbiz one-liners, he's genuinely saying I don't think this is great for a technical reason.

"I've actually enjoyed this year, maybe more than previous years because I like to see the judges giving unpopular criticism sometimes. Actual critique."

Arthur added that he could see himself as a talent show judge, he revealed to Metro:

"I would absolutely love to do it, whether it's on the UK X Factor or another show, I would love to do that one time.

"I don't know if I'd be popular though because if I'm not moved by something, I'm not going to pretend. I'd be along the same lines as Louis in terms of the sort of feedback I'd give."
