James Arthur apologises for 'abusing his position as an X Factor winner'
When we found out formerly acutely exhausted popstar James Arthur was gonna be making his big X Factor comeback amidst all the 'homophobic slur' drama, we were a bit concerned as to how the whole thing was gonna go. Would the audience boo? Would he break down on stage? Would Christopher Maloney swing in naked on a wrecking ball? So many bloody questions.
Well it turns out the whole thing actually went alright, sort of winning everyone back over with a rather good performance indeed. Oh, *and* he apologised on actual 'live TV'. DRAMA.
After his performance, Jimmy said: "I’ve made some silly mistakes, but I just want to thank all the people who've stuck with me, I wanna thank The X Factor for giving me the opportunity to do my dream job.

ITV turns to Twitter as X Factor goes off screen before Tamera Foster's exit
Channel updates viewers on result of crucial vote and latest from I'm a Celebrity as technical problems affect some regions
ITV turned to Twitter to tell viewers what was happening on The X Factor after technical problems caused a screen blackout and wiped more than 1 million off the show's viewing figures on Sunday night.
In the digital equivalent of watching football on Ceefax, ITV's official Twitter feed sent out updates with the hashtag #blankscreenupdate.
The blackout took place in central and northern England during Sunday night's The X Factor results show and I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!, two of ITV's biggest shows.
At the climax to the live Simon Cowell talent show, which was unseen by many viewers, @itv tweeted: "#blankscreenupdate The act leaving #xfactor is Tamera. Luke is safe."
Viewers used Twitter to complain about the loss of signal with others advising they try to watch in HD, which appeared not to be affected, or online.
The X Factor averaged 8 million viewers between 8pm and 9pm – down from 9.1 million the previous Sunday. I'm a Celebrity's audience was also down week on week, from 10.6 million to 9.7 million.
An ITV spokesman said: "There was a transmission issue last night that affected ITV viewers in northern and central regions. We apologised to viewers for the inconvenience caused.
"The transmission problem occurred towards the end of The X Factor results and during some of I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!"
It was the second time in a matter of months that the ITV signal has been lost in large parts of the country. Previously ITV repeated an episode of Emmerdale later the same evening because so many viewers were unable to watch it.

One Direction, Katy Perry and more confirmed for The X Factor 2013 live final
So there's only two weeks left of this year's X Factor to enjoy (boo), but even though we'll no longer be able to enjoy Luke Friend's face every Saturday and Sunday night, at least this season will be going out with a massive bang.
And who really cares about who wins the bloody thing (actually yes, we really do care about that) when the final's got One Direction, Katy Perry and *more* performing on the show? AGH, it's gonna be good.
Yep, 1D and K-Pez will be taking to the stage at Wembley as part of the massive X Factor final weekend, which also has the likes of Tom Odell and The Killers showing up for good measure.
But if all that's got you mum going 'who? WHO? Oh, music today', well she might like to hear that Gary Barlow will also be performing a ruddy duet with Elton John - can't get any better than that, can it?
WELL ACTUALLY IT CAN.
