He's now hugely successful, with hits like 'Impossible' and 'Say You Won't Let Go', so we thought we'd find out what James Arthur likes to do when it comes to Christmas presents.

The 'Rewrite The Stars' singer joined Fleur East backstage at Hits Live, and admitted he goes "way too far" when it comes to buying presents for his family. Revealing last Christmas he, "went in the most" buying two cars as presents, he said, "I look after my family, life has been good to me and I like to share it with my family."

James went on to reveal he likes his family's reaction as they open the presents from him. Last year he bought a car for his Dad AND his little sister, "I like that that feeling," he explained.

Fleur also asked James about Christmas traditions in the Arthur household, but he admitted it was mainly an argument! Explaining, "We have an argument probably, some sort of disagreement," the singer went on to say, "I like a good debate, I like to get involved." So beware if you're around James Arthur at Christmas!
