ITV confirmed the news this afternoon, writing, 'The #XFactor stage is a second home for @JamesArthur23! Rumour has it he's quite missing it... Catch him on Saturday night, we're so excited to have him back! #XFactorCelebrity'. sic
James, who won the show back in 2012, also tweeted his excitement, telling fans, 'Excited to say I'll be making a return to @TheXFactor on Saturday night to perform 'Quite Miss Home'. Tune in at 8.30 on @ITV'. sic
