COMEBACK king James Arthur turned down a £250,000 pay cheque to be on Celebrity Big Brother.

The X Factor winner suffered a fall from grace when he was dropped by Simon Cowell’s record label in 2014, just two years after winning the ITV talent show, after a series of offensive public outbursts.

Having committed what was seen as career suicide, the 28-year-old was shunned by record labels and didn’t know where his next pay cheque would come from.

But despite being at rock bottom, James has revealed he still turned down massive sums of money to appear on reality shows including Celebrity Big Brother and I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

He told the Daily Star Sunday: “I got offered loads of reality shows including I’m A Celebrity and Celebrity Big Brother.

“They were life-changing amounts of money. The most I got offered was £250,000 for CBB, which I really needed at the time, not knowing if I had a career.

“I think they thought I was a crazy Twitter troll and didn’t realise I am a shy, self-deprecating guy.
