We were a little freaked out a few hours ago, when we heard rumours circulating about James Arthur.

Some X Factor insiders claimed that the singer songwriter had been carted off in an ambulance following his performance on the earlier live show and the reports seemed to be backed up by the fact that the 23 year old was nowhere to be seen, when all his fellow contestants appeared on ITV2′s Xtra Factor.

Speaking on the spinoff show, Caroline Flack said:

“James Arthur is feeling a little bit unwell, so he’s gone to see someone to make him feel better.”

Unreality TV has found out that yes, an ambulance was called for the hopeful but no, he is not in hospital as some sources have suggested.

We have been reliably informed that James wasn’t feeling well after the show so an ambulance was called as a precaution.

He was treated by medics for a short while, but after the Xtra Factor Rylan Clark went to see him and they both got out and headed back to the hotel.

Rylan will be disappointed, as he’d been planning to go and watch Carolynne Poole performing in GAY after the show.

Does that set your mind at rest readers? Leave your comments below and let’s hope James is well enough to perform on tonight’s results show.

Meanwhile, see where we ranked Arthur and his fellow contestants in our X Factor week 2 chart here.
