Misha's tears for X Factor James

Misha B is the latest star to confess that hearing X Factor hopeful James Arthur sing makes her teary-eyed.

The Home Run singer, who finished fourth on the last series of the ITV talent show and is set to tour with US star Nicki Minaj, said James was her favourite of this year's batch of contestants.

She told The Sun: "It's so rare that you come across somebody like that. He makes me cry every time he sings and his voice talks to me. It's believable."

Misha said she was still in touch with former contestants Amelia Lily and Little Mix, but admitted she struggles to watch the show with her hectic schedule.

"I haven't managed to watch a lot because I've been busy. But I see the rolling commentary on Twitter. These days you don't even need to watch the actual show to follow it.

"It's weird that it's been a year and now I've put out a single and am about to go on tour with Nicki Minaj."
