It's five years since James Arthur won the X Factor title.
He returned to the show tonight to perform his new single Naked which was released yesterday.
James has been on tour in recent weeks, including a gig at Dublin's 3Arena this week.
He warned X Factor viewers that the tour had taken its toll.
Get ready for a raspy #xfactor performance as I’ve been doing a lot of singing on tour! 😜😇🤘🏻
