James Arthur says One Direction fans haven't forgiven him for his old feud with Louis Tomlinson.

The 'Say You Won't Let Go' hitmaker might have made up with the 25-year-old heartthrob after they crossed wires in a Twitter and text message spat they had during which James branded Louis a "little b**ch" and described 1D as nothing more than a "marketing product", but the boy band's loyal followers won't let it go.

James said: They still hold a grudge even though we've made friends and stuff.

"They were like, 'We'll never forget what you did!'"

The 28-year-old hunk says they get on like a house on fire as they like the same stuff.

He added: "We're just a couple of chavs really. We're both common, we're both football fans, we love the same bands and he's a sound lad."

The pair will be partying together at the BRIT Awards on Wednesday (22.02.17), and James, who is nominated for British Single and Video of The Year - isn't hopeful that he will pick up a gong on the night.

He told the Metro newspaper: "I don't feel nervous because I'm just buzzing to be nominated. I probably won't win."

The 'Impossible' singer previously shared his boozy after party plans with Louis and he may even hit up Ed Sheeran.

He recently shared: "I think I might go pretty hard at the after-party to be honest.

"It will just be so cool to be there, it's a great thing considering the journey I have been on.

"I am going to be celebrating regardless, just to be nominated is worth a few rinks - It's a huge achievement.

"I'm not taking anyone with, I will just go with the team.

"I spoke to Ed and Louis about the after-party already.

"I will be hitting it up with one of them two, I haven't decided yet who. Louis said he's down yeah, I think Ed is sticking around too.

"A few people have mentioned meeting up so let's see what happens."
