JAMES IS ACTING UP

JAMES Arthur is finally chasing his dream of acting – and is even taking lessons.

Speaking to me at Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball, he said: “When people ask me what other goals I’ve got and what are the ambitions I’ve got, it’s definitely acting.”

The former X Factor winner has been far too busy on his music to really get started on his acting career.

But he added: “I’ve taken a couple of acting lessons.

“I’ve had people reach out and ask me if I want to come to auditions.”

Looks like James could be appearing on a screen near you soon…

„ MARVIN Humesadmits he is putting off a JLS reunion to avoid competition with other pop acts. He said: “A lot of bands are reformed at the minute so now wouldn’t have been the right time. „“We’ll leave it to Spice Girls and Westlife.”
