James Arthur was the winner of The X Factor in 2012 and debuted with the song "Impossible." It sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide, so it is safe to say that the new singer started with a bang. Not long after, James Arthur got involved in a controversy which eventually led to him leaving his production company Syco.

At this point, the singer didn't have much money, because he has been spending it carelessly. But an opportunity rose up to end his financial problems: lots of reality shows began to approach James Arthur, offering life-changing amounts of money. The highest offer came from Celebrity Big Brother. They promised £250,000 (~$346,000) for coming to the show. And though James Arthur really needed the money, he refused, because he feared that after this, nobody would take him or his music seriously.
