Arthur was born in Middlesbrough, England[3] to English mother Shirley Ashworth and Scottish father Neil Arthur.[4] James' father was a delivery driver, but also used to be a DJ and a drummer for many years.[5] Arthur's parents split up when he was just two years old and each settled with a new partner. Neil and Shirley were not on speaking terms with one another for more than twenty years. But they agreed to attend his audition together in a family reunion.[6]
Arthur first went to Ings Farm Primary School in Redcar, North Yorkshire. When he was nine, he moved with his mother Shirley and his stepfather Ronald Rafferty to Bahrain where he studied at the local British School of Bahrain for four years. When they split, Arthur, then 14, had to move back with his mother and his two half-sisters Jasmine and Neve to the UK to live in a modest house in Saltburn-by-the-Sea.[7][8][9] Upon his return, he continued his studies at Redcar's Rye Hills School.[10]
Arthur has five siblings, an older brother called Neil Arthur, an older sister called Sian Arthur, and three younger sisters, Charlotte Arthur and Jasmin and Neve Rafferty.[10]
