Back to the Boy is the singer's first book release and he will be meeting fans in WH Smith on Argyle Street on Saturday, October 12 from 11am.

The Middlesbrough born star, who won the X Factor in 2012, has strong links to the city thanks to his Glaswegian dad Neil. He also supports Rangers Football Club.

The book is a memoir and reveals details of Arthur's early life and his struggles with mental health.
