That was among the less insulting queries posed to the Teesside-born X Factor singer on a Twitter hashtag trending today

Pop star James Arthur has been trending on social networking site Twitter after fans were invited to ask him questions.
But the hashtag #askjamesarthur assumed a life of its own yesterday and today when hijacked by often insulting, largely bizarre and occasionally hilarious tweets.
It’s unclear how #askjamesarthur began, but fans wanting to learn much about the X Factor winner will have been left none the wiser.
Hundreds of the questions posed were unsuitable for us to publish. Others, however, were as random as it gets.
They included:
* How many whole uncooked chestnut mushrooms can you fit in your mouth while singing “Impossible”?
* Would you eat a spider? I would.
* Have you been missold PPI?
* If you were strong enough, would you throw a sheep into the sky to see if it would stick to a cloud?
* My pal Steve claims that penguins can fly but they’re just lazy. Is this true? I’m on my roof with 4 penguins, please reply.
* If you had to marry a mermaid, would you rather she had a fish top half of her body or bottom half?
* Are current Monster Munch of equivalent size to their 1980s incarnation, as they'd have us believe? I'm on the fence.
But some fans rallied round, with one saying: “Didn’t realise the world was so full hate. It’s terrible.”
It’s the latest Twitter problem for James, who last year even came off it for a time after a string of controversial tweets and public spats with the likes of comedian Frankie Boyle.
And perhaps one tongue-in-cheek question yesterday summed it up more than most: "Have you ever had any bad experiences as a result of texting or using social media?"
James, who didn't answer any of the questions, is currently on a European tour.
