James Blunt has spoken about his hit single 'You're Beautiful', saying the subject of the song "should have probably been arrested".

Speaking to Digital Spy about whether people's perceptions of him have changed, the singer said that he "would hope so".



"I think perception often gets confused," he went on. "Lots of people think that 'You're Beautiful' is a romantic song, but I see it as a song about a guy who was on drugs stalking someone else's girlfriend in a public space in London and should have probably been arrested."

Blunt also said that his dry-humoured replies to unfavourable Twitter users have reduced the amount of online abuse he receives.

"It's very quiet now on that front. I think that's like most things, when you shine the light on people who are abusive they normally go quiet," he explained.

The 40-year-old also recently defended his controversial Agony Uncle column, saying it was intended as a satirical piece.
