Fat Britain! Is Gemma’s Arg eating himself to death?

TOWIE star James may have turned heads for all the wrong reasons during a recent public appearance…

- WORDS: SHELLEY SPADONI

Reality TV star James ‘Arg’ Argent looked worryingly overweight when he took part in a charity football match for Sellebrity Soccer at Wycombe Wanderers recently.

Enjoying a kickabout with former TOWIE co-star Dan Osborne before taking to the mic, Arg, in a black tracksuit and trainers, appeared dramatical­ly bigger than we’ve seen him of late.

Arg’s weight, much like that of his other half, Gemma Collins, has famously yo-yoed over the years, but judging by his appearance on the pitch, it looks like it’s got out of control.

Speaking about the pictures, Steven Miller, director of Fatnosis, a hypnosis weight-loss programme, believes the star could currently weigh 18st, potentiall­y with a 40in waist – and issued a stark warning.

‘I really am concerned about Arg,’ Steve told best. ‘Being so fat can often mean you are on death row. I want him to realise he might soon suffer a heart attack, stroke and even cancer due to his size.

‘Underneath that duvet of fat is a good-looking chap. I hope he starts to embrace my message, which is that he’s actually far too gorgeous to be fat. I am sure Gemma isn’t a feeder, and hope she makes it her mission to help him go from the fat-walk to the catwalk.’

In February, Arg vowed that, if he were to go on Dancing On Ice next year, as Gemma did this year, he’d like to shed a whopping 7st. The star, 31, also said at that time that he was about to start a diet, adding, ‘I’ll potentiall­y go to boot camp to kick-start it – then it’s something that I’m going to maintain throughout the year.’

However, losing weight doesn’t appear to be on Arg’s mind at present, with Gemma, 38, recently sharing a loved-up video of the pair relaxing on a yacht in Tenerife.

Those extra pounds could pose a serious threat to Arg’s health. As one reader commented online, ‘Sort it out, Arg!’ We sincerely hope Arg decides to hit the gym, ditch some of the meals out with Gemma and shed some serious pounds, before it’s too late.
