In the texts, the musician also called his partner a ‘fat f**k’, after she suggested that he had bought another woman dinner and not her.
The series of texts began with Gemma saying: ‘What man pays for another woman!!!’, while Arg responded by saying: ‘Insensitive.’
Gemma later apologised for releasing explosive text messages he had sent her, while friends have urged James to ‘sort his life out’.
