James Argent reveals he’s shed two stone in TWO WEEKS after juice cleanse

He stunned fans when he lost a whopping five stone earlier this year following his rehab stint for cocaine addiction and alcohol abuse.

And James Argent has shed a further two stone in just two weeks as he recently went on a juice diet after treating himself to takeaways in lockdown.

The former TOWIE star, 32, who was 18st 7lb at his heaviest, said he was encouraged to embark on a healthier lifestyle again after being left ‘shocked’ at pictures of himself on holiday in Spain last month.

Arg revealed he transformed his eating habits when he went on Jason Vale’s retreat in Portugal after randomly bumping into the health and fitness guru, 51. 

The TV star told The Sun on Sunday: ‘I met Jason on the off chance and he called my bluff when I said I’d book in. So the next day I bought my flights and flew to his resort in Portugal. All I drank for a fortnight was juices. 

‘I feel incredible and I’m determined to lose even more weight. I saw pictures of myself on the beach when lockdown ended and I came to Spain. I was shocked by how I looked. Now I just never want to go back to feeling that way.’ 

‘It was the best thing I’ve ever done. I’ve struggled with my weight for years but this has really changed my outlook. I’m free from drink and drugs still, which is a huge achievement. And making sure I lose weight and get healthier is an ongoing goal.’ 

The media personality had previously insisted the secret behind his epic five-stone weight loss was low-calorie curry.

Last year, James suffered two near-fatal overdoses at his home, with his then-girlfriend Gemma Collins calling emergency services after his family feared he was dead. 

The Essex native turned his life around and is continuing his recovery after he flew to Thailand earlier this year to go to rehab for his drug and drink addiction. 

Things for James haven’t been as promising in the romance department as he broke up with his partner Gemma, 39, last month after she revealed a string of abusive messages, purportedly sent to her by him prior to their split.

It’s understood the Jump star had made derogatory remarks abut her weight after she suggested that he had bought another woman dinner.  

The self-proclaimed diva decided to take some time off social media, citing that she was ‘devastated’ and ‘heartbroken’ by the exchange.

However after returning to the UK from her own Tenerife getaway, Gemma apologised to her former beau for releasing the messages.

The GC has since reportedly found love with millionaire businessman Nadir Gul and is ‘happy and smiling again’ thanks to his support, it was claimed by The Sun on Saturday.

A source claimed that the clothing store owner is keen to settle down with the ‘right man’ despite loving her independent lifestyle, and it was claimed she thought ‘it was fate’ that she was brought together with Nadir. 

The blonde and her rumoured new boyfriend have allegedly known each other for years during their time in Essex, and the GC has often found herself eating at his restaurants. 

MailOnline contacted Gemma’s representatives for comment at the time of publication.
