Gemma Collins dumps James Argent after he refuses rehab as she fears drugs will end up killing him
REALITY TV star Gemma Collins has dumped James “Arg” Argent after he refused rehab — fearing drugs will end up killing him.
Gemma, 38, told ex-Towie castmate Arg, 31, their tumultuous relationship is over until he beats his addiction.
It comes after The Sun on Sunday revealed she rang 999 after he failed to return calls for more than 12 hours, sparking fears he had overdosed.
Cops eventually had to break into his £1.3million five-bed house in South Woodford, North East London.
A pal said: “Gemma genuinely thinks Arg will end up dead before long unless he gets clean.
“The people around him just keep covering for him, and if that keeps happening it’ll have a tragic ending. He’s on a one-way ticket to nowhere.
“She’s told him she will not be with him until he sorts himself out.
"He’s been to rehab in the past and she stood by him as she saw it as the right thing to do, but he’s not even doing that now. He’s a mess.”
Arg has had several stints in rehab — and was booted off Towie this year after failing a drug test. He was seen out yesterday, giving the thumbs-up.
An industry source said: “He has lots of free time, and a bad support network.
"Meanwhile, Gemma’s booked for things and doesn’t want to be associated with someone getting the police and ambulance called out.”
Last night Gemma said: “Out of respect to Arg and his family, we do not wish to comment.”
