James Argent puts on a swimming cap and goggles as he enjoys a dip in the sea in Marbella
JAMES Argent enjoyed a dip in the Mediterranean Sea earlier this week during his travels to Marbella.
The former Towie star, 32, who recently shed a whopping five stone during his stint in rehab, put his swimming skills to the test in a gold swimming cap and snazzy goggles.
The Essex lad recently flew over to the Spanish city on southern Spain's Costa del Sol after a 10-day retreat at Juicy Oasis in Portugal - where he managed to lose a stone in weight.
He is now currently living his best life in Marbella and has been performing in pal Elliott Wright's bar over the summer.
Arg has been keeping up with his healthy lifestyle and took a dip in the the warm sea to practise a bit of breast stroke.
The star put on his best James Bond impression as he got out of the water in his navy blue trunks and pushed his hair off of his face while wearing a gold necklace around his neck.
Arg has always been very open about his weight battles, and how it has fluctuated with stays in rehab and a suspension from The Only Way is Essex in 2015.
James returned to the UK earlier this year after spending months in a rehab in Thailand.
Speaking about his health in 2019, he told The Sun: "In regards to my body - I need to work on that. I need to get back in the gym and boxing again.
"I'm desperate to get back on track. I need to work on my fitness, that is my number one New Year's Resolution - but I find it so difficult.
"I struggle to get into a routine and structure with my job - I'm here, there and everywhere."
Arg recently split with on/off girlfriend Gemma Collins after he told her he wanted an open relationship and cruelly branded her a "hippo" in a text.
Speaking to The Sun Online, a source explained: "Arg went to Spain and he told Gemma that he wants to go back there forever and be in an open relationship like Jada and Will.

"Gemma is completely shocked and has been left absolutely heartbroken, especially after sticking by him for so long.”
Gemma had stuck by Arg throughout his drugs and alcohol battle and was eager for them to start a family together before their split.
The GC hasn't let her heart break get in the way of living life as she recently enjoyed a holiday to the stunning Greek island of Mykonos with best pal Charlie.
In an apparent reference to their split, she wrote on her Instagram page: "Today is SO LIBERATING for Me. This was all a process that started with one thing learning to SELF LOVE."
