Towie’s James ‘Arg’ Argent and Gemma Collins have awkward reunion a year after secret sex behind Lydia Bright’s back – but it won’t be aired on TV
TOWIE stars James ‘Arg’ Argent and Gemma Collins have had an awkward meet-up in Marbella – after Arg refused to speak to his ex for a full year.
The Essex stars ran into each other in Spain and insiders tell The Sun Online that they had “a very awkward conversation” - but are now spending a LOT of time together.
“They haven’t spoken in so long, it was uncomfortable,” says the source.
“Gemma apologised for what happened. Arg is in a very positive mindset right now and just wants to focus on the future. He wasn’t keen to discuss what happened – as far as he’s concerned it’s all water under the bridge.”
Arg is in Spain for a gig a gig at Elliott Wright’s restaurant, while Gemma is filming the ITV2 show.
Insiders tell us that the conversation wasn’t caught on camera – because Arg won’t return to the ITV2 show until much later in the year.
The pair originally fell out when Gemma revealed on Towie that she’d had sex with Arg just hours before he slept with ex-girlfriend Lydia Bright - and days before they rekindled their on-off relationship.
Gemma told Towie co-stars that she and Arg had sex in Marbella just hours before he hopped into bed with his ex-girlfriend Lydia Bright.
Talking on the show, Lydia asked Georgia Kousoulou, Kate Wright and Liam Gatsby, “was I before or after?”
When they confirmed that Arg had slept with Gemma before her, she said: “Does that make it worse? It does, doesn’t it? The same day?! Are you joking?”
“I had a plate of paella with Gemma the next day, we shared Arg the night before and a paella the next day,” she added.
“I’m just in complete and utter emotional and physical shock.”
Gemma went on to admit that she hadn’t used contraception when sleeping with Arg as she wanted to have a baby with him.
“I’m at that age now,” she told Chloe Sims. “If I fall pregnant, I fall pregnant.”
Last week, Gemma revealed she hadn’t spoken to Arg in a year. “He had the arseache because I told Lydia that we slept together in Marbella. He’s not talking to me over it, which is a bit out of order.”
She went on to say that when she did see him, she’d offer him “a bit of bread and aioli” because “I know it’s his favourite”.
And clearly, it worked: The Sun Online hears the pair are spending a LOT of time together in Marbella and "are getting closer every day". Well, they've got a lot of catching up to do ...
