Towie’s James ‘Arg’ Argent finally declares his love for Gemma Collins in emotional birthday speech where he reveals she is to thank for his newfound happiness
JAMES ‘Arg’ Argent has finally declared his love for Gemma Collins in a heartfelt speech that he proudly delivered in front of the entire Towie cast.
The reality star, 30, revealed he is the “happiest” he has ever been in an emotional tribute to Gemma where he admits that she is always there for him and doesn’t stop making him laugh.
He recites the kind words at his 30th birthday party where he thanks his fellow cast mates for their friendships – before singling out Gemma as the woman behind his positive new attitude.
He said: “I want to thank each and every single one of you for coming to my birthday party tonight, thank you so much.
“Do you know what, just being here and having you all here, honestly I'm the happiest I've ever been. I'm so lucky and I'm so grateful.
“I'm looking around the room and there are some friends here that I've known in recent times, some friends that I've known since I was a teenager and there are people that I've met along the way but I still appreciate and love each and every single one of you."
He continued: “There's one person in particular that deserves a special shout out.
"Her name is GC. Gemma you're so lovely to me, you're always there whenever I need you.
"You treat me with such respect, you're kind to me and you make me laugh so much.
"There isn't an instance where I'm not around you where I don't find you bloody hilarious.
"I know you always think 'Arg cares too much about what people think and he's hiding it' but I just want to let you know now that I don't care what anyone thinks."

His speech came after Gemma begged for them to share a hotel room together to give Arg “the night of his life on his 30th.”
She put in the request to show chiefs as they were paring to shoot the ITVBe series’ Christmas special, which also tied in with Arg’s milestone celebrations.
She wanted to give long-term love interest Arg a final chance to sample her “candy” before attempting to find a new romance on E4 show Celebs Go Dating.
But the pair are yet to confirm whether they went all the way during filming – with much of the cast speculating that they may have spent the night together.
