James Argent beams as he meets up with Megan McKenna for lunch after returning from Thailand

The reality star is leaning on his former cast mate for support as he vows to shape up

JAMES 'Arg' Argent enjoyed a lunch date with good pal Megan McKenna in Essex, marking his return from Thailand.

It's his first outing since he returned from the sun-drenched trip, where he went to mark one year since entering a rehab facility there.

The former Towie co-stars looked happy and relaxed as they hit the street in Essex, heading to Megan's restaurant McK Grill.

Arg looked casual in black trousers and a black zip-up cardigan, whilst Megan upped the glamour stakes with skinny black jeans, a fitted orange jumper, and a chic grey blazer.

Megan shared details of their dinner date on social media, cheering on Arg as she revealed he was surrounded by hot women.

The country singer said there were admirers “obsessing” over him on their evening out.

Filming Arg from their table, Megan said: “This is what happens when Arg comes to McK Grill.

“All the girls obsessing over him. They love him they do.”

Arg has been single since he split with Gemma Collins and failed to find romance on Celebs Go Dating.

Many fans hoped him and Gemma would end up together but for now it’s likely they’ll just remain close pals.

Earlier this month, Arg jetted out to Thailand and shared pictures with his Instagram followers of him in a swimming pool and practicing Muay Thai boxing.

Arg, 30, is one of a host of male celebs to have signed up to strip off for charity in  the upcoming ITV show The Real Full Monty and was in Thailand to try and shed some weight before filming starts.

He spent three months there last year in a rehab facility to "straighten himself out".

 Arg said "the weight is coming back off slowly but surely."

Relaxing in a swimming pool, he posted to Instagram: "1 year on... I'm back in my favourite place for a bit of me time before filming kicks off again in a few weeks!

"I'm so proud of how far I've come but never going to stop working & better myself.

"Hopefully I'll loose a few pounds before THE FULL MONTY starts."
