GIVING IT ARG

James ‘Arg’ Argent pats Gemma Collins on the bum during dinner with Kim Kardashian’s BFF Jonathan Cheban

JAMES 'Arg' Argent couldn't resist giving girlfriend Gemma Collins a cheeky pat on the bum as they enjoyed dinner with her pal Jonathan Cheban last night.

The lovebirds looked head over heels as they enjoyed a swanky evening on the town with Kim Kardashian's BFF, who Gemma struck up a friendship with in the CBB house, at China Tang restaurant inside London's The Dorchester Hotel.

As the couple stood and chatted to the plush eatery's front of house, Arg was spotted copping a feel of his girlfriend's rear as she leaned against the counter.

The pair then leaned in for a cute hug before heading over to their table.

The Towie favourites even coordinated their outfits for their night out, with Gemma sporting a black peplum top and jeans and Arg black trousers and a heavily-patterned shirt.

Pulling out the stops for their date night, Gemma, who was recently confirmed for the next series of Dancing On Ice, also sported curls and a glamorous make-up look.

The couple appeared even more loved-up when they left their meal as they held hands and made a high- spirited beeline for their car.

Their night out follows reports Dancing On Ice producers have booked a back-up replacement for Gemma due to fears she'll pull out of the show.

The Essex-born star, 37, famously quit I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2014 and regularly turns up late for TV shows.

ITV bosses have now hauled in a back-up celebrity in case she gets cold feet.
