He wrote above the now deleted post: "This woman has been bullying me constantly about my weight & attacking me on social media.

"I'm not going to stoop to her level and cus her hairline/forehead! Just please #LeaveMeAlone."

James - known as Arg to Towie fans - has made no secret of his battle with his weight over the years.

In February, he told The Sun's Bizarre column he is "desperate" to lose the pounds after being inspired by his girlfriend, Gemma Collins.

In an exclusive interview he said: “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.

“I’m not going to put a goal or aim on it because I can’t put any pressure on myself.

"All I want to do is get back into my boxing, set my band up and secure a show on TV with myself and Gemma.”

In 2015 James admitted he felt “too fat to be loved” but now he wants to get back to his best ahead of his return to TV and the launch of a brand new reality series with Gemma.

As well as working on his fitness, James revealed on Monday he has been teetotal for eight months after ditching booze. 

Appearing on Good Morning Britain, he turned down the chance to try a Marks and Spencer Mojito in a can, saying: "Do you know what, I'm going to say no. I'm eight months clean and sober."
