Gemma Collins gave TOWIE fans a trip down memory lane after finding herself seated next to co-star and ex-boyfriend James ‘Arg’ Argent on a flight this week.
The bubbly blonde, 36, couldn’t resist taking a snap after boarding her plane to Dublin and realising those naughty TOWIE producers had seated her right next to Arg, 29.
Now, for many people sitting next to their ex in a confined environment is nothing short of a nightmare.
So it’s bound to be worse when you’ve a) publicly admitted having unprotected sex with them in a bid to get pregnant during a one night-stand b) been blocked by them on Instagram and c) they’ve publicly declared “hell no” to getting back together.
But Gem managed to see the funny side when she took a selfie of herself and Arg ahead of take off.
Covering her mouth as if to stop laughing, she captioned the snap: “Trust me to have to sit next to ARG. Dublin here we come. I can feel the magic!”
Taking a look at Arg’s less than impressed/bemused face, one follower quipped: “His face! Hilarious Gemma – remember it ain’t getting any of your candy!”
Others got all wistful and thought back to the heyday of Gemma and Arg’s romance, with one saying: “Man I wish they’d get back together.”
Another compared them to “Ross and Rachel” from Friends, while a third simply said: “I think you two are meant to be!”
One wrote: “Oh god, mile high club here you two come – brilliant.”
Another said: “Mile high club got its newest members.”
While a third joked: “Don’t be making babies in the mile high club!”
Others thought it was more likely the former lovers would end up in a screaming match, warning: “How did you end up next to him? Oh Lord don’t crash the plane while you fight!”
Meanwhile, followers urged Gemma to ask Arg in person if he’d unblocked her on social media yet, while one went a step further and suggested they get back together for entrepreneurial reasons.
“You and Arg make an awesome duo, you’d sell millions and be billionaires,” they wrote.
“Because you’re both very real and really likeable people.”
She shocked fans by later saying they hadn’t used protection during their romp as she was desperate to get pregnant – unbeknown to Arg.
Afterwards, she told Loose Women: ‘He didn’t know I wasn’t using protection at the time. He does now. I apologised afterwards.
“We met in Marbella and I said, ‘Arg, can we talk over paella for two?’
The way to chill him out is with food. He was really mad but we hugged it out and we’re OK now. It wasn’t the right thing to do, but I really wanted a baby…”
A source told The Sun that Gemma had her eye on Arg when they came face to face during filming for the current series, saying: “Gemma got all emotional after she saw Arg for the first time in ages.

“No one thinks she’ll ever get over him and the fact that he looks so good now is making it hard.
“Her mates think she wants Arg back for good.”
But Arg poured cold water over that when he screengrabbed the story, posted it to Instagram Stories, and responded by captioning the article: “HELL NO.”
What a charmer.
