James “Arg” Argent is said to have suffered a “blip in his recovery”, resulting in his “terrified” friends calling an ambulance.
The 34-year-old star of The Only Way Is Essex has turned his life around in the past year.

But, earlier this week it is reported that Arg hit a “blip” in his recovery.
What happened to James ‘Arg’ Argent?
According to The Sun, worried pals called 999 and requested an ambulance be sent to James’ Essex home.
This was said to be as a result of the star’s friends not being able to get hold of him.

ED! has contacted a rep for James for comment on this story.
James hasn’t been active on social media since the report surfaced.
How did he lose the weight?
James shifted the weight with the help of a gastric band.
The surgery involved having 70% of his stomach removed so he can restrict the amount of food he eats.
As well as the surgery, he completely transformed his diet and started to become more active.
“I can digest most things but I have to eat food the size of a 20p, chew it for 20 seconds, wait for 20 seconds and do that again so I don’t get sick,” he explained.
