TOWIE star James Argent has taken to social media to announce his comeback following his reported stint in rehab.
Arg, 32, revealed he will be performing throughout the summer at Olivia’s La Cala, a restaurant in Marbella owned by fellow Towie co-star and pal Elliot Wright.
The announcement is Gemma Collins’ on-off lover’s first post since checking himself into a Thailand retreat follow his two reported drug overdoes.
Taking to Instagram to share a poster of his forthcoming event, the reality tv star penned: “After many comments and dm’s I can finally reveal I’ll be back Olivia’s La Cala for my 2020 residency.
“Jessie J and Tyson Fury amongst others joined me last year.
“There will be more familiar faces joining me this year.”

The Instagram post comes after the star took a break from social media following his reported overdoses last year.
Arg’s last post was a tribute to his best friend and Elliot’s cousin Mark Wright, who he described as his “brother”.
The former Celebs Go Dating star sparked concern amongst his loved ones, including on-off girlfriend Gemma, after he was rushed to hospital for the second time in two months at the end of last year.
The Essex lad has now decided to seek professional help, it is claimed.

A source close to Arg told The Sun Online: “Arg has jetted off to Thailand to start the New Year at a specialist facility.
“He has realised he needs help with his recent addiction issues and with his weight loss battle, so has turned to professionals.”
“Arg is receiving some of the best care in the world and so is in an environment to finally improve his physical and mental state.”
It was reported that police broke into Arg’s house following concerns he suffered an overdose in October.

Reality star Gemma, 39, dialled 999 after he failed to return friends’ calls.
An ambulance was also called to the former Towie star’s £1.3 million home two months later in December after worried friends raised the alarm as he went missing for two days.
Arg previously checked into The Priory in 2014 after he was reportedly suspended from the ITVBe reality show after being found with traces of cocaine.
