Former TOWIE star James Argent is said to be in advanced talks for next year’s Dancing On Ice, despite seeing how tough it is from his on-off girlfriend Gemma Collins.
Arg will reportedly have to take drug tests if he does join the line-up in order to prove he is clean after he opened up about his cocaine addiction earlier this year.
A source said: “His issues with drug use in the past have been well documented and there has been talk of him having to have drug tests if he signs up to the show to prove he is clean.

“He has told close friends about Dancing On Ice and said he’d love to get out and try it.
“Arg knows it’s not an easy show to take part in but he’s more than willing to give it a go.”
Arg’s girlfriend Gemma took part in the series already and had a tough time, clashing with the judging panel and falling flat on her face.

However it appears that hasn’t put the Essex lad off the gruelling reality competition.
It would certainly be something positive for Arg to focus on, after he came clean about his issues with drug addiction.
Perhaps it is Gemma’s tough lough and strength that persuaded him to consider Dancing On Ice.

Back in May, Arg said on This Morning: “I really feel for her because she’s had to go through so much.
“When I was deep in my addiction I would hate Gemma because I’d be like, ‘Why are you telling my family? Why are you telling bosses? You’re going to ruin my career.’
“But she refused to lie for me, she would never cover up, she’d never want to enable me to continue my addiction.
“At the time, I hated her. I wanted to be left alone to get on with it.”
He added: “She gave me some tough love and was hard on me thank God she was. If it wasn’t for her calling the ambulances to my house, God knows what could’ve happened.”
