James Argent has revealed that he was “kidnapped” by pals who tricked him into rehab by using Toby Carvery.
The former TOWIE star, who has confessed he’s addicted to cocaine and suffered two-near fatal overdoes, has opened up on the two local friends he has who made a desperate attempt to get him help.
While in the car, James recalled how his pals told him they were going to the iconic restaurant famous for its Sunday roasts.
But instead, he was taken to the outskirts of Wales to a treatment facility to battle his addictions after his worried friends took him all the way.

He told The Sun: “I got a knock at the door and two well respected people came into my house and said ‘get yourself in the shower, we’re going out for some lunch’ and they weren’t taking no for an answer.
“They’re the type of people you don’t say no to or mess with.
“So I’ve got in the car and they said: ‘We’re going to take you to the Toby Carvery’ but I soon realised that’s not where we were going.”

He continued by saying his pals dropped him off in Wales but said he “wasn’t ready”.
James continued: “They drove me to the middle of nowhere near Wales.
“I was like: ‘What are we doing here’ then I started clocking and I knew they were taking me to a rehab.
“They dropped me off but I wasn’t ready.”
The 32-year-old confesses he only stayed at the centre for one night before he checked himself out and got a train back to Essex.
He added: “If you want to get better and clean you have to want it yourself.
“It’s all well and good grabbing someone and forcing them to go but unless they want it for themselves, it’s not going to work.”
