James Argent moves on from Gemma Collins and 'hopes for Lydia Bright reunion'

After his very public relationship with reality star Gemma Collins, it appears as though TOWIE legend James Agent is set to reunite with his ex Lydia Bright.

According to recent reports, James, 33, and Lydia, 30, have frequently met up with each other on several occasions as the pair are trying to rekindle their romance.

Despite breaking up five years ago, TOWIE sources claim Arg is more eager for his relationship with Lydia to work than she currently is.

Talking to The Sun, a source explained: “The pair have started to meet up and Arg is very keen to start something up again.

“Lydia is a little more coy though.

“It’s something Arg wants to happen as she was the love of his life.”

While another source claimed that Lydia is more reserved than Arg due to being a mother, but believes Arg’s weight loss journey is good way to prove to her that he is a changed man.

After suffering with his weight gain and being warned by doctors that he was “so fat he could die”, reality star Arg underwent a gastric sleeve operation.

Speaking to The Sun last month, Arg explained that he is still very close with Lydia and she is currently helping him to shift the pounds.

Talking candidly Arg explained: “Me and Lydia are extremely close again — we have kept that low-key and behind closed doors.

“Obviously she’s had a beautiful baby and she’s a single mother now. We were together years before TOWIE existed or before either of us were in the public eye.”

Former couple Lydia and Arg first dated many years ago as teens and their eight year relationship was also documented on ITVBe’s The Only Way Is Essex.

According to reports at the time, Lydia split from Arg in May 2016 after she discovered him “out of it” at their home in Essex when she returned from an event.

Since then, Arg has had a ongoing tempestuous relationship with Gemma Collins that was often shown publicly.

The ex-couple displayed their ups and downs on TOWIE as well as Gemma’s reality spin off shows.

But business mogul Gemma has rekindled with any old flame too as she was pictured reuniting with her ex Rami Hawash.

Gemma and Rami were engaged in 2013 but split a year later. After getting back together briefly in 2017, the pair parted ways again.

Though rumours have circulated that The GC has got back with her ex, Gemma has claimed that their current relationship is “is nothing serious” and they are “not properly dating”.
