Gemma Collins blasts ex James Argent after their bitter break up

Gemma Collins has blasted her ex boyfriend James Argent despite previously stating the pair had stayed friends after their break up.

It's been more than two years since the TOWIE stars parted ways for good after an on-off relationship with the early years played out on our screens in the ITV reality series.

The reality star, 41, had been looking to settle down with the Essex 'crooner' and even said she'd happily have his babies.

But it wasn't meant to be and amid Arg's apparent request to have an open relationship they parted ways.

After the dust settled the pair appeared on good terms as Gemma became settled with long-term partner and now fiancé Ravi Hawash, 48, while Arg focused on his health battles.

But Collins, 41, appears have opened old wounds when asked about her former flame's new relationship.

The blonde beauty told by Ok Magazine: 'I don't give a s*** about him' when probed over his new romance with 18-year-old actress Stella Turian.

Arg had previously teased he had found happiness when holidaying on the idyllic Greek island of Mykonos and flew to her native Italy to meet her family five months later.

The pair looked loved up and were captured kissing in Marbella where Arg had teamed up with his good pal Elliot Wright to perform at his Costa del Sol restaurant.

And as James celebrated his 35th birthday this week he looked in top shape as he partied with showbiz pals.

He told followers on Instagram : "I can’t actually believe that I’m 35! I’m so lucky to have so much Care & Support from my Friends, Family and Girlfriend. It’s nights like these that I realise how lucky I am, I’m truly grateful!

He added: "I’ve sustained a healthy weight this year which I’m proud of, I’ve always struggled in the past to find a happy medium with exercise & food but I’m doing well. I’m clean & sober which is the greatest gift of all!"

He has hinted that although his relationship is going well they are not moving in together as they are both busy with work.

Meanwhile Gemma is happy with her relationship with Ravi and has taken on a step-mum role to his three-year-old son Tristan.

Speaking of the bond she has with Rami's son, she said: "Do you know what? I’ve got the greatest gift of all my partner gave me. I have a beautiful three-year-old stepson and have a very good relationship with his mum and it’s been so lovely that they’ve let me be a part of their lives."

The TV personality and former I'm A Celebrity star has previously spoken about her desire to have children and even asked fertility advice of fellow TOWIE star Amy Childs but has since gone quiet on the matter.
