Gemma Collins hints James Argent was 'narcissistic bully' who was 'using her' for fame

Gemma Collins has dropped a hint that James Argent was a "narcissistic bully" who "put her down" and was "using her" for fame.

The pair split last week after reportedly having a fiery busy-up, and they've unfollowed each on Instagram.

Both have stayed silent about their relationship status, but Gemma, 38, now appears to have dropped some clues about how she's feeling.

She liked a series of cryptic messages on Twitter just hours after the split news broke, and they talk about cutting out "negative people" who "sabotage our happiness".

Several of the messages looked like a thinly-veiled dig at her ex.

It read: "They now call them narcissistic. We called them bullies back in the day. Same people though keep away from them."

Another stated: "Keep away from people who put down others," and "Negative people will use you. Don't let them standard."

One more read: "There's a lot of dangerous opportunist out there don't give them the opportunity to sabotage your happiness."

They weren't all negative though as some of the tweets Gemma liked included messages about getting though tough times and coming out stronger.

One read: "Never let a hard time define you," and another added: "It's crazy how the universe places you in the right place at the right time to give you the lesson or reason."

News of the pair's split emerged on Friday with reports suggests they began bickering over Arg's recent weight gain and it led to a fiery showdown that ended in a split.

They even unfollowed each other on Instagram .

A source told The Sun : "They had a big bust up and Gemma said James was an embarrassment to be around after he began putting on a lot of weight again...

"Gemma is determined to get on with her life and wants to be alone..."

However, it comes just weeks after a previous split which lasted only a couple of days.

The pair ended their romance in late February after Arg body-shamed Gemma by saying she had "more rolls than Greggs".

He also posted a video of her snoring , which infuriated The GC, who later admitted she'd fallen out of love with her man.

During an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, the host asked her:" Are you in love with anyone at the moment?”

Gemma replied: "Sort of and not sort of… I’m going to get some lessons from Harry [Redknapp] and Sandra.

"[They] should set up a training school for young love.”

Jonathan later asked if she was “sort of single” at the moment, and Gemma said: "It’s complicated, yeah."

She added: "I’m sick of blokes. I’m sick of them. I’ve just had enough to be honest..."

Mirror Online has contacted a representative for Gemma for comment.
