Gemma Collins gets her own back on Arg after 'fat shaming' messages

Gemma Collins got her own back on boyfriend James Argent for his fat shaming messages by comparing him to Mrs Doubtfire.

Argent shared a picture of himself alongside one of the fictional nanny, who was played by the late Robbie Williams.

He captioned the post: “MRS DOUBTFIRE!!! What an absolute ringer! I thought it looked good in the mirror! #WhyAlwaysMe!?”

Collins, 38, was clearly amused and liked the post. She also commented a string of smiling emojis.

Fans were quick to offer him words of support, with one commenting: “Always remember it's what is inside that matters.”

Another wrote: “Don’t put yourself down.”

Others took the opportunity to call him out on his comments about Collins’ weight with one posting: “I can’t believe you have the cheek to chat about Gemmas weight!! Jesus.”

Another commented: “You said Gemma had more rolls then Greg’s... f***** hell Arg defo have a look in the mirror (sic).”

It comes days after Argent accused Collins of having “more rolls than Greggs” in a series of nasty messages sent to her after she chucked him out of their Essex flat.

The pair briefly split after Argent “humiliated” Collins by sharing a video of her snoring with his 763,000 Instagram followers.

He later apologised for his actions, saying they both got “personal” and that he never meant to offend her.

Piers Morgan gave him a grilling live on Good Morning Britain, and slammed him for commenting on Collins’ weight when he is “not exactly in a position to lecture anybody about their weight”.

Argent said: “It is pot kettle black. I struggle with my weight. I’m the biggest I’ve ever been. Gemma has lost weight and she looks the best she’s ever been.

“It was very childish and it wasn’t in my nature. We were both cussing each other.”
