Gemma Collins puts on a brave face as she's seen out and about for first time since Arg 'split'

Gemma Collins put on a brave face as she brushed off her alleged split from James Argent with a girls night out.

The TOWIE star stepped out in leopard print to celebrate pal Dawn Ward’s daughter Darby’s birthday in Alderley Edge, Cheshire.

Collins, 38, was all smiles as she joined the Real Housewives of Cheshire cast hours after rumours surfaced claiming she had dumped her on-off lover Arg over an “unflattering” Instagram upload .

The former Dancing On Ice star put her worries to one side as she posed for photographers on making her way home.

It was reported that she had called time on her relationship with Arg he “humiliated” her by sharing a video of her sleeping on his Instagram stories.

Despite him deleting it an hour later, a fuming GC is said to have dumped him on the spot and kicked him – and his scooter – out of their Essex home.

On Tuesday morning, it was also claimed that Arg, 31, had sent a string of foul-mouthed texts to his now-ex girlfriend, branding her a “fat joke” and a “car crash”.

According to The Sun, the texts read: “You fat horrible lump. Nasty mean woman. Who the f*** do you think you are? You’ve got more rolls than Greggs.”

An insider also told the publication that Collins “felt Arg wouldn’t have posted the clip if he really loved her”, despite Arg being very vocal in the past about his adoration for her.

Collins has been enjoying a recent surge in fame after appearing on Dancing On Ice which saw her grab headlines with her ill-fated skates and on-air rows with Jason Gardiner.

The star was voted out earlier this month but accepted it was “her time to go” in an emotional goodbye to the ITV competition.
