Dermot O'Leary has joked that reality star James 'Arg' Argent is "punching" in his latest relationship.
The former TOWIE star appeared on This Morning where he was speaking to Dermot and Holly Willoughby.
When talking about his girlfriend, who is 17 years Arg's junior, Dermot pointed out that he is "punching".
James, who is 35, is currently in a relationship with 19-year-old Stella Turian.
After speaking about James working as a wedding singer with his band, Dermot, 50, and Holly, 42, changed the topic to his love life.
Holly said: "Your love life’s very fulfilled at the moment - you’ve got a new girlfriend."
James replied: "Yes, I’ve got a new girlfriend," as Dermot interjected and said: "You are punching!"
Laughing at his comment, James said: "She looks like a young Sophia Loren or Monica Bellucci."
Holly went on to call Stella "beautiful" and "gorgeous" as she asked if she lived in Italy.
"She does, she lives in northern Italy. Yeah, she’s very special, she’s a great woman," James replied.
As he shook his head, Dermot said "Well done" to Arg.
James joked: "God knows how I’ve done it. I think she thought I was an English Michael Buble, that’s what I tried to tell her anyway."
However, some didn't approve of Dermot's "punching" comment, as one tweeted: "Dermot couldn't give a flying s*** about Arg...bit rude if you ask me commenting on his gf that he's punching."
Earlier in the interview, James talked about his band The Arg Band, which specialises in event entertainment.
He has been open in the past about wanting to be a wedding singer, saying he has now "finally" got there.
James said: "I’m a full time wedding singer, so I’m finally doing what I’ve always wanted to do."
The couple met in Mykonos last year when Arg attended a friend’s wedding.
Arg tends to stay tight lipped about his girlfriend Stelle due to her not being in the public eye like he is.
It's not known how much time they spend together where she lives in Italy and he tends to spend most of his time in the UK.
