James Argent 'loses five stone as he prepares to marry Gemma Collins' following rehab

James "Arg" Argent has reportedly lost five stone in preparation to marry his on-off girlfriend Gemma Collins.

The former TOWIE star, 32, is said to have lost an estimated five stone since last April, and it's all ahead of marrying the self-proclaimed Diva.

Gemma and Arg have postponed their wedding plans so the troubled star can focus on his health - according to Heat magazine - following his stint in rehab after a suspected "drug overdose".

A source told the news outlet: "Gemma wants them to start a family together ASAP. But she's also taking his health into account and knows Arg getting better is more important than anything."

The reality TV star went into rehab in the New Year to try and fix his alcohol and weight battle.

In October, fears were raised that the star had collapsed while alone in his home when he didn't answer his phone to Gemma, and she was forced to call 999.

Fast-forward a couple of months, and Arg is looking better than ever.

Alongside his snap posted last week, the star penned: "I'm making progress, Inside & Outside. One day at a time ❤"

He was also spotted rocking a meme jumper of his girlfriend while out running, using her as his biggest motivation.

In terms of the wedding, Gem has been teasing that the pair got engaged in recent months.

Gem set wedding bells ringing when she was spotted trying on dresses in a shop back in January.

She later shared a snap in February and told fans to "make the leap year count" which suggested Arg had finally proposed to the outspoken star.
