James Argent's former girlfriend Lydia Bright revealed her cruel nickname for him as the two came face to face this week.
Arg and Lydia had been one of TOWIE's golden couples during their seven year romance.
But the pair split for good in 2016, with Arg moving on with another co-star Gemma Collins.
And Lydia seized her recent catch-up with Arg as the perfect opportunity to tease her ex about his new partner.
Arg reveals whether Gemma Collins is to blame for weight gain and truth on split
Lydia, 29, and Arg, 31, bumped into each other at ITV studios ahead of separate appearances on Good Morning Britain.
Revealing exactly what happened during the meeting on her podast, Lydia admitted she'd been concerned it might have been awkward seeing him again.
But as she shared snippets from their chat it seemed the two exes got along famously - to start with.
After running into Lydia, Arg cried: "Hello, Oh it's lovely to see you!"
Lydia's dad, who was also there, chimed in: "James, I've missed you so much. Love ya. You still owe me a curry!"
Arg then responded: "I've missed you too Dave. Fred, you look smart mate. You're taller than me."
Lydia then interrupts to say that she thought Arg was going to interview them after his brief stint on the GMB showbiz.
"I thought, 'This is going to be so awkward,' confessed Lydia.
"No I'm not quite there yet," laughed Arg.
Arg then confessed he'd been 'too busy' to listen to the Bright family podcast.
To which Lydia hit back, 'Doing what? The Arg band? Being the GC's sidekick? Being her chaperone?"
Arg shot back: "Listen, you're on my show today. You are the guest. Slow yourself down."
Gemma Collins and James Argent confirm they're BACK TOGETHER with romantic kiss
Their reunion came just as Arg found himself single again after breaking up with girlfriend Gemma Collins.
It came after the GC called Arg an embarrassment over his recent weight gain.
But despite her cruel words, the turbulent pair reconciled for the second time this year and now appear back on track.
Though Arg admitted that when it comes to sorting his health woes he still has a long way to go.
During an appearance on Thursday's This Morning , Arg was told he needs to lose a whopping 10 stone.
Resident health expert Dr Ranj gave Arg some "tough love" and revealed he is "significantly obese" with a BMI of 44.
With Arg at risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, Dr Ranj said he needs to lose 10 stone and 17 inches off his weight.
The doctor suggested losing 2 pounds a week and cutting his daily calorie intake to 2,500 per day.
Reacting to the diagnosis, Arg said: "I’ve done it before so I can do it again. Before it’s all or nothing. I’m starving myself and its drastic and quick. It's not the way to go about it. What I’ve taken from the doctor is it's a long term goal.
"It's quite scary. 10 stone is a hell of a lot of weight and it’s a marathon. It seems like it’s not going to be a quick fix."
