James Argent's ex girlfriend Lydia Bright visits his home five years after split

James Argent was paid a visit by his ex-girlfriend Lydia Bright, five years after their breakup.

In pictures exclusively obtained by The Mirror, Lydia, 30, can be seen leaving Arg's house in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, on Thursday afternoon.

The former childhood sweethearts broke up in 2016 and have both gone on to date other people, but they're both believed to be single at the moment.

Lydia lives a few streets away from Arg, 33, and her parents lives between the former couple's homes.

She had driven past her mum and dad's house, which is in the next street from Arg's home, and heading to her former flame's pad.

A neighbour said she had been spotted visiting Arg on several occasions.

"She usually goes to her mum's but this time she turned into Arg's street," a source told the Mirror.

She stayed at Arg's for less than 20 minutes before she was seen getting in her car.

Our source continued: "She wasn't in there long, she was only in there for about 15 to 20 minutes, and then she come reversing out.

"About another half an hour later he comes out, he ended up going for a haircut, he came out on his scooter."

Arg was later seen outside a cashpoint and walked up to the salon to get his hair done in Buckhurst Hill.

The Mirror has contacted reps for James Argent and Lydia Bright and is currently awaiting comment.

Lydia and Arg dated on and off for seven years before they split for good in 2016.

They later spent the night together in Marbella, and it emerged that Arg had slept with Gemma Collins on the same day.

Lydia went on to have baby, Loretta, now one, with her ex-boyfriend Lee Cronin, but they split up before becoming parents.

Arg was in an on and off relationship with Gemma for years before their explosive split last summer.

She published a string of abusive texts that she said he had sent her, which included him cruelly mocking her weight.

Lydia has previously opened up about remaining on good terms with Arg after their breakup.

When one of her Instagram followers asked if they still speak, Lydia shared a screenshot of Arg FaceTiming her mum Debbie Bright and little Loretta.

"Yes, we are very good friends," Lydia told her fans. "He has always remained best friends with my mum and younger brother Tommy."

Meanwhile, Arg told The Sun: "She's a real friend and she and her mum have been an incredible support to me.

"I'm very fond of Lydia. I'm lucky to have her in my life and for us to be such close friends."
