James Argent shows off incredible 9.5st weight loss as he parties with Elliot Wright

James Argent looked a shadow of his former self as he took to the dance floor at pal Elliot Wright's Spanish taverna and showed off his amazing 9.5 stone weight loss transformation.

The former TOWIE star, 33, underwent potentially life-saving gastric sleeve surgery after his weight spiralled in lockdown when his swimming schedule was disrupted and he turned to binge eating to cope with isolation.

But post-surgery and under a nutritional regime and exercise plan, Arg got back on track and looks incredible as he jetted of to Marbella for a catch up with his Essex pals at Olivia's Restaurant.

The TV star rocked up wearing a slinky pink shirt teamed with smart black trousers for his spotlight session and could be seen belting out a catalogue of tracks.

Arg, who has let his brunette hair grow long, clearly looked like he was enjoying himself and couldn't keep the smile off his face when snapped at the popular Spanish night spot.

He told his Instagram followers how he's loving hanging out with Elliott and his young family in Marbella and performing on stage.

He signed off the post ahead of a previous performance: "I’m having the most amazing time with the people I love & can’t wait to perform at another sold out."

It comes after a worrying few years for the TV personality who was warned 'lose weight or die' by doctors after tipping the scales at 27 stone.

Updating fans on his post-surgery progress, Arg penned on Instagram earlier this year: "Back on solid foods. I'm Delighted with the results, 5 1/2 Stone weight loss so far! Thanks to the team @wearetransform who have been guiding me on the how to integrate solids back into my diet.

"I'm aiming to stick to nutritionally packed foods as part of a well balanced diet to help me reach my weight loss goals."

Arg has often been spotted when swimming which he 'loves' and has been a catalyst for his weight loss with him even training for two charity swims.

He revealed hopes to 'lose at least a stone every month between now and 2022' and looks like he's in a great place to pursue his goals.

The reality star's next ambition is to swim the English channel to complete a marathon.
