TOWIE's James Argent spotted kissing 'Italian girlfriend 16 years younger than him'

The Only Way Is Essex star James Argent has been pictured kissing his new girlfriend, reported to be an 18-year-old Italian actress.

Arg, 34, and Stella Turian were spotted smooching while in Marbella, on the Costa del Sol.

The pair appeared very affectionate towards one another as they walked down the street, with Arg putting his arm on Stella's back as they smiled at each other.

In pictures obtained by The Sun, the pair wrap their arms around each other while kissing, with Arg wearing a green T-shirt and white running shorts.

Stella is dressed in a black bandeau crop top and high-waisted white shorts.

Arg recently revealed he had a new lady in his life- but kept his lips sealed on her identity.

Appearing on GB News recently, the former TOWIE favourite opened up about his love life saying he had met someone 'lovely' who lives on a Greek island and he's definitely ready for a relationship – after proving unlucky in love in the past.

Speaking in July, he said: “I feel more confident and I feel like I'm ready to potentially meet someone, like there was someone I've met recently who's lovely, but she lives abroad."

Undeterred by the geographical challenge of a long distance relationship, he admitted the pair were staying in touch and planned to meet up late summer.

He explained: "We are in contact and stuff but I'm literally like from now till the very end of August, I don't really have a day off to be honest with you.

“So we're gonna carry on talking and hopefully we might see each other, we'll plan something maybe at the end of the summer, maybe September time, something like that."

It's been reported that a film in which Stella appears was recently shown at the Venice Film Festival.

Arg has shed a staggering 14 stone, after his weight spiralled during lockdown. He had a gastric sleeve procedure before adding exercise and healthy eating to his daily routine.

It is thought James was in Marbella for the summer as he sings at clubs, such as his close pal Elliot Wright's Olivias La Cala.

Earlier this year, he was spotted serenading footballer Harry Maguire's wife Fern as she partied in Spain with pals for her hen do.

Recently, Arg took a break from performing to attend TOWIE co-star Danielle Armstrong's wedding, where he wore a stylish maroon suit.

The singer posted a number of glamorous snaps from the celebration, as he posed up a storm with his pals Ferne McCann, Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet.

James has spoken candidly about his weight battle, having reached 27 stone at his heaviest, and recently said he doesn't want to get "too complacent".

Appearing on Lorraine, he said: "At the moment I'm going to sleep excited for the next day and I'm waking up positive and full of energy, and just life's really good at the moment."

The Mirror has contacted a representative for Arg asking for comment.
