Mark Wright reunites with Towie stars and James Argent as star looks slimmer than ever at gig in Essex
MARK Wright reunited with his best pal James ‘Arg’ Argent as the star showed off his incredible weight loss.
The Heart radio star, 37, was all smiles as he joined his ex- Towie mates at celebrity hotspot Sheesh.
Arg, 36, looked dapper in a blue corduroy shirt, navy trousers and cream loafers.
The reality star has impressed fans with his slimmed down physique after losing an incredible losing 14 st two years ago.
The star took to the stage to perform alongside current Towie cast member Jordan Brook.
He also posed alongside Mark and wrote: “He’s come to support his best pal,” followed with a love heart.
Mark looked equally spruce in a grey sweatshirt and a pair of black jeans.
The lads also reunited with Dan Edgar, James ‘Diags’ Bennewith and Joey Essex.
The boys were seen partying the night away surrounded by several stunning women on the dancefloor.
Geordie Shore star Sophie Kasaei was also seen cutting some shapes as her man Jordan belted out a string of 80s ballads on the mic.
The Towie reunion comes after James said he wanted to eat more to gain weight after losing weight.
Reflecting on how far he’s come, he said last month: “I think you’ve got to be quite careful if it’s about someone looking healthy.
“I think – I used to say to myself, ‘the more weight you lose the better,” so the skinnier you are the better, but that isn’t actually the case because there are times when you’re too skinny.”
James added: “And even now I’m trying to up my protein a little bit and trying to gain a little bit more.”
His past battle with drink, drugs and a binge-eating disorder has been well documented over the years.
James needed life-saving gastric sleeve surgery after struggling to control his weight.
He confessed he became “isolated, very lonely and hit rock bottom” in 2019, and he was rushed to hospital twice while his weight became a problem as it escalated to 27st.
However, in April 2021, the reality star, who until recently was dating Stella Turian, had life-saving gastric sleeve surgery and lost 13st.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, James said: “This is the first time in my life that I like the way I look too – I don’t feel ugly anymore – I’m content and happy with my appearance.
“The only problem now is I’ve lost a little bit too much weight and I need to put on half a stone.”
Meanwhile, James recently revealed he’s “lonely and struggling” after splitting from girlfriend Stella Turian.
It was revealed late last year that Arg and 19-year-old actress Stella had gone their separate ways after a year together.
Stella is based in the Italian mountains, where she lives on a ski resort and it was reported that the long-distance relationship became too hard for them.
An insider said: “Throughout the summer it became increasingly difficult for them to meet up due to their work commitments.
“There are no hard feelings between them, they still follow each other on Instagram, and James is even invited to come out to ski with Stella and family early next year.
