James Argent has revealed his slim new look in a new photo on Instagram after changing his life this year. 

The former Towie star, 34, took on a new health and fitness regime after seeking help for addiction, and has vowed to live a clean and happy life going forward. 

Arg has lost over 9.5 stone in weight after reaching his heaviest – 27 stone – and being warned to ‘lose weight or die’ by doctors. 

He shared a new photo of himself at Sexy Fish restaurant (the one and the same as where Jess Glynne once got denied entry in a hoody), posing in a black polo shirt with a delicious dish on the table in front of him.

The outing comes days after Arg celebrated his birthday, telling his followers: ‘THE BIRTHDAY BOY. I can’t actually believe that I’m 34 today!

‘I want to thank everyone for there love & support. I continuously get stopped in the street with people saying “keep going Arg” & “You’ve got this”.

‘I’ve been through a hell of a lot but I’m so lucky to have so many people behind me & that believe in me.’

Arg took a moment to look back on his achievements, adding: ‘I’ve got lots to be proud of. My weight loss, My beloved @theargband & the house that I always dreamed of buying but never thought I’d be able to get.’

His followers, who have witnessed the highs and lows the star has been through, took to his comments to congratulate him on turning his life around.
