James Argent cosies up to girlfriend Nicoline Artursson at Winter Wonderland as he bumps into ex Lydia Bright
JAMES Argent put on a loved-up display with girlfriend Nicoline Artursson as they posed at WInter Wonderland.
Former Towie star James, 36, confirmed his romance with model Nicoline, 31, in September.
And it looks like things are going well for the new couple as they cosied up at the Hyde Park attraction last night.
Former Miss Sweden Nicoline looked the part in a faux fur-trimmed coat and fluffy earmuffs.
Slimmed-down Arg beamed while posing for snaps with his girlfriend, showing off his novelty snowman scarf.
Also on in attendance was Arg’s ex Lydia Bright, who he split from in 2016 after an on/off seven year relationship.
Lydia was with daughter Loretta, four – but luckily it wouldn’t have been an awkward run-in as both Arg and Lydia have insisted they are still good friends.
She previously told her Instagram followers: “Yes we are still good friends and our families are very close. I will always care for Arg, we have so much history.”
Earlier this year Lydia went public with her new boyfriend, hunky landscape gardner Ben Davies.
It comes after The Sun revealed Arg made a shock return to Towie filming last week – six years after leaving the show.
A source said: “Arg is really excited to be back filming this cameo with cast and crew.
“It’s been a long time since he was last on Towie and he’s in such a great place personally.
“He felt like this was the perfect moment for him to pop back to see his Towie pals, old and new.”
James left the hit series in 2019 after testing positive for cocaine during a routine drug test.
A TV source said at the time: “It’s a shame but James’ problems flared up again, and he failed a routine test.
“As a result Lime Pictures aren’t working with him, and it has sparked more concerns among his friends who fear he isn’t looking after himself.”
Since then Arg has lost 13st, beat his drug demons and is raking in the cash performing with The Arg Band.
