James 'Arg' Argent
James 'Arg' Argent hopes he can win back Lydia Bright.
The 'TOWIE' favourite is excited his ex-girlfriend is returning to the ITV2 show and hopes she can forgive him for his recent admission that he cheated on her with their old co-star Amy Childs.
He said: "She was my first love. I lost my virginity to her and haven't met one girl who's matched her. I'm not gonna lie, her coming back has motivated me to get down the gym and look good.
"I'm more mature now and I've got a lot out of my system. When we were last together, it was amazing but I was too young. But I don't know if she'll ever forgive me for cheating."
Arg is excited to see what a summer of fun in Marbella, Spain, will mean for him and Lydia and thinks there is definitely scope for friendship, if nothing more.
The joker said: "I'd been avoiding her at all costs, but it was really nice to see her. We're both in Marbella in the summer, so maybe we'll have a face-to-face chat and the Lydia and Arg journey will continue."
The star has revealed he regrets breaking his friend and former fling Gemma Collins' heart, but there's nothing he can do about it.
He added to Now magazine: "It's never nice to see a girl cry and I do care about Gemma, but we're just suited as friends and unfortunately that's all I can offer. I can't force myself to love her as its just not there. I wish I did but I can't."
