The TOWIE star decided to seek help and treatment for his "partying ways" late last year following his split from former lover Lydia Bright and suspension from the reality show, and he now says he's feeling great.

Chatting on ITV's This Morning, he explained: "It's good to be here. I've worked hard since coming home at the end of December and the start of January I've been early night sleeps, training hard every day and eating healthy. I love my boxing - my whole lifestyle has completely changed...

"I've had to change partly some of the people I was knocking about with. I'm not going out too much, but I still need to socialise with my friends - but I've not been nightclubbing as much as I used to. I'm in a much happier place. I'm back on TOWIE... I love filming, I've got my spark back. I've been very fortunate... It's good to be back."

Arg spent 28 days in treatment, spending Christmas and his birthday at the facility and admitting he was dodging the idea of going to rehab until he hit "rock bottom".

"It was pretty serious stuff. But it was the best decision I've ever made...

"I had a lot of support from my friends and family and the show itself. However, it was my own decision to get the treatment and help... my friends and family were hinting that I needed to go. But I was like, 'No, I'll be fine'... and it wasn't until I hit rock bottom that I realised, that I needed to do it."
