TOWIE’s James Argent suspended from show

James Argent has been suspended from the show, The Only Way Is Essex.

It was confirmed this morning that the TOWIE star has been suspended from the ITVBe reality show.

The 26-year-old will not be appearing in the forthcoming episodes this week amid claims of excessive partying and subsequently failing to arrive for filming on time.

“James Argent is currently suspended from filming and won’t appear in this week’s episodes,” said an ITV spokesperson.

Argent, known as Arg in the Brentwood-based series, caused concern for his safety among family, friends and fans when he was reported missing after failing to meet his agent at an airport on August 30.

He later apologised to fans on Twitter, stating that he felt “embarrassed” by the whole ordeal.
