TV bosses are allegedly at the end of their tether, after Arg repeatedly showed up late for filming, and have warned him the suspension may become permanent if he doesn’t become more punctual.
A source close to the star said: ‘He’s been living in the fast lane for the past four years and the airport incident was worrying.’
‘He needs to get back on track otherwise he’ll be out of a job.’
26-year-old James raised concerns for his welfare in August when he failed to turn up to take a flight booked for him as part of his role on The Only Way Is Essex.
A Twitter trend began called ‘Pray for Arg,’ but the star was actually found safe and well - and had simply fallen asleep at a nearby hotel.
James called the incident ‘embarrassing,’ but it appears TV bosses think it was indicative of his out of control lifestyle.
Arg was apparently so inebriated on a flight to Ibiza in September that he ended up being sick, leaving the aircraft topless after throwing up on his clothes.
Better shape up Arg, you heard what Lydia’s mum Debbie said, she wants ‘a man, not a boy.’
