Arg was reported missing when he failed to meet his agent at Gatwick airport, when in fact the hapless star had turned up at Stansted airport.

“So I basically just chilled in the hotel with no battery. Then I woke up and asked the cleaner for a charger and she knocked on the door and said, "You're missing!"

“And I said, "What do you mean I'm missing?" and she said, "It's all other the news." So I went and put my phone on charge and went on Twitter and all I saw was "#PrayForArg."

Arg added: “I was thinking, why are they praying for me? And then I phoned my mum and that was it. It was a bit embarrassing.”

Despite the awkward embarrassment, Arg was appreciative of his fans’ concern.

“It was a bit embarrassing, but yeah, it's nice to know people care about me,” the 26-year-old sheepishly admitted.
