Lydia Bright and James ‘Arg’ Argent been dating on/off for the past seven years, but she has cast doubt on their future after he admitted lying about his whereabouts.
Arg – who spent last Christmas in rehab for excessive partying after being suspended from TOWIE for reportedly testing positive for cocaine – confessed on the show to breaking Lydia’s trust. He later admitted a “blip” in his recovery.
Last week, Lydia, 25, said on TOWIE: “I am finding it really hard having a boyfriend in recovery. I don’t know if I’m strong enough to deal with it.”
Lydia – who broke up with Arg in 2012 after finding out he’d cheated on her, but got back together with him last year – now tells Closer: “Arg and I have been through a really tough time. Everything’s been played out on screen so everyone has an opinion on it.
“We’re not seeing each other as much but we haven’t split. We’ve been in a relationship for a long time, but there are trust issues.”
