The 27-year-old spent Christmas in rehab after losing his place on the Essex reality show last year.

But on a recent night out with best mate Mark Wright, 28, and his 27-year-old fiancée Michelle Keegan, Arg looked better than ever.

Posing next to the beautiful couple, a svelte Arg captioned the snap: “Looking forward to @sheeshchigwell later tonight with the gang! #CheatMealNight #DreamCake x [sic]”

Arg has been enjoying cheat days with Mark and Michelle, but is spending a lot of time in the gym

It seems like Arg has been spending a lot of time with Mark and his wife-to-be, as the week before he shared another picture of him tucking into some food and wrote: “Sunday dinner @sheeshchigwell was worth the wait all week! Great times with @MissJessWright_ @michkeegan @MarkWright_”

While the rest of the TOWIE gang jetted off to Tenerife this month to start filming for series 14, Arg’s future on the show still looks uncertain.

However his on/off girlfriend, and co-star, Lydia Bright, 25, confessed this week she hopes to see him return.

Elliott thinks Lydia is Arg's inspiration

While appearing on This Morning Lydia praised Arg, saying: “He’s doing really well at the moment… and we’re all praying that he comes back sometime during the series.”

Elliott Wright, 34, added: “He’s doing amazing. He’s in the gym every day, he’s working hard, [looking at Lydia] he’s got his inspiration…

“He’s lost a lot of weight… he’s done fantastic, I’m really proud of him. He was in a bad place and he’s come through it really strong.”

Apart from the darker hair and plumper lips, Lauren hasn't changed much. Her love for selfies has defintiely grown considerably, though.

What a difference four years makes! Businesswoman Amy has toned her whole look down and looks fabulous for it!

Mark's big sister's motto must have been 'less is more'. But these days she's sexy without flashing too much flesh.

Yummy mummy Billie rarely puts a foot wrong nowadays and we much prefer her as a blonde.

Ultra chic Lydia is arguably one of the trendiest TOWIE girls now, but it hasn't always been that way...

Just like Popey, Maria is almost unrecognisable! The red hair is much more flattering on her skin tone.
