Gemma, 33, confronted on/off ex Arg, 26, to tell him exactly how she feels about him.
As their friends looked on, Gemma admitted: “Deep in my heart, I do love you James.”
But the blonde was left devastated when Arg told her his feelings didn’t run as deep, saying: “I appreciate you saying that. It’s really nice. I care about you lots and love you as a friend.”
Throughout the episode, there was speculation that something had happened between Gemma and Arg at a party earlier in the week.
Perhaps feeling guilty, Arg admitted: “I think I’ve probably been a bit selfish.”
Despite trying her hardest, Gemma couldn’t hold back the tears as she admitted that she and Arg could never be together.
She said: “The point I’m trying to make is that we do have a great time together and I do have these feelings, but you’re too young and I’m too old.”
Arg brushed this off as the reason, saying: “It’s not about age.”
The couple have been on and off the last few series’ of the Essex reality show, with Gemma previously being engaged to Rami Hawash before calling it off at the beginning of the year.
