“There has been plenty of fury – several stars have been ranting about their time being wasted because Arg is always late,” said an insider.

“It got to a point where they were so annoyed, they could have all used it as an excuse to rock up to filming at whatever time they liked if something wasn’t done.”

It’s also claimed that the crew once turned up to Arg’s house and were delayed after he didn’t get out of bed on time and now, he could be facing financial punishment for his tardiness.

“One cast member told producers it was ‘outrageous’ Arg was allowed to get away with such behaviour and that it wouldn’t happen in any other job,” they told the Mirror.

“When they all heard he had managed to delay filming in his own home, the anger really started to simmer. He’ll have to face a fine now.”

Poor old Arg. Maybe Lydia needs to buy him a new alarm clock.
