It comes as rumours about a reunion between Lydia and her TOWIE ex-boyfriend James Argent continue to gain momentum, with a source telling Closer earlier this month, “Arg is finally the man [Lydia] always hoped he could be and she’s now starting to envisage a settled future with him.

Arg has never stopped loving Lydia and he’s told friends that he’s determined to keep the weight off and keep his life on the right path just for her. He’s hopeful he can finally have their dream life together like they planned when they fell in love as teenagers.”
