JAMES Argent looked slimmer than ever after his eleven stone weight loss as he trained at a boxing gym with actor Charles Venn.
Arg, 34, had a major stomach op to limit his food consumption in April.
The ex Towie star showcased his incredible progress during an intense workout as he hit the gym with EastEnders actor Charles, 48, who played Ray Dixon in the BBC One soap.
After taking part in a tough strength and conditioning class at Box Up Gyms, Arg wrote over a photo of the pair Instagram: “Remind me never to take a shirtless pic with @charles_venn again”
He also shared a video of the busy gym packed with people getting in shape.
In another snap Arg posed next to a pal and showed off his healthy lunch of chicken, rice and salad.
Arg, who began piling on the pounds in lockdown after kicking his cocaine and booze addiction, says doctors told him he was “on death row” but it took his mum Patricia breaking down in tears in his bedroom for him to finally seek help.
“Bingeing made me tired and lethargic so I’d make plans every day to meet friends, do a job or achieve something,” he recently told The Celeb Report.
“But after I binged, I was so exhausted I’d end up just staying in bed and not leaving the house.
“Then one afternoon my mum found me in bed and started crying.
“She said, ‘I don’t recognise my son any more.’ That was a big wake-up call.
“Also, I reached the heaviest I’ve ever been in the height of the pandemic and doctors said I was dicing with death because I’ve got bad asthma and was morbidly obese, which was the worst possible combination if I was to catch Covid.
“I could have been a goner, so I just knew I had to do something.”
