James Argent brushes off Gemma Collins split as newly single star parties with ex Lydia Bright’s younger sister Romana in Marbella

The dust appeared to be well and truly settled on Thursday evening as James Argent moved on from his recent love split by partying with close friends in Marbella. 

The Only Way Is Essex star is a single man following the collapse of his relationship with Gemma Collins, and he was in high spirits during an appearance at popular local nightspot Olivia’s La Cala. 

With the venue owned by old friend and former co-star Elliott Wright, Argent, 32, was in good company as he let his hair down with Romana Bright – the younger sister of ex-girlfriend Lydia.

Sporting a plain white shirt with a seasonal revere collar, Argent beamed as he made his way inside the venue after pausing for a photo opportunity with Elliott and a troupe of flamboyantly dressed dancers. 

The TV personality added to his look with a pair of plain black trousers, while brown suede shoes rounded off his smart-casual look. 

Joining Argent for a night of revelry, Romana caught the eye in a thigh-skimming white evening dress teamed with strappy silver heels and statement earrings.

The appearance comes after Argent and recent ex Gemma ended their relationship in July after she revealed a string of abuse messages, purportedly sent to her by the TV personality prior to their split. 

It’s understood that Argent had made derogatory remarks abut her weight after she suggested that he had bought another woman dinner. 

The series of texts began with Gemma saying: ‘What man pays for another woman!!!’, while Arg responded by saying: ‘Insensitive.’

Clearly riled, the blonde said: ‘And the woman that saved your life has to pay for herself!!!’ Her next message was masked, but her now-ex responded: ‘You are supposed to be treating me you hippo.’

Moments later, Gemma uploaded another series of messages, where he sent her a plane emoji in reply to a picture of flight details.

‘I’ll take a mate, I’m not booking it. You said you would be a gentleman!’, she penned, before he shockingly said: ‘YOU FAT F**K. IVE JUST LOST ANOTHER 2000’ (sic). He didn’t refer to what he had lost 2000 of.
