Drug shame Arg dumped by lover Lydia Bright after she ‘caught him relapsing into cocaine habit’

TOWIE lovers Lydia Bright and James Argent have split after she allegedly
caught her co-star doing cocaine.

Lydia, 26, booted James, known as Arg, out of their home after coming home
from a night out to find him “out of it”.

The childhood sweethearts, on-off lovers since Towie began in 2010, were about
 to get engaged and put a deposit down on a new house.

Arg, 28, was suspended from Towie in November 2014 after testing positive for
cocaine.

He checked into The Priory for a month-long stint of rehab and was let back on
the ITV show in 2015.

A source said: “Lydia and Arg have broken up and it’s for good this time.
It happened because he relapsed.

“Lydia came home early from an event in London and found Arg a bit out of it.
She’s absolutely devastated.

“She doesn’t want this, and drugs just aren’t her lifestyle. He went to rehab
and she stood by him, so this has come as a real shock to her.”

Lydia was said to be particularly enraged as her mum has worked as a foster
carer and they have both seen the damage drugs can do.

The source said: “Lydia hates them. She’s really disappointed in Arg.” His
agent did not comment.

Boutique owner Lydia has since been flirting with Aussie rugby player Billy
Meakes, 25, and wants a date.

The source added: “Lydia likes him and he is very different from Arg.”
