James Argent and girlfriend Stella planning on moving in together after he introduces her to his parents
JAMES Argent’s new girlfriend has won the seal of approval from his parents - and the couple are planning on moving in together.
The Sun can exclusively reveal that Stella Turian flew into Essex over the weekend to meet Arg’s friends and family for the first time.
Sources say they were all “bowled over” by Stella, 19, who pals say may move to the UK in the coming months in order to live with James, 34.
One insider explained: “Stella arrived in Essex on Friday night, and has already met James' parents and his mates.
“They all think she’s great, and everyone is just so pleased to see James so happy; no one has seen him smile like this in years, and he’s in a really good place at the moment.
“Stella is enjoying her trip, especially because it means she gets to spend time with James. No one would be surprised if she’d moved over at some point in the not too distant future to be with him.

“Things have moved really quickly between them. At first James was worried about what people might think about the 15-year age gap.
"But no-one cares, and neither do James or Stella now. They're just looking forward to a future together.”
The Sun has contacted a representative for James for comment.
Stella’s trip comes a fortnight after James won the blessing of his girlfriend’s parents, who he met in Italy.
The reality star - who has revamped his life after losing weight - recently travelled to Italy to meet Stella’ family and friends.

Arg, who previously dated beloved TV personality Gemma Collins, won over Stella’s parents with his charm.

The pair met in Mykonos when James was attending a friend’s wedding earlier this year.
Little is known about Stella but a film in which she appears – Infiniti – was recently showcased at the Venice film festival.
Arg recently turned the page on a difficult chapter after his spiralling weight gain and cocaine addiction, going sober and shedding an incredible 14 stone before finding happiness with Stella.

He said: “I have come to a point where I finally feel confident.
“I am ready to meet someone and, as cliché as it is, you can’t love someone until you love yourself and now I can take care of myself I can take care of someone else.”
