The reality favourite, 34, has turned his life around over the past year, losing an incredible 11 stone in weight

But Arg suffered a scare on Monday after hitting a blip in his recovery and desperately concerned pals called an ambulance when they couldn’t get hold of him. 

Thankfully medics were able to treat Arg but he’s been ordered to rest up and friends are now rallying round.

But a source told the Sun his mates are concerned: "James has done amazingly well in turning his life around. But he’s also been working really, really hard both in the gym and out of it lately.

"He’s hit a bit of a brick wall and crashed and burnt and hit a low. He now needs to take time to just get back to where he was. His mates have ordered him to rest up and be kinder to himself. He might also take a holiday to reset."

The call comes after the Sun revealed how James had been struggling to cope with the pressures his lifestyle changes brought on.

A source said: "James has been doing so well, but the drastic change to his lifestyle has had pressures of its own and can be tough.

"Unfortunately it happened on a day when he was feeling low and an ambulance had to be called.

"He is changing his number again and is now focusing on surrounding himself with the right people who support him in his new healthy lifestyle.” 

After being assessed by paramedics, Arg was able to remain at home and didn't need hospital treatment. 

The Sun has contacted a rep for Arg for comment.

Before seeking help for cocaine and alcohol abuse in 2020, Arg described himself as being on "death row".

Paramedics were pictured at his house twice in a matter of months in 2019 after he went missing for 48hours and 'overdosed'.
