'YOU GAVE ME RASHES AND I WAS ALLERGIC TO YOU!'

Towie’s James ‘Arg’ Argent posts worst tribute ever to ex-girlfriend Lydia Bright’s dead dog Paddy

The sentiment was there but the reality star’s message was ever so slightly off

TOWIE’S James ‘Arg’ Argent has paid tribute to his ex-girlfriend Lydia Bright’s dog in a bizarre message after he passed away.

The reality star posted a picture of himself with Lydia’s family pet Paddy and wrote a long message about him, recalling how his allergy to the pooch didn’t stem his affection for him.

James said: “RIP Paddy. We shared this sofa many, many times together.

“I was allergic to you, I couldn't breathe and you gave me terrible rashes but that didn't stop me cuddling you and playing because I loved you so much!

“Even to this day you would get so excited and jump up at me when you saw me – that made me so happy!

“You kept me up so many nights running around & head butting everything but I didn't care. Miss you so much along with all the Bright family.”

Arg has made no secret of the fact he’s allergic to cats in the past, however he’s only ever referenced a dislike for dogs.

When he was dating Gemma Collins in 2012, he brought her a pet Goldfish after upsetting her – admitting it was the only thing he’d like as a pet.

In scenes that aired on Towie, Arg told her: “I know obviously I’m allergic to cats and I don’t really like dogs, so I wanted to buy you a pet.

“I’ve got you some kissing fish and I know you love pink, so I thought I’d give you a pink fish tank.”

“I just want you to know that I’m so proud that you’re my girlfriend.”
