Celebs Go Dating fans cringe at James Argent’s awkward flirting before he SLOBBERS over his food
JAMES Argent left Celebs Go Dating fans "crying with laughter" at his cringe flirty techniques before he dribbled over his food during a VERY awkward night out.
The unlucky in love Towie star was harshly compared to an "uncle" by his former date and the candid comment prompted him to make a complete U-Turn in his technique.
On tonight's E4 show, he vowed to"flirt the s***" out of his potential girlfriend, taxidermist Chantelle.
Arg - who recently split with ex co-star Lydia Bright- pledged to abandon his "oi oi" flirting method for some skin-on-skin, after host Lady Nadia Essex urged him to make more physical contact.
Yet his concerted efforts left viewers in fits of giggles.
He firstly complemented the red-head, who had a nose piercing, by awkwardly saying: "I really like nose rings, they are quite sexy," before asking her to describe her bum.
After she confessed her derriere was her best asset Arg prompted squeals of laughter from those at home when he said: "I love a squidgy bum, the squidgier the better."
Continuing the booty chat the Essex cheeky chap added: "Celebrity crush wise, maybe Carol Vorderman.
"I like any famous celebrity with a good bum."
Despite boasting he had his flirting "down to an absolute tee" he came unstuck as he coughed over his curry, and was left hugely red-faced when slobber fell onto his plate.

He told a shocked Chantelle: "I'm really sorry, for some reason I dribbled quite badly onto my plate, and I don't know why.

Fans swiftly took to Twitter in hysterics, with Love Island's Kady McDermott writing: "Howling at @RealJamesArgent on @CelebsGoDating in tonight's ep😂😂😂."
