Towie’s Arg caught leaving Gemma Collins house clutching his dirty pants and slippers after spending the night together

JAMES Argent was spotted looking sheepish as he left Gemma Collins' house this morning clutching his underpants and slippers.

He spent the night with Gemma Collins after she was struck down with illness and forced to cancel another club appearance.

The Towie stars are getting close again after their one-night stand last year.

Gemma, 36, was forced to cancel a work event last night after she was struck down with a painful bout of cystitis.

The Sun Online can now exclusively reveal that Arg, 29, went over to Gemma's house for a sleepover to look after her while she wasn't feeling well.

He was later pictured emerging from Gemma's house the following morning.

Arg held onto his belongings as he made his way to his moped, only to find he had been given a parking ticket.

They have been growing close again in recent weeks since the blonde reality regular returned from Spain.

A source told us: "They've had it out and they have been getting close again.

"He missed her while she was away, he admits they have incredible chemistry and he can't stay away - he went over to her place last night."

It comes after Arg recently admitted that Gemma often texts him and asks him to come over for sleepovers so she can cook him dinner.

He had been resisting due to their history together, but last night he gave in and headed to her house to cheer her up.

Gemma has been plagued by problems this week and has scrapped a number of planned club appearances.

She had been due to do a turn at a nightclub in Manchester on Sunday, but she pulled out following a "family bereavement".

Gemma scrapped last night's appearance in Sheffield after she was struck down with cystitis, and tonight's appearance in Bournemouth has also been axed.

Her complicated relationship with Arg finally seems back on track after a rocky few months.

Gemma has long harboured feelings for her longtime pal, and they had a one-night stand during their Towie stint in Marbella last year.

She even declared that she had hoped to get pregnant with his baby and deliberately didn't use protection.

They have been trying to work out their friendship, but it's been tricky for the pair to move on.

Arg left Gemma devastated recently on Towie when they had a candid chat about the state of their relationship.

He made it clear they are just friends even though Gemma insisted: "There is something between us!

"We hug each other all the time!"

But Arg, who has undergone a major makeover this year, has kept both Gemma and fans guessing about how he feels.

He recently opened up the door to their romance again by refusing to rule out getting together with her in the future.

Arg said: "You'd never say never... stranger things have happened."
