GEMMA Collins has denied to Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid that she is in a relationship with James ‘Arg’ Argent on Good Morning Britain today.

The Towie icon was half an hour late to her interview after being stuck in traffic, meaning she was squeezed in to the end of the show to give an update on her love life.

But Piers appeared to have not even heard of Arg.

He demanded: “Who is Arg? Who is he?”

Gemma quickly explained: “He’s basically on Towie, you must have seen it Piers, he’s a dear friend.”

In full interview mode, he asked: “Are you gonna date him?” to which Gemma exclaimed: “No!”

Clearly never having watched Towie or paid any attention to GC’s life, Piers then asked: “Have you ever had a little frission?”

“Yes, it’s been on and off for six years,” Gemma told him, to which Piers admitted, “Oh I didn’t know that.”

As the credits began to roll, Gemma quickly told them exactly what was going on with her and Arg, who has been seen leaving her house – and managed to bring Ferne McCann into it.

She said: “The press keep writing that he’s in and out of my house every five minutes, but the truth is he pops to see Ferne as me and Ferne are neighbours.

“So he pops round Ferne’s and rings me up and says Gemma I’m popping round for a cup of tea.”

“A bit of how’s ya father?” pressed Piers, as Gemma laughed: “No he doesn’t!”

However just yesterday Arg looked like he’d had a sleepover at her house in Essex on Saturday – and looked sheepish as he left with his wash bag.

Looking knackered, Arg tried to avoid being seen as he left GC’s home and ran to his moped wearing blue tracksuit bottoms and a green jacket.

Holding what looked like a wash bag – surely Gemma can let him leave a toothbrush there? – he also carried his gloves and helmet.
