Celebs Go Dating’s Nadia Essex slams James Argent for ‘stringing Gemma Collins along for six years’
NADIA Essex has a lesson in tough love for Towie icon Gemma Collins.
She’s blasted Gemma’s long time on / off lover James ‘Arg’ Argent and said that he’s just been stringing Gemma along.
Gemma is currently appearing in Celebs Go Dating and Nadia has had her work cut out trying to get the Towie star to drop her GC persona while looking for love.
Gemma has confessed that she’s put up a “wall” around her soft side after being hurt by guys.
One of whom is very probably James ‘Arg’ Argent who has been romantically involved with Gemma for many years.
Speaking to star magazine, Nadia said: “We’ve had to work hard to make her realise that having a guy string you along and not make you feel good about yourself isn’t normal.
“She is always going to love James, but we’ve helped her to realise she’s not in love with James.
“She likes having someone around, but ultimately, he’s happy to sit there and eat.”
But, despite Nadia’s harsh words, Gemma has received special treatment during her time on Celebs Go Dating as she’s the first contestant in the show’s history to take two dates with her to the show’s finale.
An insider told The Sun Online: “While other celebs have settled for just one final date, GC has been allowed to take two men to Cape Verde.
“She can’t decide who ticks the most boxes for her so she’ll be putting them through their paces during their time away, in a bid to move on from Arg.”
The source continued: “Throughout filming the show there have been times when it’s clear that Gemma isn’t over Arg.
“The worry is that she’ll just end up pushing two very eligible bachelors away because she still holds a torch for him.”
