James Argent says he is feeling healthier after dropping five stone after seeking rehab for his addiction to cocaine. The 32-year-old former The Only Way Is Essex star opened up about his struggles with drugs, food, and weight after revealing he has been addicted to cocaine for seven years.

Arg has opened up about entering a “never-ending tale of destruction” when he would spend hours high on drugs, not eating, only to then binge on fast food and takeaways the next morning.

Having sought help, the reality star says a benefit of getting clean has been seeing a drop in his weight, and explains body confidence and positivity has become a part of his recovery.
