TOWIE's Lydia Bright's 'fears for heartbroken' James Argent following shock split from teen girlfriend

ok.co.uk:

It seemed like James Argent had finally found 'The One' after admitting he’d love to get hitched to his girlfriend Stella Turian last month.

But the star’s hopes of a happy ending were dashed after it was reported he’d broken up with the Italian law student last week.According to pals, “heartbroken” Arg struggled to make it work because of the long distance, adding there were “no hard feelings between the pair”.But a source says those closest to the TOWIE favourite – in particular, his ex-girlfriend Lydia Bright and her mum Debbie - fear his heartbreak could lead him back to his “old ways”. “Lydia and Debbie are obviously very concerned and rallying around him,” an insider tells . “He’s been back on track for a while now, but when something bad happens, he can go back to his old ways.

He’s been through so much, and they’re worried he might turn to old habits after doing so well.” The wedding singer, 35, has battled drink and drug addiction since finding fame on TOWIE in 2010, previously revealing that his loved ones worry “he will die”.

In 2020, their greatest fear almost became a reality after Arg suffered two drug overdoses while hooked on cocaine. His then on-off girlfriend Gemma Collins, 42, had to call for an ambulance on both occasions.
