However, James’ issues were said to have put a huge strain on their relationship before he sought help.
James spent three months in a facility in Thailand over the festive season in 2016 in a bid to curb his wild ways and has revealed that he has checked himself in to a programme in order to get the ‘ongoing support’ he needs.
Arg – who has also spent time in The Priory for alleged drink and drug issues – told the Mirror Online that he’s pleased to be getting help.
He said: ‘It’s not been an easy time but I’m happy to be back in a programme that gives me the ongoing support I need.
‘I’m thankful for the incredible support I have received from my family, close friends and colleagues.’
And he also said will be taking time out from filming ‘TOWIE’ in order to focus on his health.
A source told The Sun Online: ‘James has been attending regular therapy and secondary care at an outpatient treatment facility in London.’
Meanwhile, Gemma has finally landed her own TV show, set to premiere next week, centering around her life in Marbella.
