James ‘Arg’ Argent was given a huge surprise ahead of his singing gig this week after pop superstar Jessie J turned up!
Jessie, 31, stunned holidaymakers when she appeared at Olivia’s La Cala in Spain, where reality star Arg has a singing residency.
The star popped up on stage and took the mic to introduce Arg’s set – and he was overwhelmed after getting some “bad news” earlier in the week.
Arg, also 31, explained: “I got some bad news this week that really upset me, I can’t tell you how happy this made me and really cheered me up! What a special surprise, the wonderful @jessiej introducing me on stage for my gig in @olivias_la_cala.”
The TOWIE star then thanked the bar and restaurant’s owner, his close pal Elliott Wright, adding: “Thank you @elliottwright_ Absolutely amazing.”
In Arg’s Instagram clip, Essex girl Jessie began by telling the crowd: “I’m from Essex. This is so fun. Thank you for having us Elliott. I have a show here tomorrow and I brought out all my crew and my band. But I want to introduce someone right now who is just the sweetest guy. I just met him.”
Signalling to Arg, Jessie continued: “Come on, do a slow motion walk through…
“Being a performer is the most exciting and scary thing to do, so I want you guys to show your appreciation for the hard work, dedication and passion this man has. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce to you (begins singing) Arg!”
The pair then shared a hug on stage and a stunned Arg told Jessie: “Thank you so much.”
Hitmaker Jessie, who is dating Hollywood actor Channing Tatum, is the biggest star the club has had through its doors.
