Gemma Collins reportedly ‘fears Arg will gorge on junk food while she’s away in LA’

She wants him to eat healthy while she's gone

Gemma Collins is believed to be worried about boyfriend James Argent’s eating habits while she’s in America.

The TOWIE diva, 38, is reportedly jetting off to LA next month in pursuit of a career in the music industry.

But she’s said to be concerned on-off boyfriend Arg will gorge on unhealthy snacks and junk food while she’s not around.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Gemma managed to lose an impressive two stone after taking part in Dancing On Ice and the brutal training regimen its celebrity contestants are expected to undertake.

Arg himself spoke recently about wanting to shed some weight, revealing in a conversation with The Sun he’d like to drop around seven stone.

A source claiming to be in the know told Closer magazine about Gemma’s fears.

They said: “Gemma’s worried Arg will be ordering takeaways every night when she’s not there to encourage him to eat more healthy meals, and he’ll be gorging on crisps and chocolate when he’s lonely in the flat.

“She’s urged him to use the time to get back into his fitness routine and return to a healthy eating plan so that they can talk about working on some joint projects in LA together.”

ED! has reached out to Gemma’s reps for comment.

The pair recently opened up about their love life and admitted it’s not what it used to be, blaming Arg’s weight gain and an ongoing injury Gemma sustained when she fell on Dancing On Ice.

Gemma said on their Celebrity Juice appearance last week: “I was in agony. It’s really affected our personal life. The knees are so bad I can’t sort of do anything on them any more.

“It’s really affected us in the bedroom.”

When another celeb on the show, Michelle Visage from RuPaul’s Drag Race, told Gemma to just let Arg do all the work, her boyfriend cut in: “Yeah, but my belly gets in the way!”

Earlier this week, Gemma and Arg appeared naked during an interview with radio station Heart and Gemma boasted about getting to “celebrate” Arg’s body every day.

Host Kelly Brook told Arg he should celebrate his body as they discussed his appearance on stage for The Real Full Monty, and Gemma revealed: “I get to celebrate this body on a daily basis so I was happy for everyone to have a little sneaky look for two minutes.”
