He has now been discharged from hospital

James ‘Arg’ Argent has fractured his right shoulder after being involved in a second moped accident.

The 30-year-old star was rushed to the nearest A&E after coming off his Vespa motorcycle in the “bad weather”, and coming away with the nasty injury and a “gash” on his arm.

Revealing he had been discharged on Tuesday, Arg wrote alongside an Instagram picture of himself in a hospital gown on the ward: “Finally out of hospital.

“I’ve fractured my right shoulder & got a naughty gash on my arm plus a few bumps and bruises…

“I don’t think Vespas were made for this weather & conditions! #LearnTheHardWay #Becareful. (sic).”

It’s not the first time The Only Way is Essex star has suffered an accident on his moped.

Earlier this year, he had another brush of bad luck in terrible weather, but while his bike was destroyed, he escaped with no serious injuries.

At the time, he said: “My poor bike but at least I’m not seriously hurt!”

He wrote: “I’VE FINALLY PASSED MY CAR DRIVING THEORY TEST!!!

“After more then 13 years & 11 attempts, I’ve finally managed to do it! #Proud #Believe #Achieve.”
