James Argent’s concerned friends ‘all an ambulance to his home’

James Argent was visited by paramedics this week after concerned friends called an ambulance for him. 

The alarm was reportedly raised when the TOWIE star, 34, was not answering his phone ‘after hitting a blip in his recovery’. 

A source told MailOnline that James – who has previously been hospitalised after two drug overdoses –  is ‘fine’ despite the scare, and did not require hospital treatment.

A source told The Sun: ‘James has been doing so well, but the drastic change to his lifestyle has had pressures of its own and can be tough.

‘Unfortunately it happened on a day when he was feeling low and an ambulance had to be called.

‘He is changing his number again and is now focusing on surrounding himself with the right people who support him in his new healthy lifestyle.’  

MailOnline has contacted James’ representatives for comment.  

James was last seen in public on Tuesday when he attended a boxing session with close friend and former TOWIE co-star Ferne McCann in Ilford.

In 2019 James was hospitalised twice over drug overdose fears. 

The scare was said to a ‘wake-up call’ to James who then ‘accepted he needs professional help’. 

Arg has battled drink and drug addiction since finding fame on TOWIE and in 2014 he was suspended from the show after he failed a routine drugs test. 

The TV star spent three months in a facility in Thailand over the festive season in 2016 in a bid to curb his addiction and revealed he checked himself in to a programme in order to get the ‘ongoing support’ he needed.

In August 2019, Arg returned to rehab following a split from Gemma Collins in a bid to tackle his demons.

He completed a third stint in treatment last year prior to undergoing gastric bypass surgery.
