JAMES Argent looked slimmer than ever as he stepped out in Essex after being warned by doctors to put on weight.
The 34-year-old looked healthy and was snapped wearing a classic Fila tracksuit while running errands in his hometown.
Former Towie star Arg underwent life-saving gastric surgery last April after ballooning to 27 stone
Since his op in April 2021, James has managed to shed a whopping 13 stone.
And while many think he looks great, he recently revealed that he needs to put a bit of weight back on.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, James said: "This is the first time in my life that I like the way I look too – I don’t feel ugly anymore – I’m content and happy with my appearance.

"The only problem now is I’ve lost a little bit too much weight and I need to put on half a stone,” he laughed.
“Everyone thinks it’s hilarious, we didn’t think we’d ever be in this situation but it’s one thing or another with me – that’s just me!”
In fact Arg is so desperate to put on a bit of weight that he was snapped stocking up on protein shakes.
It comes after he was linked to The X Factor winner Louisa Johnson last month.
