Gemma Collins and James Argent have reportedly split up following an explosive row.
The Sun reports that the couple have unfollowed each other on social media after the former Dancing on Ice contestant branded Argent “an embarrassment to be around.”
“They had a big bust up and Gemma said James was an embarrassment to be around after he began putting on a lot of weight again,” a source told the publication.
“At the moment Gemma is determined to get on with her life and wants to be alone without any visits from James.
“She’s pretty cut up about it but friends are saying that they wouldn’t be surprised if they got back together, considering their history.”
Standard Online has contacted representatives for Collins and Argent for further comment.
The couple, who were first linked back in 2012, have a famously rocky relationship and briefly parted ways earlier this year after Argent posted a video of Collins snoring on Instagram – before reportedly sending her a series of ‘fat-shaming’ texts.
Collins is thought to have been left furious after her now-ex shared the unflattering post, allegedly prompting Argent to hit back with a string of text messages targeting her weight.

The Sun reported that he claimed his girlfriend had “more rolls than Greggs” and described her as a “fat horrible lump” and a “nasty mean woman.”
The couple patched things up quickly and were then spotted on a trip to Paris.
Appearing on The Jonathan Ross show shortly after, the GC claimed that her love life was “complicated” and that the couple’s “work life” often “gets in the way” of their romance.
“It’s complicated, yeah,” she told the host. “I’m sick of blokes, I’m sick of them. I’ve just had enough to be honest.
“I do love the person I am with very much but sometimes our work life gets in the way.”
Collins is currently “counting down the days” until her planned trip to Hollywood, where she will reunite with friend Jonathan Cheban.
