Nude selfie of TOWIE's James Argent is leaked onto internet... 18 months after he sent it to then-girlfriend Gemma Collins.

                                                               
James Argent has joined the exclusive NAKED celebrity selfie club that includes N-Dubz’s Dappy and his former TOWIE co-star Kirk Norcross.
The 26-year-old has found himself at the centre of a social media storm after a completely nude selfie was leaked onto the internet – showing off more than just a little bit of the Essex boy’s bod.
A representative for Arg spoke exclusively to MailOnline: ‘Boys being boys, Arg sent the picture of himself to Gemma Collins over a year and a half ago. It was a personal picture to Gemma who was his girlfriend at the time.’

But the representative, Mark Wright’s friend Neil Dobias, vehemently denied it was Gemma who leaked the picture onto the internet.

He said: ‘It wasn’t Gemma. Someone got hold of her phone and got the picture. It was never released intentionally.
Despite the embarrassment, it seems Arg has taken the leaked picture on the chin. 
He said: ‘He’s taken it in good spirits. A lot of the cast has given him some banter.’

                        

                                                                                                                    And the 'banter' has been strong on Twitter, with one user declaring: 'I don't think I'm going to recover after seeing that naked photo of Arg.'Another said: 'Can't take Arg seriously now after his naked selfie.'
And it was only last week Gemma burst into tears as she admitted she was 'in love' with former flame, Arg, on hit reality TV show TOWIE.
Visibly overcome with emotion, she said: 'It's a laugh when we get together and I do things for you that I would never do for anyone else. Deep in my heart, I do love you James.'
Unfortunately for Gemma - who recently called off her engagement to fiance Rami Hawesh - it would seem the feeling wasn't mutual, with Arg admitting he had been 'selfish' because he merely saw the curvaceous blonde as a 'friend'.
He said: 'I appreciate you saying that. It's really nice. I care about you lots and I love you as a friend. I think I've probably been a bit selfish.'
Wiping away the tears, Gemma conceded that the couple weren't meant to be, in spite of their obvious chemistry.
Life for Arg hasn't always been easy – what with broken hearts, and an on-going battle with weight and self-esteem issues - there is a lot more to the 26-year-old than meets the eye and his new book, Living It Arg, lifts the lid into his real life.
From his disastrous on-going quest to find The One to all the secrets in Essex – the TOWIE cast better beware of James’ tell-all book.
