James 'Arg' Argent's incredible transformation since his drug-addled days on TOWIE seems complete. After shedding 13 stone and battling his demons with therapy and rehab, 36-year-old James has now found "the final piece of his jigsaw" in the former Miss World Sweden, a source tells new.
The clearly besotted couple, who met in Spain - where Nicoline Artursson lives and James regularly preforms with his wedding band were spotted sharing a passionate kiss at a fireworks event at Woolston Manor in Essex last week and, according to our source, things couldn't be going better.
"Historically, he's had an issue with commitment," they claimed.
"He had a real problem loving himself, outside and in. But now that he's worked on that relationship the one with himself - he's been able to have a really healthy relationship with someone else.
"His relationship with Nicoline really demonstrates how happy he is now. She's a brilliant girl, a homebody. She's so not Essex.
She's very, very grounded - and grounding for Arg. She doesn't court the spotlight and she's very intelligent a breath of fresh air.
"He introduced her to Mark [Wright] and she got the thumbs up from him. All his friends are delighted. Arg has good people around him now, and everyone in his life just wants to see him happy. He's been on such a journey with addiction, his weight and his mental health, those around him couldn't be happier."
