Ripped James Argent showcases the results of his 14st weight loss as he flexes ... trends now

A ripped James Argent showcased the results of his 14st weight loss in Slough on Thursday when he flexed his biceps while playing Padel with John Terry.

The event singer, 36, stripped down to his white vest and wore black Nike shorts and a funky pair of trainers to play the increasingly popular racket sport, which is likened to a cross between tennis and squash and is played in doubles. 

Under his coach's watchful eye, Arg, who soared to fame on TOWIE in 2010, showed impressive form and swung a powerful forearm towards John, 43, in Slough.

The former England and Chelsea captain looked fit in a black T-shirt and shorts and white Nike socks and white trainers.

Arg has worked hard to keep off the 14st he lost with gastric band surgery in 2021 after tipping the scales at 27st at his heaviest.

A shirtless Arg again displayed his trim figure when he stripped off for an ice bath during his trip to Dubai to see fellow TOWIE alum Joey Essex.

He took to his Instagram Stories to display his toned physique in skimpy swimming trunks before plunging beneath the freezing water. 

It comes after Arg revealed he is now trying to gain weight to MailOnline's podcast Straight To The Comments!

Arg explained: 'I think you've got to be quite careful, if it's about someone looking healthy. I used to say to myself: "The more weight you lose the better", so, "The skinnier you are, the better", but that isn't actually the case because there are times when you're too skinny.'

He added: 'And even now I'm trying to up my protein a little bit and trying to gain a little bit more.'

In January, Arg shared with Lorraine the secret of maintaining weight loss as he celebrated two years of sobriety.

Host Lorraine Kelly said: 'Not only have you lost [the weight], you've done the brilliant thing, you've kept it off, because that's the hardest thing in the world.'
