JAMES Argent has shown off his incredible weight loss after his gastric bypass surgery as she headed to Marbella for his singing job. .
The former The Only Way Is Essex star was snapped smiling from ear to ear as he revealed his noticeably slimmer waistline at the Spanish event.
James, 33, jetted off to Spain for the relaunch of Olivia’s La Cala, owned by good pal Elliott Wright – to perform in front of the first diners.
In the snaps, the reality star could be seen singing into a microphone as he smiled and took selfies with the adoring crowds watching him.
James showed off his trim figure in a pair of beige trousers and a blue shirt after his huge five-and-a-half stone weight loss after gastric bypass surgery.
He has set his sights on a 14 stone weight loss target – half his original body weight – as he returns to his singing career with new-found confidence.
James was also pictured cuddling up to good pal Elliott and his wife Sadie, who were finally able to open their venue four months after it burnt down.
Elliott, 41, told fans of how he had to rebuild the lavish Spanish restaurant after it was targeted by an arsonist weeks after his father dies of Covid-19.
In another heartbreaking turn of events, Elliott and Sadie tragically lost their baby after she suffered a miscarriage at five months.
The couple had announced earlier in the year they were expecting their second child together before the restaurant was burnt down.
James has since flown out to support his pal, who is the older brother of Heart Radio presenter and former reality star Mark Wright.
Last week, Arg filmed himself sitting down to eat at Olivia’s La Cala – which has a Turkish restaurant on the top floor.
He told fans: “Ladies and gentlemen I am back in Olivia’s La Cala. Got the funnyman Elliot Wright in his new Turkish restaurant Anka Kuşu.”
James has been keeping busy by performing at a variety of events, including the opening night of the Spanish venue.
Weeks ago, he surprised a husband and wife at their wedding, taking o the mic for a rendition of Motowns classic My Girl.
Arg has recently switched his weight loss ambition to losing HALF his body weight and wants to drop from 27 stone to 13 stone.
Pals say he’s staying focused on his weight loss crusade by binning all his XXL clothes so he doesn’t fall back into bad ways.
A source explained: “James has never felt better in his life and the weight has dropped off far more quickly than he ever expected. It’s made him realise he can lose even more weight so he plans to just go for it.
“The only downside is he is having to buy a whole new wardrobe. But he’s binning those items he no longer wears or which drown him so he’s not tempted to pile back on the pounds. James is making a change for life.”
We revealed last month the former TOWIE star ballooned to 27 stone and was “terrified” to leave the house because he was ashamed of how he looks.
But now following a gastric-op he has already lost more than SIX STONE and he has no intention of stopping there.
His next ambition is to swim the channel and he is even considering one day running a marathon.
