The 'TOWIE' co-stars have had an on/off relationship but Arg left Gemma heartbroken when he told her that she could not compete with his former love Lydia Bright.

In footage from Gemma's new reality TV show 'Diva Espana', obtained by The Sun, Gemma sobs: "It's really hard - because things ain't great with James. And it's not because of me it's because of him. It's f***ing hard. I have to keep going but I don't want to.

"He said 'I'm gonna take a bit of time for myself. I'm sorry... I love you so much, I've gotta get myself sorted.' I'm really struggling now myself. I don't know if this is right.'

"He doesn't care that I'm his girlfriend... and the fact that someone says to me does it hurt that I'll never love you like I loved my ex-girlfriend.. like it took me to go out in a yacht to talk this through. I ain't f***ing about here... I'm not living another day in this circus - his circus."

James, 30, can then be seen asking Gemma, 37, to move out of their shared villa.

He tells her: "I'm gonna take a bit of time for myself. I'm sorry... I love you so much, I've gotta get myself sorted.

"I'm really struggling now myself. I don't know if this is right."

It has since been revealed that Arg has checked into rehab and Gemma has been supporting him.

She told MailOnline: "It was incredibly raw, yes, it's been an incredibly difficult summer. But, that said, you know, we're back now in Essex and Arg is receiving help and you know, as long as he's doing well, that's great for him and for us.

"I'm just supporting him on his journey and I'm feeling pleased that the viewers get to see what goes on behind the cameras and I think it's good for them to see that behind all the glamour there's real ups and downs, even in celebrities' lives."

Diva Espana will air on ITVBe on Wednesday (29.08.18) at 9pm.
