The 34-year-old reality star - who previously dated fellow 'TOWIE' alums Gemma Collins and Lydia Bright - has been enjoying his wedding singer career in recent months, and revealed that while he was on the Greek island for a gig he met a mystery lady with whom he has exchanged numbers.

He said: "I did meet someone nice actually. I did meet a woman in Mykonos. It wasn't a holiday romance or anything like that but we exchanged numbers and I've been speaking to her. She's not English, she lives abroad. So who knows? It's exciting anyway!"

Arg - who lost 14 stone after he underwent a gastric sleeve procedure, after his weight reached 27 stone - admitted his only "regret" about going under the knife is that he didn't do it sooner.

He said: "Initially, when you get the operation done, it's a bit of a shock to the system. You go from binge-eating, over-eating to all of a sudden you're only on liquids and minimal amount of food and it's just kind of getting your mind right.

"But as the weight drops down, you start feeling healthier and I promise you now it's the best thing I've ever done. And if anyone says to me, 'Have you got any regrets?', the only regret is I didn't get it sooner.

"It has worked for me and it wasn't a quick fix. I struggled with my weight for many, many years with lots of diets and for me, it has just worked."

However, James added that while he has "not suffered too badly" with excess skin following the weight loss, he is still "conscious" about it and admitted he will address it eventually.

Speaking on 'Lorraine', he said: "I've been quite fortunate with my age and stuff so I haven't suffered too badly with excess skin but I'm not gonna lie, around the stomach area, there is a bit of excess skin and I'm conscious when I wear my swimming shorts around the swimming pool.

"You know like the old Simon Cowell style? That is something I'm gonna have to address but I'm quite lucky. There is excess skin but it's minimal."
