The on/off couple's rocky relationship took another turn recently when the 38-year-old reality star kicked him out of her house after he embarrassed her by posting a video of her snoring in bed and then allegedly sent her hurtful messages about her weight.
A source told The Sun Online: "James arrived at Gemma's door to apologise for his awful behaviour. He admitted that he was disgusted with himself and wants to change everything that has happened.
"She has told him it will take time to repair things."
It has been a very tough time for Gemma, whose mum Joan was hospitalised with pneumonia just days after the star split from her 31-year-old boyfriend.
Arg was pictured turning up to her home on Wednesday night (27.02.19), and it's said he "broke down in tears" as he made his apology.
An insider added: "James was very emotional and broke down in tears telling Gemma 'You have stood by me in my worst times and you didn't deserve any of this or what I said'.
"He said he is very sorry - and with her mum being so ill he feels even more terrible."
The 'TOWIE' stars' breakup is said to have come after Arg sent a string of nasty messages to the former 'Dancing On Ice' contestant.
The messages allegedly read: "You are a fat joke of a woman. An absolute car crash! You're nearly 40 f***ing years old, you embarrassment ... You fat horrible lump. Nasty mean woman. Who the f*** do you think you are? You've got more rolls than Greggs."
