The reality TV star is desperate to shed his excess weight and he has, therefore, reached out to the heavyweight boxer, who also ballooned in weight prior to his return to the ring.

A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "He has asked Tyson if he can help him shift the pounds because if he doesn't do something drastic, his health is at risk.

"He is great friends with Tyson, and he has agreed to help him out. Arg gets on much better when he is doing something he enjoys, like being in a boxing gym.

"Tyson has said he can give him tips and advice to train efficiently. He said diet and discipline was a key factor and that is where Arg really needs to sort himself out."

Meanwhile, Gemma Collins - James' on/off girlfriend - recently revealed she expects her partner to sign a pre-nuptial agreement.

The reality TV star confirmed that she and Arg have already discussed the idea of getting a pre-nup.

She said: "In the past, James and I did have conversations and I said to him both of us would sign a pre-nup.

"And if James didn't sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), I'd be like 'See you later, honey.'"
