James Argent shows off his slimmed-down frame and his dance moves during a lively gig in Spain

He has lost 14 stone over the past year, after he underwent a gastric sleeve procedure when his weight reached 27 stone. 

And James Argent not only showed off his slimmed-down frame but his dance moves too on Thursday during a lively performance at Elliott Wright’s restaurant Olivias La Cala in Mijas, Spain. 

The former TOWIE star, 34, was in his element as he belted out songs and charmed the plethora of ladies in attendance amid the raucous gig. 

James looked happy and confident on his big night, cutting a stylish figure in a cream and blue shirt adorned with the Rolling Stones tongue and lips logo.

He teamed this with white trousers and navy loafers, with his outfit highlighting his incredible weight loss. 

The singer certainly knew how to put on a show as a plethora of ladies were seen smiling, cheering and dancing along as he belted out track after track. 

One woman seemed particularly impressed as she joined the TV star for a dance, with James seen twirling the woman around. 

He proved to be very popular during the show, with James seen posing for several photographs with his adoring fans.  

It comes after James declared he is ‘finally the man he always wanted to be’ – and revealed he has an ‘exciting’ new lady in his life during a recent television appearance.  

The reality TV star told of his newfound confidence since his incredible weight loss transformation and lifestyle overhaul.

Speaking on ITV’s Lorraine, Arg was glowing as he gushed to the presenter, 62, that he ‘feels like he’s winning’.

The former TOWIE star began: ‘I have come to a point where I finally feel confident. 

‘I am ready to meet someone and, as cliché as it is, you can’t love someone until you love yourself and now I can take care of myself I can take care of someone else.’ 

Arg divulged: ‘I did meet a woman in Mykonos, we’ve been messaging, she’s not English, she lives abroad but who knows, it’s exciting anyway.’

The TV personality has previously had high-profile relationships with his former co-stars Lydia Bright, 31, with whom he remains close friends, and Gemma Collins, 41. 

Adding of his weight loss, he candidly he admitted: ‘I am still conscious when I wear swimming shorts, I go Simon Cowell style with them right up around my belly button, but I am lucky that the excess skin is minimal.

‘I had to learn very hard and tough lessons, but I don’t feel resentful, I wake up in the morning and look forward to the day ahead.  

‘There is nothing better than being clean and sober, everything that I set out to do I am now achieving.’

Arg continued: ‘I always wanted to be a wedding singer and now I am finally becoming what I want to be, The Arg Band is going from strength to strength. It is a dream come true.’

Speaking to MailOnline, he previously said his career will now be focused on his true passion and gigging with his band in Marbella is where he feels happiest.

In an exclusive interview James, who last appeared on ITVBe show TOWIE in 2018, said: ‘As much as I love doing all the stuff on TV, I’m really passionate about and my bread and butter is my band and all my singing gigs.’
