James Argent showed off his dance moves as he took the stage to star in Christmas Panto Aladdin on Friday night.

The former TOWIE star, 34, seemed to be in jovial spirits when he played the Chief Constable in the opening night of the festive panto at Woodville in Gravesend, Kent.

He showed off his 14-stone weight loss in his blue cop costume, made up of red-cuffed shorts and a matching jacket, complete with gold fringed shoulder pads.

James also rocked a pair of striped navy socks and a pair of black Chelsea boots as he jumped around the stage and acted out comedic skits with his cast mates.

She wore her brown locks in a tousled slicked-back style and held a club in one hand.

The TV personality, also known as ‘Arg’, seemed to be having the time of her life as she showed off her dance moves for the entertainment scenes.

James showed off his weight loss after losing 14 stone in recent months after undergoing a gastric sleeve procedure when his weight reached 27 stone.

Aladdin opened with a special family-friendly show on Friday night and is scheduled to run throughout the festive season until New Year’s Day.

Wicked Productions has returned to The Woodville for the fourth year in a row with a pantomime version of Aladdin.

James’ appearance at the theater comes after James recently warmed to his new girlfriend Stella Turian, 18, and revealed the unique way he courted her.

James and Stella, who are 16 years apart in age, took their relationship to the next level in October when they flew out to spend time with Stella’s family in Italy.

And last week, James admitted that his first romance involved him courting her with mob movies in his home theater.

She also recalled how they “serenaded each other” when they met by chance at a restaurant in Greece in June, before entering into a romantic relationship.

speaking to SunArg called Stella “extremely smart, very talented and beautiful” while gushing about her partner.

He said: “I feel very lucky, sometimes I have to pinch myself to remind myself that all this is really happening.”

Arg also recounted how he courted his new girlfriend, revealing, “I’m lucky to have a home theater, there have to be some perks to being in show business, and I’m obsessed with mob movies, so I made that she saw Goodfellas.” and also some Soprano and Casino.

The reality star, whose past troubles are widely documented, insisted that he has been completely honest with Stella about the “ups and downs” he’s had.

Arg met Stella by chance at a fancy restaurant called Nammos, while in Mykonos, Greece in June for a friend’s wedding.

She said they “serenaded” each other as she recalled how he showed her clips of him singing Rat Pack songs, while she showed him clips of her singing Italian love songs.

Arg said that Stella gave his microphone skills her “seal of approval” after they exchanged numbers and sent each other videos of themselves singing.

Despite only meeting once in Mykonos, they then spent the summer texting and FaceTiming.

Arg recalled how he finally worked up the courage to fly to Italy in September to see her and see if there was a romance.

The TOWIE star confessed to being ‘incredibly nervous’ fearing that when they do see each other again, there won’t be a romantic connection.

But thankfully, the second their eyes met again, he gushed about how they felt “an amazing bond” that has continued to develop.

And after meeting each other’s families, Arg confirmed that they will spend Christmas together, but have no plans to live together. Instead, they will focus on making their long distance relationship work.
