Towie Star Arg 'Suspended Over Party Lifestyle'
James Argent is reported to have been suspended from his role on The Only Way Is Essex.
The long-standing cast member - nicknamed "Arg" - is claimed by The Sun to have frustrated bosses by repeatedly turning up late to work.
The 26-year-old sparked a Twitter alert recently when he failed to turn up at the airport for a work trip, later claiming he'd gone to the wrong one and then fallen asleep in a hotel.
And he is now reported to have been suspended indefinitely from the ITV show - with the paper pinning the blame on his "party lifestyle".
A source said: "He's been living in the fast lane for the past four years and the airport incident was worrying.
"He needs to get back on track otherwise he'll be out of a job."
He has not commented directly on the report, but posted a snap of himself in the gym with what might be a reference to the story.
He wrote: "Great session today at Simsy's gym with @OharaDavies John Ryder and the lads #ActionsSpeakLouderThenWords"
