James Argent parties at Megan McKenna and Oli Burke's wedding after ex breaks silence on assault
James was spotted smiling as he danced with Megan at her wedding to the former Celtic star.
James 'Arg' Argent was spotted dancing with Only Way Is Essex co-stars at Megan McKenna's wedding, just hours after his ex issued a heartbreaking statement. On Friday evening, Nicoline Artursson broke her silence for the first time since her ex James admitted to domestic violence.
Arg admitted his crime at a court in Spain where he received a six-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year restraining order. Argent pushed his former partner down a flight of stairs, causing the injuries.
On Saturday, Nicoline made a statement saying "fractures on my body have finally healed but I'm wounded inside", and just hours after that, James was at Megan's wedding, where she tied the knot with former Celtic star Oliver Burke, writes The Mirror.
On his Instagram page, Arg shared a clip of him dancing with Megan at her wedding. He wrote: "Congratulations to the beautiful Bride, My dear friend @meganmckenna who got married to the lovely @oliverjburke yesterday.
"I can't tell you how much it meant to me, That you wanted me there on your special Wedding day. We danced together just like old times in Nu Bar Loughton when we were kids.
He added: "We always supported each other in those TOWIE days & remained friends ever since. You've blossomed into an amazing woman. You're a fantastic mum & you're going to make a great wife! And you're a much better singer than me haha. Love ya."
In her heartbreaking statement, Nicoline explained more about that night. She wrote: "I was brutally thrown out of our new home in the middle of the night wearing only my pyjamas. I opened the door to let him in and only minutes after I found myself laying down on the stairs outside our house. My clothes and belongings were being thrown out from the balcony down on me. I was injured."
She also added: "A gentleman does not abuse you and end up in jail and call you the love of his life. A gentleman does not blame you for his actions. A gentleman will confide in his partner, family and close circle of friends, keeping them close and safe. A gentleman chooses you always and leaves the past in the past - including exes.
"Life is to be lived together and not to please people who want to take advantage of you. At the end of the day, fame can only do so much - it's all about being strong and growing together. Life is simply not a reality TV show, life is real. I have tried to understand why. I have cried so many tears thinking about the way he chose to hurt me. He said he loved me and I believed him and here we are."

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CONOR Phillips was a last-minute replacement for Kyle Ashman, who was sent packing before Love Island 2025 kicked off. Here we get to know the pro rugby-playing Irishman, who's ready for romance in the famous villa. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Conor Phillips is a new Love Island star 4 Conor plays for Munster's academy and has represented Ireland at U20 level and in the international 7s Credit: Instagram 4 He's looking for his perfect match on Love Island 2025 Kyle Ashman, 23, was sent packing from Majorca days before the new series launched. This came after it emerged he'd been quizzed by cops over a machete attack at a wake in February 2025. Kyle broke his silence on his exit, saying: 'I fully co-operated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. 'I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.' Another Islander, Dejon Williams, was also questioned by police after being accused of stealing a woman's phone on a night out. He told The Sun: 'I was never arrested. I voluntarily spoke to the police to clarify the truth about what happened in this incident, with no further action taken. "To stress, my intentions here were entirely honourable and it is very upsetting to read claims that suggest otherwise.' ITV was aware of the incident with Dejon when he secured his place on the show, a spokesman confirmed. On June 4, 2025, Love Island revealed professional rugby player Conor Phillips would be taking his place — here's everything you need to know about him. Who is Conor Phillips? Conor is a contestant in the starting lineup for Love Island 2025. Brutal twist rocks villa as bombshell enters during first episode The 25-year-old rugby pro plays for Munster's academy and has represented Ireland at U20 level and in the international 7s. Conor's looking for "someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman". When it comes to turn offs, he added: "Being too needy, or needing to do everything together. "I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing." Speaking to press, Conor revealed the most unusual place he's had sex. He shared: "Probably behind a nightclub, I think, is the craziest, to be honest. Hopefully this is the right place, and it should be, you know, because you're in a lovely villa surrounded by beautiful people, so I'm hoping that this is the one Conor Phillips "I know it's nothing too crazy. I was young as well." He also opened up about how his mother feels about him joining Love Island. He said: "It's a weird one for parents. My mam will be quite reserved and low key. So, it's a bit out of her comfort zone. "But again, she knew that I'm an adult, so I'm going to make my own decision, and she's going to support me. Admitting he'd broken show rules before entering the famous villa, Conor revealed he'd sought advice from past winner Greg O'Shea. Islanders are forbidden from revealing their involvement in the series before it starts. 4 Conor has never really been in a long relationship and believes Love Island is the right place to find a partner Credit: Instagram Fellow Irish rugby player Greg, 30, won series five alongside Amber Gill. Conor shared: "I know Greg through rugby circles so I spoke to him about going on Love Island. "He just said 'be yourself, it's a really really really cool experience that not many people get. "So enjoy it and yeah take it day by day and if you can be yourself you can't really go too far wrong'. "So that's my plan. He was like 'my advice might be a bit different from others because I won'." He added: "I'm 25 and I've only had one relationship and it wasn't very long. "So I feel like I'm maybe doing something wrong or maybe I'm not in the right places. "So, hopefully this is the right place, and it should be, you know, because you're in a lovely villa surrounded by beautiful people, so I'm hoping that this is the one."
