EXCLUSIVE: James Argent's girlfriend was left emotional in the street after her clash with the reality star, a passerby has exclusively revealed to the Mirror
James Argent's Swedish model girlfriend sobbed in the street after her altercation with the TOWIE star, telling a passerby: 'I can't believe what's happened...we planned to have a family." Nicoline Artursson was consoled by a witness who came to her aid just moments after the bust-up.
She told the passerby: 'I'm in total shock…my life with Arg was so happy before this." Former Miss Sweden Artursson was on a getaway with Argent, in Mijas, near Malaga, on May 5.

The passerby, who had been dining at a nearby restaurant, witnessed the commotion from across the road. The witness said: 'I saw him throwing all his clothes off the balcony... And a lot of screaming in the house, and then he ran out with a large bag.

Nicoline was crying a lot and very nervous and agitated on the street, trying to call the police, but they didn't speak English, so I went to help her translate. She said nothing like this had ever happened before.' The witness said the bust-up occurred around 11pm and both the police and Artursson's mother later arrived after Argent had left.
'When she spoke to the police, she said he had behaved badly with her and the police said you should come to the police station to report it. They said to go with them in the police car,' the person said. 'Her mother told her to grab some clothes and said 'we'll go'. I went home but I told them if they needed help, I'm here.'
The passerby said that no idea that the couple in question were famous. The witness added: 'I just saw a girl crying on the street trying to call the police, and I went out to help and translate. Then she stayed with the police, and I went home. She kept thanking me for being with her and helping her.'
Spanish police said Argent was later arrested for "an alleged crime of domestic violence". The reality star appeared before the Court of Violence against Women, in Fuengirola, and was later handed a suspended prison sentence for a gender violence offence and given a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years
He was banned from contacting Artursson, 32, during this period. Today, Artursson was seen for the first time with her mother in Spain texting on her phone. A second witness said Ms Artursson appeared "emotionally and physically devastated" after the bust-up. "We were out walking our dogs by the beach when we suddenly heard an aggressive man yelling," they said. "We saw him throwing objects from the terrace of a nearby house. We were frightened by his shouts.

"The man continued to throw things as she lay injured on the stairs. The situation escalated quickly, and we were scared and unsure of what to do. Another woman arrived to assist the injured woman, who was lying helplessly at the foot of the stairs. At that moment, the man slammed the door and fled. Within moments, concerned bystanders had gathered to help the woman, and the police arrived swiftly."
The reality star has since spoken after his arrest. "I am devastated by what's happened." He went on to tell the Daily Mail that he hadn't relapsed, explaining: "I am still three years and four months clean and sober."

Argent rose to fame as an original cast member on The Only Way Is Essex, appearing on the ITV series from 2010 until 2018. Over the years, the 37-year-old singer has taken part in a number of reality TV shows, including Celebrity Super Spa, The Jump, Sugar Free Farm and Celebs Go Dating.
TOWIE suspended Argent from filming in October 2014 when he failed a drug test. He later attended rehab before returning to the series. The reality TV star has regularly been an inpatient at centres due to his issues with drug addiction. Speaking in 2023, Argent said: 'I battled with [drug addiction] for a number of years. But I've got through it and I'm doing alright. I'm doing well. I'm clean, sober, and I have been for a long time now.'

Weeks before the domestic violence arrest, Arg gushed over their relationship while attending Jess Wright's Have A Heart Charity Ball on April 22. "My girlfriend is back in our beach house in Marbella but I'm representing us both tonight. Everything is good with us, it's going really good, I'm happy," he told the Mirror
When asked whether seeing pal Mark Wright welcome a baby with his wife Michelle Keegan, made him broody and want kids of his own, he laughed: 'No comment.'
He previously spoke about Artursson to OK! Magazine saying: 'I was walking to my gig at Elliott Wright's restaurant in Marbella. All of a sudden I see this woman coming towards me. I was like, 'Wow, she's beautiful.' She was just in her gym clothes, wearing no make-up. She'd actually just fed a stray cat."
He added: "To have her beside me is like a dream. She's absolutely beautiful. She's a combination of Julia Roberts and Claudia Schiffer. What I love about Nicoline is, even though she's very humble, she's very classy."

Johnny Vegas vows to 'kickstart debate' as he shares emotional insight to life

The comedy star of Benidorm and Still Open All Hours shows a whole new side as he tackles major art challenge while getting to grips with an ADHD diagnosis Johnny Vegas will be seen getting to grips with his recent ADHD diagnosis in a new Channel 4 two-parter in which he returns to his first love of art. The comedian, actor and trained potter has signed up to produce a piece of public art for his hometown of St Helens in Merseyside, and the cameras have followed him as he takes on the biggest artistic challenge of his career. ‌ A show source said: 'What starts as a creative endeavour turns into a journey of self-discovery when Johnny receives a diagnosis of ADHD. Though the original artistic vision falters, the documentary uncovers a silver lining—an honest and heartfelt conversation about mental health and understanding yourself.' ‌ Johnny, 54, told the Mirror: 'I used to sit at a potter's wheel on stage. People thought it was a gimmick, but I actually started out as a dedicated wannabe ceramicist. Art was my educational saviour. "Over years of witnessing what felt like an ongoing decline in educational commitment to the very same arts, I felt it was time I threw my hat back into the ring. To kickstart a debate about culture in general, whilst giving something of a visual symbol of gratitude back to my honestly beloved town.' He revealed that he'd been diagnosed with ADHD in 2023, saying at the time that it "answers a lot of questions about behavioural issues in the past'. He added: "In some respects, you can go back and look at it with regret, but I've had a bit of a charmed life, so it's no regrets," he said. "I know now, and it helps you make changes, I suppose, as you want to get more responsible later in life. I don't see it as defining me.' Programme-maker Adeel Amini, of Rumpus Media, said that fans would love seeing Johnny returning to his roots. 'Johnny tackles art and creativity with his trademark wit and humour, as well as a great deal of honesty and emotion, showing us a brand new side to one of Britain's best-loved figures.' C4 specialist factual boss Shaminder Nahal says: 'This series brings to life the power of art for everyone – how it can soothe, help, energise and inspire. Beautifully filmed over several years, the series showcases Johnny's unique humour, heart and passion – uncovering the intricacies and demands of artistic process along the way. It's an enlightening, eye-opening and emotional journey.' It is thought that as many as one in 20 UK adults could have the condition, but many cases are unidentified. Other celebrities who have been diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood include presenters Ant McPartlin and Richard Bacon, comedian Rory Bremner and TV presenter Sue Perkins.

Meanwhile, Ryan looked dapper in a fitted white T-shirt which he paired with beige trousers and matching trainers.

Coronation Street star Ryan is also a proud father to actress daughter Scarlett, 16, from a previous relationship with Tina O'Brien. The celebrations come after Lucy broke down in tears earlier this year as she took to TikTok to document 'one of the most emotional weeks of her life'. She was overcome with emotion as she Ryan and their kids packed up their 'memory filled' family home ahead of their move to a new property in Manchester. Lucy explained she'd bought the house as a single woman 11 years ago, but now the family needed more space. As photos were taken down from the walls of her daughter's bedroom and furniture packed away, the former TOWIE star sobbed saying she never expected the process to be such an emotional one. She said: 'One of the most emotional weeks of my life, I really didn't expect to get so emotional but I moved out of my home of 11-years this week. That's how we spent out half term, actually the kids had the best time'. The celebrations come after Lucy broke down in tears earlier this year as she took to TikTok to document 'one of the most emotional week of her life' 'We had mixed emotions because we outgrew this house so long ago, we've made the big move to Manchester and we're really happy. But there are so many memories I have hung onto in this house'. 'I went from being single, my first big renovation project, it was my first real home since moving out of my parents I guess. I brought my babies back from hospital here and honestly there's something about that, that I could never get rid of this house,'. Lucy continued: 'So we just made it work over the years, but it definitely wasn't big enough, we didn't have enough bedrooms, enough storage'. She went on to say that despite her tears the family had definitely made the right decision and it was 'time to go'. 'Seeing the rooms empty, is just the bit that made me cry,' she added.
