Elliott Wright supports James Argent in speech after domestic violence charge
James Argent took to the stage to perform weeks after being arrested for domestic violence against his girlfriend, Nicoline Arturrson, at Elliott Wright's restaurant in Marbella
Mark Wright's cousin Elliott referred to the 'trials and tribulations' he went through with James 'Arg' Argent as the former TOWIE star took to the stage weeks after his domestic violence arrest.
'Never gonna make you cry… Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you,' crooned Argent as he shamelessly returned to the stage with a medley of gushing love songs after being arrested for domestic violence against his model girlfriend.
The disgraced TOWIE star sang a slew of romantic hits, danced with hen parties and spoke about his Towie past as he took to the stage at Olivia's La Cala restaurant in Marbella, owned by Elliott, just days after girlfriend Nicoline Artursson's catalogue of injuries were revealed in full.
Argent had been arrested by Spanish police on May 5 after former an incident at the home they were sharing when a row turned violent. After accepting a plea bargain Argent avoided a jail sentence, and on Thursday night returned to the same Spanish resort the incident took place in to entertain diners.
Performing at the restaurant owned by Mark Wright's cousin Elliott, a newly-single Arg belted out a slew of gushing love songs from Madness' It Must be Love to the Temptations classic My Girl.
'This is party season, it's party time,' began the TV regular as he started his set. He later asked the crowd: 'I don't suppose any of you lot have seen a little show called The Only Way is Essex before?'
When approached by the Mirror if he had any words for girlfriend Nicoline, Argent replied that he could not talk about the incident.
However, his former ITV cast-mate Elliott did appear to allude to the recent controversy as he introduced Arg to the stage.
"He's been there for me like a rock. And that's what friendship is. That's how I've been brought up. We stand strong together no matter what happens," said Elliott.
'We've been through so much, trials and tribulations. When this place got burned down he was there for me through and through' said Elliott, referring to the 2021 blaze that completely gutted his beachside haunt, that has become known for entertainment nights where reality stars mingle with regular punters on the dancefloor.
Sharing his support, Elliott continued: 'And I just want to say that I love you. You're one of my best friends. Now get up here and let's have a proper party tonight,' he urged Argent, who was waiting in the wings, microphone in hand, before the pair shared an embrace.
Earlier in the night, Elliott had been one of the first to welcome Argent as he nervously arrived at the restaurant looking sombre and dressed in head to toe black.
After smiling and posing for photos on the terrace overlooking the sea front, Argent's mood appeared to lighten as he headed inside and positioned himself at the top table amongst Elliott's Wright friends and family including his wife Sadie.
Kicking off his 30 minute set, he asked the crowd: 'Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Olivia's La Cala. Are you up for a party tonight or what?'
Bringing the performance to a close as the evening drew on, Argent appeared emotional as he thanked the crowd: 'It means the world to me thank you for your support.'

This Designer Bag Is The Best Investment You Could Make – These Celebs Prove It
By now, the phrase 'It bag' is so overused that it's lost all meaning. From the Fendi Baguette to the Chloé Paddington, we're all extremely familiar with the bags which have generated the most hype at any given moment – just like Gucci's new Giglio bag – and become classic investment pieces in their own right. One which has been in existence for a far shorter time than, say, a Chanel 2.55 or Louis Vuitton's Speedy is Loewe's Puzzle bag. It may be younger, but its influence is far-reaching and undeniable, especially as this year marks the accessory's 10th anniversary. Beyoncé with a Puzzle bag in 2016 This anniversary, coupled with the news that Jonathan Anderson is leaving Loewe to take the helm at Dior, suddenly brings into focus the sheer 'It-ness' (sorry) of the Puzzle bag, which on its own acts as the perfect embodiment of Anderson's success at the Spanish label; it's innovative and fresh, but with strong commercial appeal. It may be difficult to remember when Loewe was a flailing heritage Spanish house but that was certainly the case when Anderson joined the brand, where he proceeded to reverse its fortunes and transform it into one of the world's most influential labels. The Puzzle, with its geometric leather panels and top handle, was one of his first accessories for Loewe – and the first new bag the label had launched since the 1980s. Since then, it has become a favourite of everyone from Beyoncé to Sienna Miller to Ayo Edebiri. Naomi Campbell with Loewe's Puzzle bag Each Puzzle bag is handmade in Madrid using 75 separate pieces of leather, and there are numerous techniques involved, all of which take nine hours to produce the finished article. It is, in many ways, a feat of craftsmanship, which is what's always been at the heart of Anderson's work – both for Loewe and for his own eponymous label. Naturally, such a feat deserves celebration, which is why a capsule collection has launched, featuring re-editions of the most iconic Puzzles of the past 10 years – plus one new design. It's something you can see IRL if you happen to be near Harrods this month (until 22nd June), where you'll find a special pop-up dedicated to a decade's worth of Puzzle. The Loewe pop-up in Harrods From painted landscapes to embroidered leather and trompe l'oeil details, this collection of 19 re-editions is proof, if it were needed, that Loewe has returned to its 19th century glory as a leading workshop of leather goods; one which prioritises the most innovative craft techniques. 1. Loewe Puzzle 10 Confetti Top-Handle Bag Puzzle fans will recognise most of the bags, which are inspired by the likes of William Morris and William De Morgan, both leading figures of the Arts and Craft movement in the 19th century. One style is new, though: The Confetti. It is decorated with thousands of tiny leather and metal sequins, maintaining the classic Puzzle cuboid shape, which looks as though it were folded like a piece of origami art. Ayo Edebiri in 2024 with a mini Puzzle bag Of course, the Puzzle – particularly the re-editions – is an investment but, if you're in search of a designer handbag that will truly stand the test of time, Anderson's creation for Loewe still looks as cutting-edge today as it did 10 years ago. Plus, with the designer now at Dior, this is your last chance to invest in Anderson-designed Loewe. Well, unless you know how to win Vinted, that is. 2. Loewe Mini Puzzle Edge Bag in Classic Calfskin 3. Loewe Small Puzzle Biker Bag in Shiny Calfskin 4. Loewe Mini Puzzle Bag in Classic Calfskin 5. Loewe Small Puzzle Edge Bag in Classic Calfskin 6. Loewe Small Puzzle Edge Bag in Raffia and Calfskin 7. Loewe Large Puzzle Edge Bag in Classic Calfskin 8.

TOWIE's Amber Turner shows off her toned and tanned physique in a purple bikini as she soaks up the sun in Portugal amid filming for latest series
She is never shy showing off her incredible figure. And Amber Turner flaunted her toned and tanned physique in a purple bikini as she soaked up the sun in Portugal on Wednesday. The TOWIE star, 31, is out in the European country filming for the show's upcoming 15th anniversary special. TOWIE - which is one of ITVX's most streamed titles with 66million streams in the last 12 months - is back with the brand new series airing on ITV2 and ITVX later this year. And Amber was taking some time out to enjoy some sunbathing this week as she highlighted her gym-honed figure in the skimpy swimwear. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She later took to her grid to share snaps in a skimpy white co-ord as she posed up a storm. Cast members on the upcoming series include Amy Childs, Billy Debosq and the twins, Joe Blackman, Junaid, Ella Rae Wise, Freddie Bentley, Amber, Chloe Meadows, Courtney Green, Elma Pazar, Harry Derbidge, Jordan Brook, Sophie Kasaei, Roman Hackett, Sammy Root, Dan Edgar, Jodie Wells, Diags, Livvy, Becks & Dani. Ella recently hinted that scenes in Portugal could be 'explosive' as she confirmed to MailOnline she would be joining the cast for the upcoming TOWIE 15th anniversary special. 'I'm so excited! I feel like it's going to be explosive. The last couple of series have been pretty tame, so it's time for a big one. And everything's just better in the sun,' she teased. Last month, Ella opened up about her split from her TOWIE ex-boyfriend Dan in a rare interview. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline about the breakup, she shared: 'I'd known about going on the show for a while and honestly thought I was going in with a happy relationship. 'But things happened behind closed doors that I couldn't get over. For once, I put myself first.' Despite their relationship coming to an end, Ella insists things ended amicably: 'Nothing bad happened, there was no cheating or anything, and we still speak. 'In fact, we messaged the other day. I hope we stay friends.' Viewers saw Ella break down in tears inside the famous Celebrity Big Brother house as she opened up about the breakup just days into filming. Reflecting on how vulnerable she felt, Ella added: 'It took a lot of courage for me to be open up and vulnerable about my relationship on the show. 'I was very emotional but honest about how I felt at the time. 'I also didn't know what was happening outside the show and what he was saying, so it took a lot for me to be so open on TV, where everyone will have an opinion.' The reality icon, who left the show in a triple eviction alongside Patsy Palmer and Angellica Bell, also revealed she was surprised by the lack of support from her fellow TOWIE cast mates after her exit. She said: 'I only got messages from Freddie (Bentley), Saffron (Lempriere), and Dani (Imbert), like those are my three best friends. But no one else, which surprised me, I'm not going to lie. 'It was a bit sad because I would've messaged them if they were on a show, but I didn't hear anything. 'But then again, I don't know what they were going through at the time, so I don't hold it against them. I just know I would've messaged.'
