James Argent beams in snaps with Towie pals after ex breaks silence on assault
James Argent joined The Only Way Is Essex stars Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Fordham to celebrate their wedding day - after his ex, Nicoline Artursson, broke her silence on his suspended jail sentence
James Argent looked like butter wouldn't melt as he posed alongside his good friends Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Fordham at their wedding - weeks after being convicted of domestic abuse. The 37-year-old reality star was a guest at the nuptials of the former The Only Way Is Essex stars.
Georgia, 34, and Tommy, 33, first tied-the-knot in December 2023, but held a second, more lavish celebration this week. The bride and groom highlighted their day with loved up snaps that they shared on social media on Saturday.
With Georgia shining in her pristine wedding dress and Tommy looking smart in a sand coloured suit, the pair shared details of their big day - which took place in Spain on Friday.
The couple wrote in a joint post: "20.06.2025 . Our Dream wedding finally happened... Best day of our lives. Surrounded by so much love. Can not wait to get all of our pictures & videos back to show you how incredible it was & you'll be able to watch it all."
With the couple sharing their happy news, it appeared the all clear was awarded for guests from the event to share snaps from the celebrations too - and James was one such participant to upload photos himself.
In a post on his main grid, the disgraced star wrote: "My Best Friend's Wedding. Congratulations to @georgiakousoulou @iamtommyfordham.
"I'll never forget us all being in Ibiza over 10 years ago, When you first got together. I knew back then you were destined for each other. You've stuck by each other's side through thick & thin."
Arg continued: "Tommy always said I would sing at their wedding one day & it happened. I had so much fun being your Master Of Ceremonies too, You've both always supported me."
He added: "I can't wait to make many more memories together as we get older, I love you both so much." Arg's post was met with a wall of support from famous friends as he has limited his comments.
Georgia herself was among those replying, typing: "Love you" alongside a single red heart emoji. While former Towie star Ferne McCann also typed "Love" alongside a string of red heart emojis.
Last month, Arg disgusted fans when he left his now-former partner Nicoline Artursson "bloodied and bruised" after pushing her down concrete stairs at a property in Spain. He received a suspended sentence for his actions after striking a plea deal and admitting to a lesser crime of "mistreatment".
Following the horrific incident, Nicoline has been reclaiming her power and declaring she won't be silenced and has been sharing empowering messages online.
Last week she urged her followers to make sure they "partner with the right power" while sharing photographs of herself looking happy and smiling. In a moving Instagram post, she wrote: "Surround yourself with ONLY people who shares the motto of wanting to be their best extraordinary self with you and others."
She continue: "In the mist of a set-back there is a comeback laying ahead of you. I'm so blessed and privileged to be learning from our dear family friend @timstoreyofficial.
"I thank each and every one of you for all your supportive kindness & love you've been showing me - It means more than you'll ever know! I appreciate you all so much."
Hinting towards her ordeal, she continued: "Going through hardships, your focus will be put to a test. Where you re-direct your mindset will be crucial.
"This does not mean to surpress any emotions or feelings - It means to go through them fully no matter how hard it is. The power of humanity is that we cheer each other on when good things are happening and we help each other out when life take you rock bottom. So let's come together! Surround yourself with pure and warmhearted people who will be there with you and let them know they matter to you.
"I feel so passionate about helping others going through big as small hurdles to show you life has a plan for you."
And concluding her post, she added: "Remember, we stand strongest together." Her message was met with a wall of support, with one follower typing in reply: "So pleased you have found peace after your horrific experience."

The pictures of Billi at Georgia and Tommy's second wedding, which was held in Mallorca, come after her ex Andy Carroll was quizzed by police. The Sun on Sunday has exclusively revealed how the ex-Premier League footballer was questioned over bust-ups with his girlfriend Lou Teasdale on the Greek party island Mykonos. Carroll and make-up artist to the stars Lou are said to have rowed at a packed beachside restaurant and then at their hotel. One worker at the Nikolus Tavern said of the first argument: 'We recognised him as the footballer Andy Carroll immediately. 'He seemed very drunk and furious with his partner. 'He was using very bad words. It was improper behaviour. The woman looked very upset.' Police arrived after the first incident and took the former Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham ace to one side for a chat. He was later allowed to return to Lou. But just hours later, police were called again by alarmed staff after reports of damage to the couple's room at a £500-a-night boutique hotel.

It quickly became apparent to the police that there was no reason for them to be there. 'We went outside the restaurant with them together as they insisted they wanted to 'look after' us. 'As far as we are concerned, the situation has been blown out of all proportion by an interested member of the public. No one was arrested and no one was charged with anything. We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together and we are disappointed that a private disagreement has become a public matter.' The Mykonos hotel and police on the island declined to comment when contacted. Meanwhile, Billi touched down in Mallorca last week ahead of Georgia and Tommy's wedding. The mum-of-three, who also looks after Carroll's two eldest children from a previous relationship, looked incredible as she showed her ex what he is missing in a bikini. She has since shared a selection of photos from Georgia and Tommy's big day. They previously said 'I do' in 2023. Billi gushed: "Congratulations @georgiakousoulou & @iamtommyfordham. "The best day & night celebrating you both ❤️." Billi announced her split with Carroll in October last year. He confirmed his romance with Lou just weeks later. 7 Andy and Billi split in August last year after two rocky years of marriage Credit: Getty 7 The pair have three kids together and Andy has two children from a previous relationship Credit: Instagram

Sabrina Carpenter's sexuality ISN'T the problem – instead it's those who vilify women
Our columnist Zara Janjua has her say on the debate around Sabrina Carpenter's new album cover ZARA JANJUA Sabrina Carpenter's sexuality ISN'T the problem – instead it's those who vilify women WHAT exactly is a regressive stereotype of a woman? Because judging by the collective societal nosebleed over Sabrina Carpenter's latest album cover — where she's on all fours, hair playfully held by a man, beside the title Man's Best Friend — apparently, it's any woman who dares to be sexual on purpose. Advertisement 2 Zara Janjua doesn't see what all the fuss is about with Sabrina Carpenter's album cover Credit: The Sun 2 The Espresso singer sparked a backlash over her Man's Best Friend album cover Credit: instagram Cue the outrage. Cue the Facebook dissertations. Cue Glasgow Women's Aid calling it 'a throwback to tired tropes' and suggesting it promotes 'violence and control'. I mean, really? This is what sends people into moral convulsions? Advertisement A consenting adult who's posing in a bit of cheeky sub/dom cosplay? The trope I'm personally bored to death with is the pure, respectable, sexless woman. You know, the one whose value peaks just before she hits puberty and plummets the minute she discovers lube. That's the real regressive stereotype. The virgin. The saint. The woman who exists to be wanted but never wants. We've been peddling that fantasy since Eve got blamed for a fruit salad. Women have always been judged and persecuted for their sexuality — from witch trials to lobotomies, FGM to honour killings. Advertisement Meanwhile, men are celebrated for doing the exact same thing. The Weeknd released a whole concept album as a sleazy club predator and was hailed as 'visionary'. Sabrina Carpenter fans only just realising she's a secret nepo-baby with HUGELY famous TV star family member I'm beyond bored of the double standards. And it's everywhere. Notably on TV — where stereotypes and tropes are rampant. When Disney+ brought Jilly Cooper's Rivals to screen last year, they had their chance to modernise the script but they blew it. The lead male — Rupert Campbell-Black, played by Alex Hassell — is deliciously promiscuous, arrogant, entitled, and is allowed to shag everything that moves, cheat on his partners, seduce stable girls and still ride off into the sunset with a young, virginal beauty, triumphant and completely adored. Advertisement But Sarah Stratton, played by Emily Atack, who mirrors Rupert's behaviour? She's a side character. At first, she's the punchline then the villain — calculating, emotionally unstable, and punished for daring to want. Same libido, different ending. One gets the girl. The other gets the boot. And don't even get me started on what Hollywood did to Samantha Jones — sex goddess. Publicist. Icon. In the final season of Sex And The City while Charlotte was enjoying family life with her husband and adopted child, as Miranda found vulnerability and married Steve and Carrie finally got her happily-ever-after with Big . . . Samantha got breast cancer. Advertisement A disease written-in to attack her womanhood and her libido. Even Kim Cattrall said the storyline felt like punishment for her character's rampant sexual appetite and wild lifestyle. Then came And Just Like That, where Samantha was exiled to London and reduced to a 76-second phone cameo. (Yes, I timed it.) Kim Cattrall has confirmed she won't be returning for season three, because, honestly, who wants to be the sexy scapegoat again? And we're supposed to believe Sabrina is the problem? The problem is that we vilify women who express their sexuality or we turn them into a joke. Advertisement And don't come at me with 'What about the kids?' If your teenager's understanding of sex, respect and relationships comes solely from an album cover, that's not Sabrina's fault — that's yours. Maybe we should be teaching young people to talk about consent, fantasy and desire like actual humans, instead of pretending sex doesn't exist and then blaming women when it inevitably does. The backlash isn't about the image. It's about control. People hate when a woman launches herself crotch-first into the world, without shame, without compromise, and without asking if it's OK first.
