At the time of their split, a source told Most read in Celebrity The insider said: "Throughout the summer it became increasingly difficult for them to meet up due to their work commitments.

James was later taken to the Court of Violence Against Women in Fuengirola where he admitted 'mistreating' Nicoline, who was also present in court. As well as the suspended jail term and restraining order, judges ordered him to carry out a 'resocialisation course in the field of gender violence'. The incident happened just days after the couple were pictured together on the beach in Calahonda. It is understood Nicoline has since remained in Spain following her ordeal while James has returned home to his native Essex. Step in to prevent it By Emma Armstrong, CEO of charity I Choose Freedom MOST abuse incidents happen behind closed doors and, because of low conviction rates, no one knows the full scale. In this case, the restraining order is important as domestic abuse is rarely a one-off. Including a gender violence course also shows the Spanish court knows prevention is critical. We will see a meaningful reduction in cases only when we combine a response that deals with the immediate issue, and prevents abuse in future. Sources close to the telly star insist he is 'extremely sorry' for what has happened and insists he never meant to harm A friend explained: 'James has been at home in Essex since this happened. 'He said he had a row with Nicoline and that he tried to end the argument. "James said he pushed Nicoline and that she fell. He is remorseful about what happened but is insisting he never meant any harm. 'He's extremely sorry for it. 'James said he was honest when he spoke to the police and told them everything that had happened.' The TV personality regularly posted pictures of the pair loved-up on holiday. He went public with his new love in September last year when they flew to Saint-Tropez in the South of France for a romantic getaway. James confirmed they were dating in an Instagram post that showed them eating at the exclusive Indie Beach. He wrote: 'I honestly started to think that it might not happen for me but I found you and everything changed.' He added: 'Jag älskar dig' which means 'I love you' in Swedish. Nicoline replied: 'I love you so much, my man, my James.' Nicoline and James were also seen together on holiday in Barbados in February.

WEIGHT TROUBLES OF REALITY TV JOKER By Ellie Henman JAMES 'Arg' Argent became a firm fan favourite when he shot to fame on The Only Way Is Essex in 2010. Mark Wright's pal was the joker — and had on-screen romances with his co-stars Lydia Bright and Gemma Collins. He stayed close with both following their break-ups but has struggled to find lasting love. Before meeting Nicoline, he had a year-long relationship with Italian model Stella Turian — 17 years his junior. A year on from their 2023 break-up, Argent hooked up with Nicoline. He has struggled with weight and in 2016, following a turn on Channel 4 ski show The Jump, he appeared on ITV's reality show Sugar Free Farm. But by 2021 his weight had ballooned to more than 27st and he had gastric sleeve surgery. It helped him lose 14st but he needed surgery to get rid of excess skin. In May 2023, he told The Sun he had control of his weight and drink and drug demons — and had never felt better. 10 He soon moved on with stunning former Miss Sweden Nicoline Artursson Credit: Instagram/@real_argent 10 Sources close to James insist he is 'extremely sorry' for what has happened Credit: Splash 10 Nicoline started modelling as a teenager and represented Sweden at the Miss World beauty pageant in 2011
