James Argent to perform onstage just days after arrest for 'pushing girlfriend down the stairs'
The former TOWIE star, 37, pushed the former Miss Sweden, 32, during an argument at her apartment in Costa del Sol last Monday while trying to force her out of the front door, The Sun reported.
The ITV personality was arrested for domestic violence, given a six-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year restraining order.
Despite reports that Argent had flown back to Essex, he is scheduled to sing at Olivia's La Cala in Costa del Sol on May 22.
The reality star turned singer regularly performs at the restaurant, which is owned by his former TOWIE co-star, Elliott Wright.
The event is described as being an 'incredible evening of live music, vibrant energy, and unforgettable performances with James Argent'.
He is also booked to perform on May 29, as well as several dates in June, July, and August.
Argent is believed to have pushed Artursson when an argument 'turned nasty', with the model reportedly tumbling down two steps and her shouts alerting neighbours who called the police.
The Swedish influencer, who had dated Argent for nine months, reportedly needed hospital treatment, although the extent of her injuries is not known.
Argent was arrested shortly after the incident on May 5 and kept in a cell for several hours.
He admitted a domestic violence charge when he was brought before a judge at Fuengirola's Court of Violence Against Women. He was also told to complete a 'resocialisation course in the field of gender violence'.
Sources have claimed Artursson was "in total shock" following the incident, having believed the couple were moving towards starting a family.
Speaking out after the incident, Argent said he is still sober and 'devastated' by the events.
'I haven't relapsed. I am still three years and four months clean and sober. I am devastated by what's happened,' he told MailOnline.
A friend previously told The Sun that Argent is 'extremely sorry', adding: '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.'
Argent confirmed his relationship with Artursson last September, with the pair taking part in an OK! magazine joint interview a month later.
They revealed they met outside a supermarket in Marbella and were now living together at Argent's home in Essex and looking to start a family.

Ikea's most Ikea product ever
Ikea is teaming up with a Swedish designer for its latest collection, and the first product being teased is a dedicated plate for Ikea's greatest product: meatballs. The 12-piece Gustaf Westman collection that's launching on September 9th includes a chunky blue serving dish that is shaped to fit exactly 11 of the delicious morsels 'in a celebratory row.' 'I love designing objects for a specific function – it brings a touch of humor and makes them instantly easy to grasp. In Sweden, meatballs mean Christmas, and this plate is my way of honoring that tradition,' says Westman. 'The design is simple, lining up the meatballs so each one is visible, like they're sitting on little thrones. And while it was created with meatballs in mind, it works just as well for many other dishes.' I'm already a big fan of Westman's signature playful style, and I think it pairs beautifully with Ikea's brand aesthetic. Even the five-step instruction manual for this meatball plate is equal parts amusing and charming. I'm going to try (and likely fail) to convince myself that I don't need a dish for displaying meatballs at whatever price tag it gets upon release.

Swedish church is being moved down the road
Lena Tjärnberg, the church's vicar, kicked off the move with a blessing Tuesday morning after the church was lifted on beams to be wheeled across town. Thousands of spectators lined the streets, bundled up in layers for strong winds and temperatures under 10 degrees Celsius (50 Fahrenheit), as the church inched along for hours at a glacial pace. The journey is scheduled to end on Wednesday afternoon. Advertisement In 2001, the Swedish people voted the wooden church the 'best building of all time, built before 1950' in a poll connected to the Ministry of Culture. Built on a hill so worshippers could overlook Kiruna, the Swedish Lutheran church was designed to emulate the Sami style as a gift from LKAB, the state-owned mining company. The Kiruna mine itself dates back to 1910, and the church was completed in 1912. Its neo-Gothic exterior is considered the town's most distinctive building, and tourists regularly traveled there before it was closed a year ago to prepare for the relocation. It's set to reopen in the new location at the end of 2026. Advertisement Tjärnberg said the final service in the old spot was bittersweet. 'The last day you go down the stairs and close the church door, you know it's going to be several years before you can open it — and in a new place,' she said. 'We don't know how it's going to feel to open the door.' This week's move has turned into a two-day, highly choreographed spectacle, run by LKAB and featuring an appearance by Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf. Musical performances include a set from KAJ, Sweden's 2025 Eurovision entry that was the bookies' favorite to win this year's contest. It lost out to the classically trained countertenor JJ of Austria. SVT, Sweden's national broadcaster, is livestreaming and billing it as 'The Great Church Walk' to play off its success with the spring showing of 'The Great Moose Migration' that has enthralled millions of viewers annually since 2019. Known for both the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights, Kiruna and the surrounding area are a major draw year-round for visitors to Swedish Lapland. The region also features the Aurora Sky Station, the Icehotel, and Kebnekaise, the Nordic country's highest mountain. British tourists Anita and Don Haymes had already trekked to Kiruna twice before this year's trip. When they heard about the church's move, they changed their itinerary to ensure they'd be here for it. 'It's an amazing feat that they are doing,' Anita Haymes said Sunday. 'It'll be interesting to see it moving, unbelievable.' Swedish spectator Johan Arveli traveled 10 hours to be part of Tuesday's crowd. Advertisement 'I've been waiting for this for a couple of years,' he said. 'I didn't know what to expect. I had to see it because it's a weird thing and a big thing.' But not everyone is thrilled about LKAB's extravaganza. Lars-Marcus Kuhmunen, chairman of one of the Sami reindeer herding organizations in Kiruna, said LKAB's plans for a new mine could threaten reindeer migration routes and imperil the livelihood of herders in the area. The move of Kiruna's town center has been in the works since 2004. As the mine expanded deeper underground, residents began seeing cracks in buildings and roads. To reach a new depth of 4,478 feet — and to prevent Kiruna from being swallowed up — officials began moving buildings to a new downtown at a safe distance from the mine. As of July, 25 buildings had been lifted onto beams and wheeled east. Sixteen, including the church, remain. At approximately 131 feet wide with a weight of 741 tons, the church required extra effort. Engineers widened a major road from 30 to 79 feet and dismantled a viaduct to make way for a new intersection. A driver, using a large control box, is piloting the church through the route as it travels roughly 12 hours over Tuesday and Wednesday, with a pause each day for fika, the traditional Swedish afternoon coffee break. It's expected to move at a varying pace between 0.31 and 0.93 miles per hour. Frida Albertsson, who moved to Kiruna six months ago, said she was initially 'very nervous' about the church's move. 'I was worried that it was going to fall apart,' she said Tuesday. 'But it didn't, so I'm very happy.' Advertisement

28 Years Later's Danny Boyle's Next Movie Is About Rupert Murdoch, Cast Revealed
's next movie has been announced. Boyle recently directed 28 Years Later, the long-awaited sequel to 2022's 28 Days Later and 2007's 28 Weeks Later. That movie is being followed by at least one more movie, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which Boyle is producing and Candyman's Nia DaCosta is directing. There's also a third movie in the new 28 Years Later trilogy that's in development that Boyle plans to direct; however, Boyle said in June 2025 that they were 'still trying to get the money' for that film, per The Hollywood Reporter. Now, per Deadline, plans for Boyle to direct a movie about media mogul Rupert Murdoch have also been unveiled. What do we know about Danny Boyle's Rupert Murdoch movie? Guy Pearce, who was recently nominated for an Oscar for his performance in 2024's The Brutalist, is in talks to play Murdoch in the movie, which is titled Ink. Sinners Jack O'Connell, who also appeared at the end of 28 Years Later, is being eyed to play Larry Lamb, 'who Murdoch hired to run The Sun when he purchased it in 1969.' 'An explosive cinematic rollercoaster about a group of visionaries and misfits who had an idea for a new kind of news – one that would give the people what they want and would change the face of the world we live in today,' Deadline's article further notes about Ink's plot. '…Based on the James Graham play, follows Murdoch's struggling newspaper, The Sun, as he intends to make it a must-read news source and hires Lamb to run the paper. The purchase of the paper would start a long-standing rivalry between The Sun and The Mirror, leading to the rise of the British tabloids as we know them.' The Studiocanal, Media Res, and House Productions movie is being produced by Boyle, Tessa Ross, Michael Ellenberg, and Tracey Seaward, while Tonia Davis serves as an executive producer. Graham wrote the screenplay for the movie, which is expected to begin production this October. A release date for Ink has not yet been announced.
