Gemma Collins has reportedly rekindled her relationship with former TOWIE co-star James Argent during the latest coronavirus lockdown.

The pair have been dating on and off since 2017 but split last summer after he branded her a "hippo" and a "FAT F**K" in leaked WhatsApp messages.

Since then Arg has confessed to being a recovering cocaine addict and is also on a health kick after hitting 26 stone, while The GC has seen her father hospitalised with coronavirus.

"They are spending every waking moment together," a friend told The Sun.

"James has supported Gemma through some tough times in these last few months and she's doing the same with him with his battle with sobriety and his weight.

"They're not shouting about it like they've done previously but they are inseparable right now and are properly an item again.

"They're talking about their future together - marriage, kids, the lot."

Collins, who turned 40 last weekend, has previously revealed that she miscarried Argent's baby during the first lockdown but is determined to get pregnant in 2021.
