The on-off reality stars fell out after Arg had his ears pinned back last month following a stint in rehab for cocaine addiction.
But when he asked Gemma for help with the cost of the cosmetic procedure, it led to a series of heated rows; ending in Gemma finally calling quits on their romance.
In text messages shared by Gemma to her Instagram story last week, James called her a ‘hippo’, a ‘fat f**k’ and ‘a fat, selfish b****,’ with her telling him ‘we’re over.’
