Former TOWIE star James 'Arg' Argent has made it no secret that he struggles with his weight, even admitting on This Morning earlier this year that he's been told he needs to lose 10 stone by doctors.

Although his weight has yo-yo'd over the last few years, Arg has vowed to take control of his health, and it certainly looks like his current fitness plan is working!

Enlisting the help of Love Island 2018 finalist Wes Nelson, Arg has been working hard, training for Stand up to Cancer's Sink or Swim challenge, which will see a number of celebs attempting to swim the English Channel.

Posting a topless photo of himself alongside Wes, Arg documented his current weight loss, writing, 'I’ve never worked this hard or been so committed to anything in my life! @wes.nelson has been so supportive & has motivated me. In 1 month we are swimming across the channel & leading our team to France in aid of @su2cuk #SinkOrSwim @channel4 🏊‍♂️ #failureisnotanoption'. [sic]

Sharing the same snap, Wes wrote, 'Honestly so proud of @real_arg the weight is falling off 4 weeks out from our big swim across the for stand up to cancer! Let’s get it '. [sic]

Fans and friends were quick to comment on the photo, Arg's former TOWIE co-star Vas J Morgan wrote, 'You should be very proud of yourself ❤' ,with Denise Van Outen adding, 'Keep at it. This is an amazing challenge 🙌🏻❤'. [sic]

It comes after Arg appeared on This Morning back in May, where he revealed he has an 'eating disorder'.

Speaking to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, Arg said, "I’ve always gone up and down with my weight since I was a teenager. I could be really, really slim in the first half of the year, but by the other half I’m morbidly obese.

"All my problems stem from food. I have an eating disorder."

Arg is taking part in Stand up to Cancer's Sink or Swim challenge alongside Olympic gold medalist Linford Christie, Coronation Street star Sair Khan, The Last Leg’s Alex Brooker, TOWIE star Georgia Kousoulou, Blue singer Simon Webbe, Love Island’s Wes Nelson, Hollyoaks star Rachel Adedeji, TV presenter Diane Louise Jordan and Tessa Sanderson and Greg Rutherford.
