But the 22-year-old seemed unconcerned about his overweight frame as he went shirtless while on a cycle ride in Essex yesterday.
Wearing just a pair of blue shorts, Arg cycled around the football pitch after watching Mark Wright in action.
He tweeted: 'Cycling with the boys then over 2 Essex FC! On bench today but didn't get on, Too close 2-2. No super sub performance but I'll be back guys!'

However, the professional singer has been finding the slow progress of his diet hard to cope with.
He wrote in his diet diary for Fabulous magazine: 'I've found it really hard fitting exercise in and getting my hands on the right foods I need to eat to lose weight, but this week I think I'vefinally cracked it. Phew!

Diet plan: The 22-year-old has been working hard to shed his excess pounds
So far, Arg has lost 10-and-a-half pounds, but still has a way to go before he reaches his first target of 16st 4lbs.
Arg said he decided to lose weight when he realised how out of place he looked next to his TOWIE co-stars.
He explained: 'I hate my man boobs, love handles, thighs and belly. I can't stand how my shirt buttons strain and I feel rubbish standing next to my TOWIE cast mates Mark Wright, Kirk Norcross and Joey Essex - they're so buff.
'I used to laugh it off but when we went on holiday to Marbella just recently, I hated taking my top off.'
However, Arg can be safe in the knowledge that he has a lot of support from his girlfriend Lydia Bright.
Lydia said in an interview earlier this year: 'People have been mean about James's size, but he's always yo-yoed. He's 17st, 11lb right now but he wants to lose weight because he's unhappy, so I'll support him.
'I love him whatever size he is, though. The same people keep saying I'm too thin. I've lost a stone since the show started, but that's only because I'm always on the go.'
