James’ attire appeared to be from his time on Channel 4’s Sink or Swim in 2019, when he last swam the English Channel to help raise money for charity.

Arg is currently on a mission to lose six stone by Christmas after undergoing the surgery.

Mark, 34, has told James ‘he can join him over the gym anytime he likes’.

Earlier this year, Arg took to Instagram to share a snap of himself wrapped in a towel while at a lido as he explained to fans how he’s taking care of himself after surgery.
He penned: ‘It is extremely important that I continue to take good care of myself not just physically but mentally as well, After such a big operation & life change!’
