James Argent has addressed the fat-shaming comments he made about Gemma Collins during their split.<\/p>\n

The reality star called his ex a “fake joke of a woman” in shocking texts during their recent split and has now addressed the hateful comments.<\/p>\n

“It showed a very one-sided version of events, which wasn\u2019t fair. In my opinion, a row between a couple should remain private and to be made public,” he told OK! Magazine.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s embarrassing and it makes a joke of our relationship. Gemma has been really upset by it and feels guilty about what\u2019s happened,” he added.<\/p>\n

James said that he regrets sending the messages and that “they were sent in the heat of the moment.”<\/p>\n

“We were having a huge row because she was angry with me for posting the video of her snoring on social media.\u00a0She\u2019d kicked me out of her flat and things got nasty between us.”<\/p>\n

“I deeply regret what I said but Gemma gave as good as she got. We both said some very nasty, hurtful things to each other,” he continued.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old said that he loves Gemma and admitted that he shouldn’t be fat shaming anyone: “I\u2019m ashamed of what I said to Gemma \u2013 I love her with all my heart. I have problems with my own weight so I’m the last person who should be trying to fat shame.”<\/p>\n
