Gemma has since apologised for releasing explosive text messages he had sent her, while friends have urged James, 32, to ‘sort his life out’.
In a screenshot obtained by MailOnline, the Diva On Lockdown star contacted her fellow reality star in the early hours of the morning.
She wrote: ‘I am sorry about putting the messages up, I was just so hurt you suggested an open relationship, it didn’t look like a joke when you typed it.
‘I was so upset but I shouldn’t have put the messages up, that was anger on my part which was wrong. I am so sorry about that x.’ (sic)

The GC had originally posted the fierce row that led to her breaking up with her on-off beau on social media.
In the texts, the musician called his partner a ‘hippo’ and a ‘fat f**k’, after she suggested that he had bought another woman dinner and not her.
The series of texts began with Gemma saying: ‘What man pays for another woman!!!’, while Arg responded by saying: ‘Insensitive.’
Clearly riled, the blonde said: ‘And the woman that saved your life has to pay for herself!!!’

Her next message was masked, but her now-ex responded: ‘You are supposed to be treating me you hippo.’
Moments later, Gemma uploaded another series of messages, where he sent her a plane emoji in reply to a picture of flight details.
‘I’ll take a mate, I’m not booking it. You said you would be a gentleman!’, she penned, before he shockingly said: ‘YOU FAT F**K. IVE JUST LOST ANOTHER 2000’ (sic). He didn’t refer to what he had lost 2000 of.
Meanwhile, according to The Sun, a source close to Arg allegedly claimed he needs to ‘grow up’ after seeing his dispute with Gemma.

They told the publication: ‘The way James is treating Gemma right now is totally out of order.
‘Gemma stuck by James for months when he was in rehab. And when he got home she was the first one there welcoming him with open arms.
Gemma put her life on hold and now James has repaid her by behaving like this. He needs to grow up and realise he has a good thing with Gemma.’
The insider also said their highly-publicised argument could affect his comeback on TOWIE for the upcoming 10th anniversary show this autumn.
MailOnline has contacted Arg’s representatives for further comment.
It was reported on Monday that Gemma had decided to split with Arg after he told her he wanted to move to Spain and have an open relationship.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Arg went to Spain and he told Gemma that he wants to go back there forever and be in an open relationship.
‘Gemma feels like she’s done everything she possibly can to help Arg but enough is enough. He said that he wants to stay in Spain for good which is worrying as he is known to have suffered relapses there in the past.
‘Gemma was devastated by the conversation and decided to end their relationship entirely – she feels like she had no choice but to walk away.
‘It couldn’t have ended any worse; she has been in floods of tears and has even blocked Arg on social media.’
The duo briefly dated in 2012, before embarking on a tumultuous love story from December 2017.
