Gemma Collins felt suicidal during James Argent's drug abuse as she sobs on Life Stories
Gemma Collins opened up on her on-off relationship with fellow TOWIE star James Argent, during her interview on Piers Morgan's Life Stories.
She watched a VT where James spoke about their relationship and his battle with drug abuse which Gemma said changed their whole relationship.
James said: "I was using drugs for two or three days straight in my house. "I would hate Gemma, I would say, 'Why are you telling my family and my friends and the bosses of the TV shows, you're going to ruin my career.'" Gemma and James had another row in 2020 where horrific messages from James to Gemma were publicised, and the pair were not together during the filming of the interview, but are thought to have reconciled since.
