James Argent was seen looking as though he was in agony after going under the knife for cosmetic surgery on Thursday.

The star who found fame on The Only Way Is Essex has documented his weight journey over the years, having shed a whopping 14 stone in recent years.

Now, the 35-year-old has opted for a little helping hand after visiting the luxury Transform Hospital Group.

James, who recently appeared on The Weakest Link looked frail as he made his way to a chauffeur-driven car following his procedure which normally takes around two to five hours.

The reality star and singer opted to wear a compression top underneath his tracksuit jacket following his operation which will aid his recovery.

Arg decided to go for a relaxed look as he made his way home from the hospital, wearing a Fila tracksuit top, matching bottoms and a pair of slippers on his feet.

However, he will have to wear the specifically designed t-shirt for around six weeks post-surgery while recuperating at his home in Essex.

James' surgery comes after the star decided to have excess skin removed following his dramatic transformation which he certainly hasn't held back when showcasing his body.

In the past, he has spoken candidly about his weight battle, having reached 27 stone at his heaviest, and recently said he doesn't want to get "too complacent".

Appearing on Lorraine, he said: "At the moment I'm going to sleep excited for the next day and I'm waking up positive and full of energy, and just life's really good at the moment.

"I've just gotta make sure I don't get too complacent or carried away, I've gotta remember where I was before and stuff and always keep working every day."

James also previously explained that he had lost too much weight, telling The Sun: "The only problem now is I've lost a little bit too much weight and I need to put on half a stone.

"Everyone thinks it's hilarious, we didn't think we'd ever be in this situation but it's one thing or another with me - that's just me!"

Days before Christmas, James said he was at a "healthy balanced weight", having gained a stone since undergoing his transformation.

Speaking about finding love again after losing weight, he told GB News' Mark Dolan: "I feel more confident", before explaining that he'd met a girl who he "fell in love with" while attending a wedding in Mykonos.
