Elliott Wright has joked that James ‘Arg’ Argent used to "eat him out of house and home."
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star has spent the best part of this year trying to lose weight following years of yo-yo dieting and his close friend Elliott – who owns a restaurant called Olivia’s in Marbella – is so proud of him because he’s managed to turn his life around.
Speaking to the MailOnline, the 35-year-old hunk said: "I’m very proud of him. The first time he came out I don’t think he really accepted his situation, but you can clearly see now that he does. Before, he’d come out and he’d eat me out of house, home and restaurant. Now he comes out and he eats clean, no carbs and he’s running every day.
"I’m proud of him and it’s a pleasure to be around him. If anything he’s a pain in the a**e because he’s up at the crack of dawn every day. I know his mum and dad and from their point of view, they must be so proud of him."
Meanwhile, Elliott has his own things going on as he’s trying to plan his wedding, which will be documented on his television show ‘Playa in Marbella’, following his engagement to fiancée Sadie Stuart last year, but has admitted the process has been "extremely difficult."
He said: "Trying to find a venue has been extremely difficult because we’re at 258 guests so trying to accommodate for everyone is a nightmare. I would’ve liked to do the wedding in Olivia’s if I’m being honest but it wasn’t feasible, so we’re looking at other places. It’s a bit of a liberty. I’m trying to be all over it while trying to let Sadie flow and enjoy her moment.
"Sadie’s a traditional girl so it’s going to be a nice wedding in that respect. I want it to be a warm wedding. I’m not a stuffy person, I don’t want a stuffy wedding, but Sadie is traditional."
