Essex's James would wed Lydia

Love hopes ... James 'Arg' Argent said he'd be willing to marry Lydia Bright if that would win her back

LOVELORN James 'Arg' Argent has said he would wed Lydia Bright if she takes him back.

The Only Way Is Essex singer said he is willing to promise anything to win the 20-year-old's heart again.

Fashion blogger Lydia ditched him after complaining about his laddish behaviour and moaning that he spent too much time with his best mate Mark Wright.

The "living soap" star explained to new! magazine that he's seen the error of his ways.

He said: "I have been neglecting her and I've been spending too much time with Mark. I can see that now."

Asked if he would propose to her, he said: "If that's what it took."

Arg, 22, also blamed the attention he's had from women since appearing on the show for the pair's break up.

Viewers recently saw Lydia accuse him of cheating on her after hearing rumours he'd been unfaithful, but he denied doing anything wrong.

He said: "I think there have been issues since last year when we broke up in Marbella. I kissed a girl in Ocean Club and she was really upset.

"Since then, she hasn't been able to trust me. She also thinks I spend too much time with Mark and not with her. And I get attention from girls now, whereas I didn't before. She thinks I've changed."

And he admits the fame of the ITV2 show might have gone to his head.

"I used to sing in a bar in Spain for 100 euros a night. Now I get girls screaming my name. But I'm still the same person. I'm still friendly. I'm the same Arg."

Snaps emerged showing Arg and Lydia having a furious row during Mark and Lauren Goodger's engagement party - although those scenes didn't appear on screen.

He explained: "Lydia thought I was ignoring her, but I wasn't. I was practising my duet with Jessica [Wright] and trying to make the party a good night as Mark's my best friend. When I went up to her, she told me where to go basically.

"Later, when I went to my hotel room, she was in there with our friends and it all kicked off from there."

And Arg admitted that Lydia had lashed out at him but said he didn't blame her for becoming aggressive.

He denied that Lydia was struggling staying on the show now that the pair have split up. But he scotched rumours that she was thinking to quit the cult hit.

He said: "I don't think she'd do that. She's a strong person."

Arg also insisted he didn't have feelings for Essex beautician Amy Childs, saying they were just good friends.

"She's a very attractive girl, but Lydia's the only one for me. She's my soulmate," he added.
