TOWIE’s James ‘Arg’ Argent has been embroiled in the show’s latest scandal.

The unlucky in love 26-year-old caused controversy when he was pictured alongside two friends with balloons in their mouths on Twitter. The balloons are believed to be filled with nitrous oxide which can be lethal.

According to reports the photo was taken down almost as soon as it was posted.

A source told The Sun: “Arg is one of the only original cast members left and thinks he’s the biggest star and can get away with anything. But bosses want to send a message that nobody is bigger than the show.

“There are bimbos and himbos all over Essex queuing to get on TOWIE, so even Arg shouldn’t be too confident.”

But Arg might not be so lucky this time as it is not the first occasion that the wannabe singer has used the legal high. In 2011 he tweeted about his experience writing: "2nd night: I jumped on a heater and bent it in half, My boys room got bantered with kebab, Toothpaste, and Cream all over our beds tbc.

"Contined...Laughing gas, I puked in club toilets and on way home, pots for shot pool game, rumours of someone drink got pissed in!#essexboys."

Several stars from the show have been embroiled in drugs controversy this year. In June resident Essex lothario Mario Falcone was suspended from the show after he was filmed snorting cocaine with a rolled up bank note, and James ‘Lockie’ Lock was fined for possession of a class C drug.
