James Argent has reminded himself just how precious the GC’s “candy” is after he paid tribute to her on International Women’s Day.

Argent proved he is willing to put all efforts into winning back Gemma Collins after they split earlier this month.

Argent shared the famous TOWIE clip of Collins stripping off her sarong to reveal her body in a swimming costume before telling Argent: “Take a good look at this. You ain’t ever gonna get this candy.”

“WHATEVER YOU GIVE A WOMAN, SHE WILL MAKE GREATER!” he wrote on Instagram alongside the iconic scene.

He posted: “IF YOU GIVE HER SPERM, SHE’LL GIVE YOU A BABY/ IF YOU GIVE HER A HOUSE, SHE’LL GIVE YOU A HOME/ IF YOU GIVE HER GROCERIES, SHE’LL GIVE YOU A MEAL/ IF YOU GIVE HER A SMILE, SHE’LL GIVE YOU HER HEART.”

Argent appeared to hint at his recent behaviour, which saw him kicked out of the home he shares with Collins after he shared a video of her snoring in bed.

“SHE MULTIPLIES AND ENLARGES WHAT IS GIVEN TO HER,” he wrote. “SO, IF YOU GIVE HER ANY C***, BE READY TO RECEIVE A TON OF S***!!!”

He wrapped up the post with the hash tags #balanceforbetter and #iwd2019.

Fans hailed the post “tremendous” while another wrote: “This is both hilarious and heartwarming.”

A third commented: “Love it!! And he did get the candy! Haha so sweet.”

Others took the opportunity to chastise his recent behaviour, with one begging him not to be a “d***” to Collins.

Argent sent her a slew of fat shaming messages, including one which accused her of having “more rolls than Greggs” after she kicked him out for sharing a video of her snoring with his 761,000 followers on Instagram.

She later addressed the split after returning from a romantic trip to Paris, telling Jonathan Ross that their relationship is “complicated”.

Arg previously told OK! that he feels they would benefit from couples’ therapy.
