Collins is said to have dumped the reality TV star and locked him out of their Essex house after he reportedly sent her a slew of nasty messages, one of which supposedly accused her of having “more rolls than Greggs”.

A source told The Sun he stood knocking to be let in before Collins’ parents Joan and Alan arrived.

“Gemma ended things really quickly with Arg – she immediately locked him out of the house, and then a scrapyard van turned up to pick up his scooter,” they said.

“He turned up shortly afterwards to find himself locked out and was hammering on the door asking her to let him in.”

The source claimed he was briefly let in before leaving and chatting to Alan and Joan separately outside.

Collins, 38, is said to have chucked Arg, 31, out after a blazing row over being humiliated by a video of herself snoring which he shared on Instagram before swiftly deleting.

According to The Sun, Arg proceeded to bombard Collins with a torrent of weight-related texts, calling her a “fat joke” and an “absolute car crash.”

One message supposedly read: “You fat horrible lump. Nasty mean woman. Who the f*** do you think you are? You’ve got more rolls than Greggs.”

A source told the publication: “She couldn’t believe he posted a post of her snoring to social media. It was utterly unacceptable and humiliating. She feels Arg wouldn’t have done that if he really loved her.”

The couple have had a turbulent relationship since meeting on TOWIE, which has resulted in them splitting in the past. Arg last year revealed he has lost count of the times Collins has changed the locks.

“I love her to bits […] but I don’t think you realise how many times in the past few months she’s given me keys and then got a locksmith round to change the locks,” he said on TOWIE.

On the same episode he also branded her a nutcase as he recalled a time she picked up his smoked salmon breakfast and lobbed it out of the window.

He said: “She puts about six scrambled eggs on my plate and then a big, big, chunk of smoked salmon and I said, ‘Gem this is lovely, but f*** me, how much smoked salmon do you want to put on my plate?’

“She comes over to my plate, picks up the smoked salmon, opens the window and chucks it out – she’s an absolute nutcase.”

Standard Online has contacted representatives for Collins and Argent for comment.
