James Argent admits cocaine addiction and says two overdoses nearly killed him
TOWIE star James “Arg” Argent has revealed he is a cocaine addict — and suffered two near-fatal overdoses at home.
"My family were banging on the door screaming, ‘Open up’ but I wasn’t answering the door to anyone. They feared I’d overdosed and was dead in the house.The Towie star has admitted to using the drug for seven years, during which time he suffered two near-fatal overdosesand all of a sudden they put my door through. The paramedics did checks on me and I remember being so scared because I had so much paranoia and psychosis.
“Gemma called the ambulance and they broke through the door and did all the checks on me and this time they said, ‘There’s absolutely no way you’re staying here’. “Then — I’ll never forget it — I left my room to ask a cleaner for a charger and when she came back she said, ‘Arg you’re missing, it’s all over Sky News and the internet’.
“I’d lock the doors but I would think people were in my house and they were coming through the windows. I’d also feel like the police were going to turn up. Staying away from reality TV and continuing his newly established routine for the time being is a sensible move.
