James ‘Arg’ Argent supported by best pal Billie Shepherd at gig three months after attack on beauty queen e... ngocc

BILLIE Shepherd showed her support for James 'Arg' Argent by supporting him at a gig in Mallorca.

Shamed Towie star Arg came under fire after attacking his girlfriend model Nicoline, 32, while they were at their home in Spain three months ago.

Despite a damning 800-word statement from Nicoline detailing what happened that night, Arg has been business as usual, picking up performing gigs with his band in Mallorca.

And for his latest appearance, Billie and husband Greg popped over to see him, grabbing a smiley photo with their pal after he was done on stage.

Arg happily shared the pic, and beamed as he said: "My old friends [Greg] and [Billie] came and surprised me at my gig tonight. Love Em."

Billie and Greg are currently having a family getaway in Mallorca with their children Nelly, Arthur and Margot, but slipped off for some time together for the evening.

The duo are seen with bronzed tans as they posed with Arg, each holding drinks in their hand with Billie wearing a blue sundress and Greg wearing a brightly multicoloured shirt.

Arg stood between them, beaming with an arm around each of them, in a white unbuttoned shirt.

Arj was arrested and spent several hours in police cells before admitting a charge of domestic violence in court over the incident, which occurred in May.

He shoved Nicoline Artursson down a flight of stairs during an argument, with Nicoline later revealing he started throwing her clothes over their balcony while she was injured.

He was handed a six month suspended sentence and a two-year restraining order, banning him from contacting Nicoline. 

In her statement following the incident, she said: "I have cried so many tears thinking about the way he chose to hurt me. He said he loved me and I believed him and here we are.

“There is now a legal record of what happened. Violence has no excuse - no matter how much love preceded it.”

Arg has only spoken briefly about the incident, saying he was "devastated" by what happened but denied speculation he had broken his three-year long sobriety.

However, the Towie cast members and longtime friends of Arg have continued to rally around him, with Tommy Mallett and Georgia Kousoulou having him at their wedding, and Megan McKenna celebrating her nuptials with him in attendance too.

Long-time best pal Mark Wright has also been silently keeping an eye out for him - though was unimpressed with his behaviour.

“Arg is basically Mark's family, it was never in question he'd support him, though of course he was completely unimpressed by everything that went down between Arg and Nicoline," a source explained to The Sun.

“Mark put his head in his hands when it all came out, mainly because he knows he's stuck between a rock and a hard place.

"Arg is his best friend, and there is a lot of loyalty there, but Mark has a respected career and now a daughter - he absolutely doesn't condone violence towards women."
