Former The Only Way Is Essex star Vas J Morgan has spoken out on reports that James Argent has been rushed to hospital after sparking fears he'd overdosed for the second time in two months.
The 31 year old took to Twitter to show his support for his former co-star after James, 32, raised alarms when he failed to turn up to a fashion launch party earlier this week.
Vas tweeted two images of himself with Gemma Collins' on and off boyfriend to his Twitter page and shared his message with his 140,000 followers.
The first image sees the pair beaming at the camera, as the second sees them boxing during a trip to Thailand.

He wrote: "I love you James," alongside an emoji of a red love heart wrapped in a bow.
The former Celebs Go Dating star added: "addiction is a very real and very scary disease. keep fighting. we all love you."
It was reported on Thursday that ambulance crews arrived at James' £1.3million home after it had become apparent that he had been missing for 48 hours.
It is thought the star was "out of it" while speaking to the medics on site and is said to have refused to get into the ambulance before being rushed off to hospital.
A source said: "Arg was disorientated and looked like he hadn’t eaten in days. He has been in denial of how bad it’s got and convinced everyone he’s fine but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
"He's been suffering with depression and has been in a bad place for years. This is another blip in his recovery but it is the wake up call he needs.
"Arg is desperate to be happy and healthy again and now accepts he needs professional help to overcome his demons," the pal continued to tell The Sun Online.
Vas — who celebrated being two years sober on Wednesday — previously spoke out on his own demons, revealing he considered killing himself for eight hours on his 29th birthday.
In March, he said: "I thought, 'I either die today or go and get help today because it is not the life I want to be living'."
