The couple have been dating after getting back together in the latest season, yet it has been suggested their romance is being faked for the cameras.
Also at the party was Freddie Bentley, James’ girlfriend Jodie Wells, Sammy Root and Roman Hackett.

James’ TOWIE comeback comes after he revealed he and girlfriend Nicoline Artursson are already planning double dates with his best pal Mark Wright and his wife Michelle Keegan.
After their chance meeting in a supermarket in July, the couple have already moved in together, and in an interview with OK! Magazine, Nicoline shared that she’s already met many of James’ pals from his time on The Only Way Is Essex.
James shared that while Nicoline has met his best friend Mark, she is excited to cross paths with his wife Michelle Keegan.
He said: ‘She’s met Mark a couple of times now, at my gig and at the pub. So that was really nice. She hasn’t met Michelle yet, but I’m sure she will.’
Nicoline added: ‘I’m looking forward to meeting Michelle.’
Despite settling into their home together after just four months of dating, James revealed that there is one particularly awkward snag in their new living arrangement.
He added: ‘Dan Edgar lives with me, so she sees him a lot and she’s giving him motivational talks ahead of Dancing On Ice.
‘Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou came around a couple of weeks ago, and we all had a takeaway at mine. And she’s met Joey [Essex].’

James Argent hints he and his new girlfriend will be heading out on double dates with Mark Wright
In their first joint interview, James and Nicoline, 31, revealed that it was love at first sight for the pair after they bumped into each other outside a Spanish supermarket.
And since that fateful meeting, Nicoline moved to the UK and has now moved into Arg’s Essex home.
Describing the moment they met, James revealed he thought Nicoline was out of his league but decided he had nothing to lose.
He said: ‘I was walking to my gig at Elliott Wright’s restaurant in Marbella.
‘All of a sudden I see this woman coming towards me. I was like, ‘Wow, she’s beautiful.’ She was just in her gym clothes, wearing no make-up. She’d actually just fed a stray cat.’
