He’s embraced a life of sobriety for more than two years after battling his demons.
But James Argent has revealed a secret he’s been harbouring from his family and friends after losing a bet during a wild yet sober night out in Majorca.
Speaking on the My Dirty Laundry podcast, James, 36, said that while he now considers himself to be the most ‘boring’ of all his friends, that doesn’t stop him from having the odd moment.
He said: ‘No one’s ever noticed it or spotted it, but this is the wildest thing I’ve probably done in the last few years.
‘I was having a right laugh with a group of people on a night out in Majorca, and we were all talking about tattoos. And then, there was a bit of a dare and a bet.

Speaking on the My Dirty Laundry podcast, James said that while he now considers himself to be the most ‘boring’ of all his friends, he had something done that no-one has ever spotted
He got a treble clef tattoo which he said no one has noticed, (pictured) – but was too embarrasssed to say what the bet was over
‘I can’t really go into too much detail but I lost.’
He continued: ‘I had always promised myself I would never get one because I am not a tattoo person.
‘But I lost the dare and the bet and I had to, you know, I went and got myself a little tattoo when I was in Majorca.’
Holding his wrist up to the camera, James, who is a wedding singer in The Arg Band, revealed the little treble clef symbol he has had inked, in homage to his singing career and love of music.
He said: ‘It’s only a little one, you can barely see it, it’s like a music note. That’s as wild as it gets.
‘It wasn’t too painful, it wasn’t too bad, but it was funny. It gives me a great memory after the gig in Majorca so it’s something I’ll be able to laugh about.
‘I wouldn’t have anymore though. I’m quite happy with this one actually, because I think it’s quite cool, well it’s quite me. Maybe I might have something similar on the opposite wrist. I don’t know.’
James is currently travelling between Spain and the UK with his singing career and he said he is incredibly proud of his band.

‘The musicians in my band are world class musicians and we take it very seriously. People are shocked at how strong the band is. I’m just very proud of what we’ve achieved over the last couple of years.
