Former Towie star has been signed up for E4’s new reality show The Real Dirty Dancing and has shared how he avoids getting carried away whilst filming.
When asked in an interview with New magazine if he can see how the ‘Strictly curse’ happens, Arg shared his thoughts and how he avoids getting overly excited.
The star said: “Oh, for sure. Especially if you fancy your partner and you’re bumping and grinding and all that.”
He also added: “It depends what kind of dance you’re doing as well, I suppose.

“I kept it professional, though. I don’t get too excited.”
He also shared how the opportunity to star on the show came at the perfect time.
The Real Dirty Dancing star said: “To try and become Johnny, you’ve got to feel sexy and confident.
“So it just all came at the perfect time for me, really.”
He also admitted: “I felt like I was in a really good headspace and happy and confident.
“So it was kind of the perfect show for me at the perfect time.”
James will embody the iconic character Johnny from the famous dance movie with the help of professional dancers.
Whilst the professional dancers will teach the contestants the dances, the celebs will perform the dance routines together.
TV veteran Anthea Turner will also star on the dance challenge and has been partnered up with James.
Also talking in an interview with New magazine, Blue singer Ryan explained how Arg had a cheeky crush on his dance partner Anthea!
“Arg was obsessed with Anthea though! He was dribbling from his mouth.
“Every time she danced, he was drooling and I was like, ‘No, stick your chin up.’
“But he made it very known that he felt feelings for her and it was great.”
As the stars recreate scenes from the film, they will be judged by comedian Keith Lemon and Pussycat Dolls’ star Ashley Roberts.
Gogglebox star Tom Malone Jr, TV personality Saffron Barker, former Blue singer Lee Ryan, celebrity quizzer Bobby Seagull, Geordie Shore’s Marnie Simpson and Hollyoaks’ star Chelsee Halsey are also all set to compete in the show.
The best performing celebrity couple will win the dance challenge and be crowned the best Baby and Johnny.
