Contrasting figures: Mario and Arg stripped down to their underwear, but Arg exposed more flesh than the fit TOWIE tailor


They are both brunette, hail from Essex, and star in a reality show. But that's where the similarity ends.

James 'Arg' Argent, and Mario Falcone stripped off for their latest stunt, filmed for an upcoming episode of the ITV2 show.

And the two men showed off very different physiques.

Who's the fittest of them all? Mario was sporting a fine physique, while Arg's healthy eating regime seems to have gone out the window

With the temperatures plummeting to below zero, the reality stars looked understandably horrified when they felt the arctic water, screaming in pain as they plunged into the chilly depths .

Arg clutched his crotch in pain as he emerged from the water after tripping over and ending up soaked head to toe.

The crooner was showing off a rotund physique, indicating that his healthy eating plan has gone out the window in the wake of his split from long-term girlfriend Lydia.


What were they thinking? As the temperature plummeted to -2 last night in Essex, James Argent, Joey Essex, James 'Diags' Bennewith and Mario Falcone decided to go for an evening dip in the sea

Mario, on the other hand, was displaying fine form, showcasing his six-pack in a skimpy pair of tighty whities.

The motivation behind the boys' bizarre stunt is unclear, but is sure to be revealed in an upcoming episode.

Perhaps the boys were trying to take Arg's mind off his current woes after it was alleged that he cheated on Lydia during Wednesday night's episode of TOWIE.

After receiving a phone call from someone who told her about the cheating, Lydia declared that she would never trust anybody again.

As she was consoled by mother Debbie, Lydia cried: 'I literally feel sick. For four years how can someone be so deceitful? I'll never trust anybody again.'

'I never want to meet another man. I'll be alone for the rest of my life.'

Arg denies cheating on his ex-girlfriend, and says that she is the only girl he has ever slept with.

Fans will have to wait and see what is to become of the couple in the next episode, to be aired on Sunday night.
