But now The Sun on Sunday can reveal that he wooed 18-year-old actress Stella Turian by serenading her with love songs and Mafia movie marathons in his Essex mansion.

Loveable Arg, 34, said: “Stella is extremely intelligent, very talented and she’s fluent in four ­languages, including English, which is lucky, as my Italian’s not great, although it’s improving. "And she’s beautiful, too. “I feel very lucky. "Sometimes I have to pinch myself to remind myself this is all really happening.” While he may have felt intimidated by multilingual Stella, Arg had a trick up his sleeve to charm her.
