James Argent has been feeling better than ever over the last few years after undergoing a gastric band procedure in 2021, losing nearly 14 stone.The TOWIE star, 36, has now opened up on how bad his health battle really got, admitting that doctors told him he was 'on death row' following the Covid-19 lockdown, which saw him rise to 27 stone. "I remember the doctors saying to 'you're on death row' and things like that, it was bad.
