A TOWIE star will be heading north to Bolton to entertain diners at a popular restaurant.

James ‘Arg’ Argent, who has appeared on the hit reality television show The Only Way Is Essex, is now a singer, and will be performing at Thai restaurant, Namploy in Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park this spring.

The singer will be appearing on April 6 and he will also stage a meet and greet session during the evening.

Organiser, Roberto Polacco said: “We are bringing James Argent over to Bolton for a meet and greet and he will sing as well.

“This is his first time in Bolton, and we chose Namploy because it’s a large venue and holds many people.

“James does a lot of events and is a wedding singer at the moment, and it’s been going well.

“He is a real people person and has been getting himself in good shape. “

James is said to be keen to get outside of London and wanted to go to the outskirts of Manchester.

Roberto said: “He’s done gigs in Manchester and it’s about time we brought him to the outskirts and saw Namploy and thought it would be a great venue for him.

“He will be singing and come with another guy and there will be a meet and greet and raffles and charity memorabilia, it will be a fantastic night.

“He’s really excited about it and he’s never been here.

“I have been to Bolton myself and it has a great nightlife, it’s a great place to be."

James is currently performing up and down the country.
