James Argent performed for Lydia Bright’s daughter at her birthday party, with fans hoping for a reunion between the former flames.
The pair were in a seven-year on-and-off relationship that ended in 2016, with the highs and lows documented on reality series, The Only Way Is Essex.
However, the pair have since formed a friendship, with James, 35, helping Lydia, 32, celebrate her daughter Loretta’s birthday by attending the little girl’s party.
He also took to the microphone to perform in front of the other guests.
Taking to Instagram, Lydia uploaded a clip of Loretta’s birthday, as she held her daughter in her arms and danced with her around the guests.
