Italy is a country brimming with romance – and no one is more aware of that than James ‘Arg’ Argent, who this week was papped enjoying la dolce vita alongside his teenage girlfriend, Stella Turian.

In new snaps, the 35-year-old TOWIE star packed on the PDA with his Italian actress love Stella, 18, with a series of smooches as they explored the stunning city of Venice.

James opted for a casual look for his day of sightseeing, wearing shades, a red polo shirt paired with a navy cardigan and classic blue jeans.

In contrast to the TV star’s relaxed get-up, Stella styled an effortlessly chic all-black suit with a Christian Dior handbag and oversized blazer as she cosied up to her man during a gondola rides through the famous City of Water.

Accompanied on the trip by Stella’s mother – who sat on the bow of the boat as the group took in the sights of the Grand Canal – the loved-up duo were all smiles as they posed for selfies, several of which were taken as they locked lips.
