James and Nicoline were also seen strolling along the beach together, with the former Miss Sweden showing off her sensational figure in a pink floral bikini with wet hair cascading down her back.

After spending time by the sea, the couple put their clothes back on and held hands.

Nicoline looked stunning in a long floaty blue beach dress, while Arg donned a cool blue shirt and shorts.

This is the first time Arg has been linked to a girlfriend since his ex Stella Turian.

Earlier this year, Arg revealed he was “lonely and struggling” following his split from Stella.

In November, it was revealed that Towie star James and his actress girlfriend, 19 years his junior, had split after a year together.

Arg admitted that it was difficult for him to adjust to the single life and that he especially struggled on Valentine’s Day this year.

He told the My Dirty Laundry podcast: “I’m in a really good place. Everything in my life is perfect, except for my love life.

“It would be nice if that changed. I’ll be completely honest, I really struggled on Valentine’s Day this year.”

He added: “I remember waking up and thinking, I’m not going to look at social media.

“It’s not that I’m heartbroken or upset, but just because I knew it wouldn’t feel great because I didn’t have a Valentine, I don’t have a girlfriend.”

James’ new lady posts on social media to her 21,000 followers.

The blonde model often shows her luxurious lifestyle – from trips to fancy restaurants, to skiing and staying in hotels.

She recently posed on the red carpet in a photo that was liked by Towie star Arg.

She wrote: “It’s an absolute pleasure to be apart of this year’s WORLD VISION GALA to help bring everyone together for a better cause! A big thank you to everyone who attended for all their support and contributions! In 2011, I was crowned Miss Sweden and it is a title that I have forever cherished and respected for its deep purpose.”
