Yahoo News TOWIE star Arg makes hilarious blunder in Sink or Swim
The final episode of Stand Up to Cancer show Sink or Swim aired tonight (September 17), as the brave celebrities were faced with swimming the English Channel to raise money for charity.
Although each and every member of the team did themselves proud, The Only Way is Essex star James 'Arg' Argent began his first stretch of the task by heading in the wrong direction – back to the shores of Dover.
Fitted with tight headwear and goggles, Arg was none the wiser as his fellow participants shouted out corrective instructions to him, but fortunately, he soon found the right path himself and swam towards France.

After completing that part of the swim and he was back on board the boat, Love Island's Wes Nelson informed Arg that he initially swam back towards England, which was then met by embarrassed laughter from the reality star.
Meanwhile, those viewers posting on Twitter found the whole ordeal rather mind-blowing, as you can see from the picked-out tweets below (note: strong language included).
Could this have happened to anyone else?

Even Arg himself joined in with the social media reaction.

Elsewhere, back in May, Arg was told by This Morning's Dr Ranj that he needed to lose 10 stone if he was to avoid developing heart disease and Type-2 Diabetes.
"My friends have always had a laugh and joke about my love of food and the fact I've always been a bit of a chubby, but now it's got to the point where no-one's laughing anymore," the TOWIE cast member explained.
