JAMES ‘Arg’ Argent and Gogglebox star Tom Malone Jr joked that they’re the real Baby and Jonny as they showcased their smooth moves.
The former Towie star created a short video using clips from the original 80s movie Dirty Dancing and replicated the dance steps with co-star Tom.

The lads who competed on the E4 show teamed up to recreate the most memorable scenes – including climactic lift at the end.
Shaking his hips, Arg proved he’s still got the moves despite not winning the show as fans said the show was “fixed” after Lee Ryan and Saffron Barker were named the winners.
Unfortunately, the reality pair couldn’t execute the all-important finale lift – with Arg taking on the role as Baby, played by Jennifer Grey in the popular film.
Within a few hours the clip had racked up thousands of likes, with Arg captioning it: “The Baby and Johnny you never knew you needed! How would we have done in the competition? 😂 #TheRealDirtyDancing 💃🏽🕺🏻.”
He added: “The end 😂 God loves a trier 🕺🏽.”
Fans were loving the attempt, with one commenting: “Aaaah, the REAL Baby and Johnny!! 😂”
Another posted: “I really needed that laugh thanks guys.”
The series reached an emotional climax and many said they were in tears watching James and Anthea Turner in the final with Lee and Saffron.
People spotted Blue singer Lee and Strictly Come Dancing star Saffron bungling their lift, and said Towie star Arg and TV presenter Anthea were “robbed” of the title.
It was down to the studio audience who would win, with Arg and Anthea losing out on the crown.
But watching at home, one person ranted on Twitter: “Nooo arg and anthea was robbed! That lift.”
Another penned: “Never expected to like #RealDirtyDancing but it’s been terrific.
“Catching up with the final which was brilliant, but Anthea and Arg were the winners for me.”
Fans had been gripped by Arg’s chemistry with Anthea from the get-go.
They were in hysterics seeing Arg’s excitement over kissing and dirty dancing with the “only woman for him” Anthea in a steamy scene from the classic film.
One fan wrote: “Arg is dying of excitement inside right now. HE JUST KISSED ANTHEA TURNER.”
Another said: “Why are @RealJamesArgent and @AntheaTurner1 not together? Yous are CAAAUUUUUUTE.”
A third added: “Woohoooo arg and Anthea ,lovin it.”
And last week Real Dirty Dancing viewers were in tears as over Arg and Anthea’s powerful performance.
