TOWIE fans swoon over Diags' incredible glow up and say he's 'hotter' than James Lock

TOWIE star Diags has been sending fans wild with his new look as he posed for a picture with pals on a night out.

Diags - who's real name is James Bennewith - was all smiles in the photo which was shared by his friend and The Only Way is Essex co-star James Lock.

Lock shared the picture of himself, Dan Edgar and Diags enjoying a post-Christmas night out at the popular Essex hotspot Aura on his Instagram page but it was Diags who got the most attention from fans.

The 31-year-old reality TV star, who works as a plumber while also starring in the ITVBe series, kept his look casual, wearing a bright, tightly-fitted white t-shirt in the snap, while pal Locke opted for a smarter look, wearing a long-sleeved jumper and showcasing his trademark beard.

Fans were quick to swoon over Diags' new look, glowing up the comment section. One fan even questioned whether it really was the reality star.

They said: "“Is that Diags? He looks b***** well!! fairplay x."

Another added: "Diags is actually looking hotter than Dan."

Other fans commented on how 'dapper' the trio looked together, alongside several fire emojis.

Diags shared the picture on his own Instagram page, captioning the shot as "NYE with the boys - The calm before the Storm" and fans were left swooning for a second time.

One fan commented: "Diags will forever be my fav Essex boy! Looking fly."

Another said: "No way is that Diags! Ooof."

Diags' new look comes just weeks after he revealed he was going on a date with co-star Elma Pazar after months of teasing a potential romance.

The veteran reality star first appeared in the TOWIE series back in 2012, in the show's fourth season as the best friend of iconic cast member Joey Essex.

He has close relationships with Joey, Tom Pearce, Dan Edgar and James 'Arg' Argent which have all been featured on the show over the years, and has been an on-off cast member ever since.
