Comedian and presenter Katherine Ryan appears to have criticised the age gap between The Only Way is Essex star James Argent and his girlfriend, Stella Turian.
Argent, 34, has been dating the 18-year-old actor and singer for eight months.
The couple met while Argent was attending a friend’s wedding in Mykonos, Greece, last summer. He then flew out to Italy to see her in September.
“The second we saw each other that day we realised there was an amazing link between us and that we would like to be more than friends, and it’s just grown,” he told The Sun.
He added that the relationship remains long-distance as Turian is “super busy” with her work in Italy while he is working between London and Essex.
After their relationship went public, much was made of the age gap between the two.

Talking to his Towie co-star James Argent in a new clip from ITV, Dan revealed that he's looking forward to seeing Lauren after they kissed during the show's recent series finale.
Revealing that he hasn't had a chance to see Lauren since they "had a little kiss at the carnival", as he's been spending time in Ibiza, he made it clear that he intends to meet up with her soon.
"We spoke… but I haven't actually seen her yet. It's on my to-do list this week," he said.
Dan and Lauren initially decided to call off their relationship after it caused conflict with Jessica Wright, but the pair couldn't keep themselves apart for long.

When The Only Way Is Essex started, it shook up television. Here was a soap opera... but with real people! It's hard to remember now that we've had everything from Desperate Scousewives to The Valleys, but at the time it was genuinely revolutionary.
Sure, it had its critics, but Towie quickly became a phenomenon - ordinary people were asking for vajazzles at their local salons; some started using the word "reem" in complete seriousness. And then, after the rise, came the fall. The backlash. The original cast members leaving. The complaints that it was all a bit samey. The utter nadir of Towie Live (let's never talk of that again).
But slowly, quietly, Towie has been working hard to get its mojo back - and golly, we think it's done it.

Jess and Lauren's row over the latter dating Dan is still having its repercussions in The Only Way Is Essex.
The pair meet up to clear the air this week, but with the whole situation is still on Jess's mind - she turns to Chloe for advice.

The Gc is most definitely back in The Only Way is Essex.
After last week's showdown between Gemma Collins, Lauren Pope and Bobby-Cole Norris, another row is set to break out that divides the residents of Essex.
That clash started after an unflattering impression Lauren made of Gemma and ended with Bobby "wearing a cheap glass of sauvignon blanc" in his own words.
The drama picks up again in tonight's episode as Gemma breaks down to Ferne, Chloe S and Danni - promising she will "never speak to Bobby again" and calling Lauren a "rat".
Elsewhere in the county, Lauren and Vas discuss their side of how the argument developed and Lauren says she thinks Gemma's problem is she "genuinely doesn't like that [they're] not intimated by her".
But Lauren and Vas's attempts to clear the air with Bobby backfire, as his other friends warn him not to shun Gemma.

The Only Way Is Essex star Ferne McCann has admitted that she was "out of order" when she described Georgia Kousoulou as a "doormat".
The pair had a huge row in a recent episode of the show when Ferne admitted to the comment, which came after she had suggested that the way Georgia's boyfriend Tommy Mallet spoke to her was inappropriate - and after Tommy had described Ferne as "loose".
Speaking to Digital Spy today, Ferne admitted that she hasn't spoken to Georgia since their argument but explained that she's not nervous about seeing her again.
"I do think it was out of order [what I said], but it was one of those throwaway comments that was easily said and I did tell her to her face and apologised, so there's not really much more I can do," she explained.

The Only Way is Marbs returned in spectacular fashion last night (June 14), as one couple seemingly split and Bobby Norris debuted his latest piece of modest swimwear.
The spinoff special saw the cast supping Cava and sunning it up in revealing swimming attire in the Spanish city, but before long there were fresh arguments and tears galore among its typically dramatic stars.
Here's seven of the most memorable first episode moments below:
1. Behold the Gold Javelin
Bobby Norris revealed his new swimwear - a skimpy gold thong he spontaneously and oh-so modestly names The Gold Javelin.
Well, at least it boasts more material than the notorious penis sock and the sheer horror of the silver ball bag...
2. James Locke was going to propose?
James Locke revealed to close friend Elliott Wright that he was planning to pop the question and showed him the engagement ring he's been carrying around in his pocket.

The Only Way Is Essex star Lydia Bright has revealed that she feels "happier than ever" in her romance with James Argent.
The couple got back together in the last series of Towie after Arg handed Lydia a list of names of women he'd slept with.
"I think the list for me was a massive sign of closure for a very rocky journey that me and James went through," Lydia said.
But she added that she is in love now, saying: "I feel happier than ever."
Lydia admitted that her hardest time on Towie was when Arg was unfaithful because she was "heartbroken", but explained that she loved sharing their reunion with viewers.
"I always say with Towie that when you are going through a good time it is amplified so much," she said. "Getting back with Arg last series was such a special time, and sharing my happiness with the public was amazing.

Move aside David McIntosh... Towie's James Argent is now the title holder of the world's shortest-shorts-wearer, after stepping out in a microscopic pair of baby blue trunks in Marbella.
Although they were quadruple the size of what The Only Way is Essex co-star Bobby Norris attempts to pass of as swimwear, Arg's skimpy swimmers still left very little to the imagination.
The 25-year-old star was joining cast members of the ITVBe show to film the series' annual spin-off special in the sunny Spanish city.
He was pictured hitting the beach with newbie Peter Wicks, who donned a more modest pair of polka-dot trunks.
Chloe Sims, Chloe Lewis, Danielle Armstrong and Brentwood power-couple Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet were also seen strutting their stuff in their finest swimming attire at the resort earlier this week.
Arg, meanwhile, was snapped getting cosy with on/off girlfriend Lydia Bright.

One thing you can say about The Only Way is Essex is that it's never short of melodrama that would have you reaching for your 'duff duffs', if you were in a fictional Square somewhere in E20.
This week is no exception, as Towie hurtles towards its finale (well, until the summer) with make-ups, break-ups and shake-ups aplenty.
Oh well, at least baby Nelly has a smile on her face.
Things are looking promising for Arg and Lydia, as she asks him to accompany her to a Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
(Incidentally, why is a raven like a writing de - oh, never mind. Not the time or place.)
Lydia's still got concerns around trust and honesty when it comes to her old flame, though, and it all gets too much for her as she has a heart-to-heart with Lewis, questioning whether she can really move forward.
