James Argent<\/a> has been warned he will be put behind bars if he tries to contact his model girlfriend, ex Nicoline Artursson<\/a> in the next two years after admitting a domestic violence offence at a Costa del Sol court.<\/p>\n

The ex-Towie star, 37, pleaded guilty to \u2018mistreating\u2019 former Miss Sweden Nicoline, 32, after being arrested on May 5 and hauled before a judge.<\/p>\n

He was handed a six-month suspended prison sentence and a restraining order preventing him from contacting or approaching the Artursson for the next 24 months.<\/p>\n

Argent was spared jail after striking a plea bargain deal with public prosecutors ahead of his May 5 trial at Fuengirola\u2019s Court of Violence Against Women following his arrest hours earlier.<\/p>\n

Speaking out for the first time since the news was announced, Argent told the MailOnline<\/a> that he is still sober and ‘devastated’ by the incident.<\/p>\n

‘I haven’t relapsed. I am still three years and four months clean and sober.<\/p>\n

‘I am devastated by what’s happened,’ he said.<\/p>\n

The Sun<\/a> reported that he pushed his girlfriend of nine months down steps outside her apartment in nearby Cala de Mijas during a row.<\/p>\n
