The sister of The Only Way is Essex star James Argent has been accused of cheating during the London Marathon on Sunday.
Natasha Argent, who also appeared on ITV’s Take Me Out, is being investigated after social media users pointed out her incredibly quick time, reports the Daily Mail.
Organisers have also been alerted to the fact no times were lodged by Argent during the middle section of the event.
The stats indicate Argent started running at 10.16am, reaching the 20k mark at 12.33pm.
She then dropped off the monitor before finishing the 26.2mile race at 1.21pm, suggesting the reality star sibling completed the second half of the race in just 48 minutes.
Argent raised a reported £510 for London Youth, but her efforts have now been marred by the highly suspicious nature of he results.
Social media hasn’t exactly refrained from stirring speculation:
Like scripted “reality” show TOWIE Natasha Argent was told the beginning and end and told to make up the middle bit, so she went to the pub.

Although a few people have pointed out the tracking app failed for other competitors…
The Marathon tracker isn’t working on my phone, does anyone have an update on where Jim is??? ??

Is Natasha the victim of a technical glitch, or did she have an Oyster card at the ready? We will have to wait until the results are verified.
Her brother Arg deleting photos of his sister’s celebration from Instagram hasn’t exaclty helped her case though.
