Where original Geordie Shore cast are now as show’s axed – Hollyoaks heartbreak, amazing weight loss & unusual ‘sex ban’
WITH wild drinking parties, big bust-ups and sex scenes galore, Geordie Shore was one of the UK’s wildest reality TV hits.
Now after 12 years of crazy antics on screen, insiders have told The Sun the MTV show is being pulled due to plummeting ratings.

The source told us that after the 24th season and reunion episode have been filmed MTV “will not be commissioning any more”.
Geordie Shore, which first aired in 2011, made household names of the likes of Charlotte Crosby, Vicky Pattison and Gaz Beadle but not all of the were so lucky.
While some of the gang managed to break away from their amusing antics some are still getting “mortal” and “pied off”.
As fans wave ‘bye, bye’ to ‘Why, aye’ group, we look at where they are now.
Gaz Beadle – £4.6m payday and wife’s shock diagnosis
Gaz Beadle-McVey, 34, has easily made the biggest transformation since leaving Geordie Shore.
Before he was the ultimate ladies’ man and if a night out clubbing didn’t end in him bringing someone home, he felt a failure.
Despite this, Gary and co-star Charlotte had a lengthy on-off relationship until 2016, when they ended things for good and she quit the show.
Gaz stayed on, but eventually left in 2017, not long after he started dating his now-wife Emma McVey.

They had their first son, Chester, together in January 2018, and their daughter Primrose prematurely in December 2019.
Gaz and Emma got married in July last year, shortly after the latter revealed she had been diagnosed with three holes in her heart.
One month later, she was hospitalised after she “lost a lot of blood” and had to leave her husband to take care of the kids.
Last year, Gaz revealed he was “proud” of his reality TV appearances after making a cool £4.6million, because he had previously struggled to find work as a tiler and was on the dole.
Charlotte Crosby – Unlucky in love
9
Charlotte Crosby, 32, quickly became a fan favourite thanks to her witty one-liners and unrequited love for Gaz.
Despite her drunken behaviour and constant bed-wetting, she even went on to win the 2013 series of Celebrity Big Brother.
Over the years, she’s been open about having extensive work done including a nose job, fillers and Botox.
After 12 series of Geordie Shore, Charlotte eventually quit when her on-off romance with Gaz finally came to an end.
She has since dated reality TV star Stephen Bear and hosted MTV show Just Tattoo Of Us with him.
After that, she dated Love Island alumni Joshua Ritchie for two years, and later fled to Croatia following a dramatic split with videographer Liam Beaumont – her boyfriend of a year and a half.
Now Charlotte’s dating Jake Ankers, a businessman who appears to be linked to restaurants, nightclubs and private limousine hire.
She claimed he’s “hubby material” and is the “only one” she has dated who could afford “the ring of my dreams”.
Charlotte gave birth to her first child Alba Jean in October 2022 and was recently seen strolling around with the four-month-old girl.
Away from love, she’s been very successful in the fast-fashion world. She debuted her first collection with In The Style in 2015, and has had more than 25 since.
Vicky Pattison – Party girl to presenter
9
Vicky Pattison, 35, is a far cry from the girl who spat at Jay Gardner in series one and got arrested after getting into a fight with other women in a club.
She had a few long-term relationships during her time in Geordie Shore, having dated her co-star Jay Gardner and even got engaged to Ricci Guarnaccio, who joined the show later.
But Vicky quit the reality hit in 2014, and went on to win I’m A Celebrity in 2015.
Following that, she was regularly seen on Loose Women, and presenting This Morning.
Vicky has been engaged three times, most recently to Essex businessman Ercan Ramadan who proposed last year.
She flashed her giant engagement ring at the world premiere for Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.
Recently during an interview with The Sun, she told us how fame was a poisoned chalice that turned her into “a right d***”.
Holly Hagan – 3st weight loss & sex ban
9
Holly Hagan, 30 shocked fans when she stripped off to get in the hot tub, whipping out her FF boobs, on her first night in the Geordie Shore house.
During her time in the show, she had romances with James Tindale, Scott Timlin – AKA Scotty T – and Kyle Christie, before leaving in 2016.
She returned in 2018 and appeared in three series until departing once more in 2019.
Holly has changed massively since her Geordie Shore days, having got into fitness and shed three stone over three years.
Last year, she told fans she was “1,000 per cent filler blind” and dissolved the lip-plumping chemical.
Holly is married to footballer Jacob Blyth, who she’s been with since 2017 – and initially put him on a sex ban until their wedding.
Their big day was initially delayed due to coronavirus restrictions before she revealed to having tied the knot in a secret ceremony in Ibiza last year.
James Tindale – Successful personal trainer
9
James Tindale, 32, was known for being fiery and argumentative on Geordie Shore, as well as for his flirty relationship with Holly.
But he quickly left the show in 2015 when he started dating Kate Thorne outside the house.
He returned, single once again, in 2019, and is still on the show now.
During his time off, James became a very successful personal trainer, and created a gym, Gym Unique – and became a walking advert by getting extremely ripped.
It’s not known if he’s dating currently, but the ex-reality star claims the show stunted his chances of romance because of filming commitments.
“It’s very hard for some people to get their head around,” James previously told the Mirror.
“But for me, I know that I’ve got to be with a certain type of person to be able to make it all work.”
Jay Gardner – Tanning expert
9
Gaz’s best friend Jay, 36, appeared in the first three series of Geordie Shore and was romantically involved with Vicky.
As well as their relationship, he was very well-known for his orange glow – so much so that he now owns the fake tan line Jay’s Tan.
In 2012, Jay quit the show to be with his then-girlfriend Chloe but returned for two series in 2013, before quitting again and rejoining for the reunion series.
He can still be seen flexing his muscles on Instagram and is determined to keep fit and healthy after a family tragedy.
Jay revealed his dad’s battle with stage 4 prostate cancer was his motivation to avoid bad foods and unhealthy habits.
Sophie Kasaei – Boxer romance
9
A close friend of Charlotte and Holly, Sophie Kasaei, 33, starred in seven series of the show before being abruptly axed due to allegedly using a “racist slur”.
During her time on the show, she was in a long-distance relationship with DJ Joel Corry, who cheated on her multiple times.
Along with Jay, Sophie returned for the Birthday Battle in 2016 and later became a full-time cast member again in 2019.
She’s spent many years single, but before dating boxer and former squaddie Lee Gray. After their split, she was linked to TOWIE star Jordan Brook.
Greg Lake – Hollyoaks heartbreak
9
Greg Lake, 38, was only in the first series of Geordie Shore, as he didn’t really fit in with the rest of the lads who all loved partying and drinking a lot more than him.
Greg kept a relatively low profile after the show, but he did date Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe for eight years and they share a son together, Daye.
However, Jennifer confirmed on social media in August 2020 that the couple had split “amicably” and would “remain friends”.
It seems his sights are set on bringing fancy dining to Morpeth, Northumberland, with his restaurant Novo.
Who’d have guessed the former party animals would be so settled now?
