Gaz Beadle is returning

Including the return of two Geordie Shore legends. 

This series, there’ll be lots going on - including Chloe Ferry’s 30th, which will take place in Lisbon.

And then of course, the reality star cast will jump over to Italy for Kyle and Vicky’s wedding. 

But just as things couldn’t get much juicer, Gaz Beadle and Aaron Chalmers are going to be returning to the hit show.

Original member Gaz Beadle, 37, is one of the biggest names to come off the show.

Gaz initially quit the show in 2017 after six years when his ex-wife, Emma McVey, fell pregnant with their first child, Chester.

They went on to have a daughter, Primrose, in 2019 but split up in 2023.

Gaz is now in a relationship with Maia Ellen, while Emma is with boyfriend James Staszewsky.

Last year Gaz distanced himself from a return by suggesting fatherhood was taking up all of his time.

Speaking to , Gary said: “I've always said that about Geordie Shore, I love all the cast and Geordie Shore got me where I am. I don't have a bad word to say about it.

“The thing for me is, I'm not just free now, I've got things to think about, I've got kids, they're at school.” 

But clearly he’s ready for a comeback, alongside another legend of the Shore - Aaron. 

The reality TV star left the Geordie Shore house in 2017 to become a professional MMA fighter - where he amassed a 5-2 record.

Gaz Beadle's best Geordie Shore moments

A kiss on the head

The first ever episode laid the groundwork for the debauchery to come.

Party animal Holly Hagan, the n18, dashed into the Geordie Shore compound and quickly became acquainted with Gaz's member, dubbed the parsnip, giving it a kiss.

Fight night

Ricci Guarnaccio - who joined the show in the second series - and Gaz had a memorable scrap after not seeing eye to eye.

The argument - which happened at Vicky Pattison's birthday - got so bad that security had to break them up, and they were suspended from the show.

In a look back, James Tinsdale said: "I remember the crew, we saw them physically jump in!"

And Charlotte Crosby added: "The crew members could've got hurt too!"

Wet and wild

Though it's all now a distant memory, Charlotte Crosby and Gaz were once a powerhouse reality TV couple.

While they weren't shy sharing intimate moments on the show, one messy (and gross) night is hard to forget.

After the couple bizarrely romped in Ricci Guarnaccio's nana's bed Charlotte let one off, much to Gaz's digust.

She found it so hilarious she end up weeing the bed leaving them both soaked.

Geordie Shore star Aaron and Talia Oatway share Romeo, four, and Maddox, three, together. 

They also have a son Oakley, two, who has Apert Syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes fusion of the skull, hands, and feet bones.

The former couple got together in 2017 but split just months after Oakley's birth.

And that’s not all, as Sophie Kasei is also set to return after quitting. 

Sophie Kasaei, 35, has done a dramatic u-turn and returned to Geordie Shore, just weeks after quitting in a pay row, with her team having come to a resolution.

The Sun understands the pay dispute was resolved after eleventh-hour talks with bosses.

A source revealed: "Execs were determined to keep Sophie in the show and didn’t want to lose her.

"After some last minute meetings with her team, they managed to secure a deal everyone was happy with.

"Sophie and her boyfriend Jordan Brook missed the beginning of filming as the majority of the cast jetted out to Portugal last week, but they stunned the cast over the weekend when they turned up to surprise everyone."
