Geordie Shore legend set for explosive show return after co-star is axed

A GEORDIE Shore legend is in advanced talks to rejoin the show eight years after quitting.

Original member Gaz Beadle, 37, is close to a sensational return and now just needs to put pen to paper after his former co-star, Scotty T, was axed from the next series.

A source said: “Gaz in talks to return after Scotty was dropped. He still has to sign on the dotted line but it’s looking very promising.

“He almost returned a couple of years ago and everything was all lined up, but then timings didn’t quite work out. This time around, it’s full steam ahead.”

Flying Eze has contacted representatives for Gaz and Geordie Shore for comment.

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 Fairplay Exchange, 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.”;

We revealed yesterday how Gaz's former co-star Scotty T has been axed after his recent driving ban and cocaine scandal.

The reality star, 36, who returned to the Paramount+ series last year, pleaded guilty last month to two counts of driving with a controlled drug, which was above the specified limit.

Scotty was fined £330 and banned from driving for a full year.

Despite his big Geordie Shore return after two years away from the show, bosses have made the decision to drop him from the new series.

A source told Flying Eze: “Scotty T will not be back for the next series of Geordie Shore, which starts filming later this spring.

“While the Geordie Shore cast have never been expected to be squeaky clean, bosses couldn’t stand by his recent off screen antics.

“At the end of the day, it’s not a good look for the show or MTV if they endorse cast members who drive whilst under the influence of illegal drugs.”

They added: “They had no choice but to not ask him back for the next run. If he cleans up his act, there is always the chance he could return in the future, but right now, the show is moving forward without him.”;

The Celebrity Big Brother winner was stopped in Newcastle on October 18 last year.

The city's magistrates' court heard that he had 32 microgrammes per litre of blood in his system while driving his Land Rover Discovery.

The legal limit is 10 microgrammes.

He also had 800 microgrammes of BZE per litre of blood – above the legal limit, which is 50 microgrammes.
