GEORDIE Shore star Scotty T has been AXED from the series 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.”;
Flying Eze have reached out for comment.
The Celebrity Big Brotherwinner 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.
Scotty's comeback
Last year, insiders teased that Scottywas set to make a return to the series.
A source had told us: “Scotty’s been in weeks of talks and is now days away from signing on to officially rejoin the cast.
“He really missed the show and knows it was his own fault he had to leave.
“The cast all still love him so they’re so happy he’s set to return. It means next series will be incredible – even though he’s done some stupid things in the past, he’s fun TV.
“Bosses have warned him this is his last chance and not to ruin it like he did last time.”;
Scotty joined the cast in 2012 for the fourth series.
He was on the show until 2018.
The reality star then returned in 2022 for series 18, 19 and 23.
Back in 2019 Scotty opened up to Flying Eze about his battle with drugs.
He booked himself into a rehab centre facility in 2017 and spent two weeks getting clean.
