With an estimated net worth of around £2million, a recently renovated £1million mansion and multiple businesses to her name, it’s safe to say that Charlotte Crosby is one of the most successful reality stars of all time.
Ten years after she first rose to fame on Geordie Shore, Charlotte’s career is still going strong after winning Celebrity Big Brother and working on MTV programmes Just Tattoo of Us and The Charlotte Show. She's even just completed a UK-wide tour of her One Night With Charlotte live show.
Charlotte recently opened up about the reason she’s been so successful in a video on her YouTube channel and the answer is NOT what we expected.
In the video, the reality star reacted to “mean tweets” that had been posted about her on social media including one which read, “I’m sorry but Charlotte Crosby’s house is unreal, she’s made all this from sh-tting, p-ssing and shagging on TV.”
Although the social media user had been trying to shame her, a defiant Charlotte hit back and insisted that her wild behaviour on Geordie Shore was the secret to her success.
She said, “F--k me, I did well for myself didn't I? Though I never sh-t myself on TV.”

Holly gives Gaz a kiss on the penis
18-year-old Holly Hagan literally ran into the Geordie Shore house, excited to spend her teenage years exploring what the 'adult world' was really like and she really did get stuck in. It wasn't long into the first series before Gary Beadle had got out his penis, which Holly decided she wanted to kiss. Random, we know. Since then, Holly has dished the dirt on that encounter, after Gary said his penis resembled a "Sky remote control." Speaking to heat, she revealed, "It's not that big really."

Sophie's 'chlamydia' moment
How could we have forgotten this? After Sophie Kasaei got into a relationship with DJ Joel Corry, it wasn't long before she started to miss her beau. But when he surprised her by visiting the house, Sophie whisked Joel to the bedroom after a night out for some alone time and it seemed like Sophie was really enjoying herself. Cue one of the most iconic moments in Geordie Shore history. Sophie decided to show how much she was enjoying herself by seductively saying, "Chlamydia", in Joel's ear.

Vicky spits in Jay's face
As series one progressed, the first house romance had been ignited between Vicky Pattison and Jay Gardner, with the pair deciding to share a room from day one. It looked like things were going swimmingly, until the pair got into a huge fight and ended up calling off their short-lived romance. In the midst of the fighting, Vicky then spat her drink in Jay's face, leaving him fuming. Vicky has since called her behaviour "disgusting and unnecessary."

Holly dumps Dan outside a sofa shop in a retail park
It seems like a long time ago but Holly actually entered the Geordie Shore house with a boyfriend called Dan. However, their relationship soon broke down and Holly wanted to dump her lover. Obviously, in true reality TV style, the cameras followed Holly as she headed to end the relationship, filming her arguing with Dan then dumping him outside a sofa shop in a retail park. Ouch.
![Charlotte weeing on Gaz](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5d9c/707c/cf37/170b/798a/0b08/charlotte-gary.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Charlotte weeing on Gaz
Ever since Charlotte Crosby and Gary got together, they were the ultimate Geordie Shore couple. Whilst they broke up more times than we've had hot dinners, they were firm fan favourites from the beginning. So after Charlotte and Gary had done the deed in Ricci Guarnaccio's nana's bed (so many questions), Charlotte farted to stop the awkwardness between the pair. Noting Gary's utter disgust, Charlotte found it all so funny that she just starting weeing…all over him, the bed and herself.
![Vicky and Ricci get engaged](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5d9c/7230/cf37/1749/1d8a/0b38/vicky-ricci.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Vicky and Ricci get engaged
After Ricci entered the house in series 2, he swept Vicky off her feet, despite her having a boyfriend at the time. However, she eventually finished with him to be with Ricci, who eventually popped the question during the show's Chaos in Cancun series. This was much to the surprise of everyone, as their relationship was extremely fiery. The engagement was short-lived, with the pair calling it off months after and Ricci then left the show to go on Celebrity Big Brother.

Ricky proposes to Marnie
And from one Ricky to the next, can you remember when ex-TOWIE star Ricky Rayment proposed to Marnie Simpson on the show? Again, this was a huge surprise to viewers, as the pair had only been officially dating for six months. Their engagement also didn't last long, with the pair splitting three months later.
![Charlotte and Marnie's fight](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5d9c/824b/cf37/1787/f08a/0dbc/charlotte-marnie.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Charlotte and Marnie's fight
There's been plenty of fights over the years in the Geordie Shore house but this one takes top place. The fight between the two firecrackers broke out after Marnie stirred the pot after kissing Chloe Ferry's beau Marty McKenna. Obviously, Chloe went pure radge because she'd already 'bucked' him and then Charlotte got involved, leading to security having to pull them all apart. Charlotte then called Marnie "a big flirty slag with really long confusing hair." Savage.

Aaron tells Marnie he loves her
Marnie and Aaron Chalmers' relationship was very on and off, with the pair loving each other one minute then ripping each others heads off the next. Can you remember when they got caught having sex in a factory's kitchen? But it seemed like it was true love for the pair, as after going back and forth, Aaron finally admitted he loved Marnie. Yet, it took him a while to get there as before he said those precious three words, he responded to Marnie admitting her love for him by responding, "I like your hair." Awkward.

When Nathan wee'd on the stairs
It shouldn't have been hilarious but it was. One of our iconic moments was when Nathan Henry decided he needed to have a wee and couldn't hold it in so wee'd on the stairs. And if this wasn't funny enough, Chloe and Sam Gowland then ran up the stairs not knowing what he had done and fell into his luke warm piss. Lovely.

Chloe fighting a tree
Ever since Chloe burst onto our screens, her wild personality has made her a firm fan favourite, as well as all the questionable things she does whilst filming. However, this has to be one of her funniest moments when she started a fight with a tree because she believed the tree 'wanted to fight'. You simply cannot write these things.
![Chloe sent home after starting on Zahida](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5d9c/a4b7/cf37/176d/2a8a/1321/zahida-chloe.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Chloe sent home after starting on Zahida
In one of the show's most recent series, the OG castmates saw around 10 new faces turn up at the house, after their boss Anna wanted to employ some new workers. However, with new faces comes new drama and new girl Zahida Allen got frisky with Marty in the back of a taxi. What Zahida didn't realise was how volatile Chloe and Marty's on-off relationship was and their late night antics sent Chloe wild, and she attacked Zahida, having to be pulled apart by security. Chloe was booted from the show but returned later on in the series.

Scotty T’s threesome gets interrupted
Scotty T thought he was going to have the night of his life when he brought home two women for a threesome... on a waterbed. However, he instead got summoned out of his bed to speak with Gaz for a deep convo. Better luck next time Scott.

Back of the taxi orgy
When you thought you'd seen it all, you really hadn't until this moment. An orgy in the back of a taxi. TV gold. After the crew had been partying wild in the town centre, they were all heading back home to the Geordie Shore house. Bored, and very drunk, one of the cast members suggesting having an orgy, which they all were keen on (except Chloe who's alseep at the back). Marnie and Scotty T get carried away and passionately kiss, leaving Aaron fuming and he leaves the house.
![Chloe goes plant pot crazy](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5d9c/b12a/cf37/174a/8c8a/14ee/chloe-nathan.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
Chloe goes plant pot crazy
How can we forget Nathan deciding he wants a calm and peaceful bath to then be rudely awakened by a drunk Chloe raiding the bathroom with only one thing in sight - the plants. As she goes plant pot crazy, she swings the pot around with dirt going aboloutely everywhere, turning the clean bathroom into a soiled mess.
![The Abbie, Chloe and Sam love triange](https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5d9c/b269/cf37/1769/888a/150f/abbie-sam.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80)
The Abbie, Chloe and Sam love triangle
Abbie Holburn kept it no secret that she fancied Sam when former Love Islander turned up as one of the new cast members. However, Chloe also had her eyes set on the hunky lad, meaning they found themselves at logger heads. After the pair fought it out over several episodes, Sam decided to pick Chloe as they were more similar, leaving Abbie upset.

Charlotte also claimed that she had never actually, ahem, soiled herself on TV as the scenes were too outrageous to be aired. She explained, “The one time I did, it wasn't allowed to be shown. Poo apparently isn't allowed to be shown on a TV show unless it's about something medical.
“Seeing as Geordie Shore wasn't Holby City, we weren't actually allowed to show the time I sh-t my pants in Mexico.”
Charlotte admitted doesn’t have any regrets over her boozy antics though as she continued, “I took a chance, I took a risk and it all prevailed. Actually, if I had only just have done them things and stopped my career at Geordie Shore, I would not be sat in this house today. I'd have a nice house, but it wouldn't be like this.
“The p-ssing and sh-tting themselves was the first stepping stone into the humongous sea of success."
WATCH Charlotte Crosby's last Google search was... HERSELF! 🙈😬
Charlotte, who split from boyfriend Liam Beaumont earlier this year, recently sparked rumours she was romantically involved with her former Geordie Shore co-star Scotty T after she shared a snap of them cuddling up together on Instagram.
Alongside a photo of them looking very cosy in a hammock, Charlotte wrote, ““Hammock chills this afternoon with my fave @scottgshore”.
Fans were quick to share their hopes for a relationship between the pair, with one writing, “This would be the coupling we’d all have been waiting for!!!!!”
Another added, “Him holding your hand and hair like that 🙌❤️,” while a third commented, “I hope these are together ❤️❤️❤️.”
Neither Charlotte nor Scotty have spoken out about the rumours but it wouldn’t be the first time the pair have got up close and personal as they drunkenly tashed on when he first joined the cast of the MTV show back in 2012.
