Love Island’s Sam Gowland joins Geordie Shore cast

It seems Sam Gowland just can’t get enough of reality TV.

He spent the summer in the Love Island villa – and has now signed up for the next series of Geordie Shore.

During Sam’s stint on Love Island, Gaz Beadle started a campaign to get Sam on G-Shore, and his wish has been granted.

Pictures have emerged of Sam filming for the new series on a night out in Newcastle, alongside co-stars Sophie Kasaei and Chloe Ferry.

In some pics Sam is getting out of a taxi behind Sophie, and in others he is posing with Abbie Holborn and newbie Stephanie Snowden.

Apparently he’s already been spotted flirting with Abbie, who is one of the newer cast members.

A source told The Sun: “It was in the Soho Rooms in Newcastle. He [Sam] was partying and drinking with the cast - Marnie, Chloe, Nathan - and him and Abbie were flirting loads.

"It looks like they were about to get together 'cause they were getting really close."

Sam hinted that he might be swapping Love Island for the Toon back in July, tweeting: "Literally is best experience of my life #LoveIsland ... let's hope it's not too long before use see me back on the tele again eyy."

During his time on Love Island, Sam had flings with a few of the girls but none lasted very long. He began with a brief romance with Olivia Attwood, then had a couple of awkward kisses with Montana Brown. Soon after he was booted out of the villa with partner Chloe Crowhurst after the rest of the gang deemed them the most incompatible couple.

He returned though, and sparked up a romance with Georgia Harrison, which continued briefly after the pair left the villa. But soon after they split, and Georgia hinted to her followers that he’d cheated on her.
