Ricci Guarnaccio and Vicky Pattison were the great Geordie Shore love story that was just not meant to be.
Despite a relationship that was… let's say… up and down, Ricci proposed to Vicky via a message on a plane, and she said yes!

But not for long. The pair split up and Ricci was sent packing from the Geordie Shore house.
Fans of the couple (it couldn't just have been us, right?) had high hopes that the two would, if not get back together, at least be able to hug it out after appearing on Ex On The Beach together.
It was not meant to be.
Vicky was not happy to see Ricci and swilled him, shouted at him, and generally made his life pretty unpleasant.
But even we didn't realise quite how bad it was for Ricci on the show.

"Nah, no way. I've been there once and never again," Ricci told heat when we asked if he'd do a Gary Beadle and return to the show.
"I got told the show was called The Summer Of Love. I didn’t know my ex was going to be there so you can imagine how bad it was when I arrived.
"I was locking my bedroom door at night because I was that scared.
"It was just hell."
So, not a warm, fuzzy experience then?

"I'm glad I did it because it got to show a lot of the true sides of what actually went on…
"But I was there four days and it felt like a lifetime."
Fair to say we won't be seeing Ricci back in Ex On The Beach soon, although can you imagine if his alleged ex Sheridan Smith turned up? OMG.
But here who is rumoured to be taking part in this summer's show.

Gaz Beadle is more of a dead cert than a rumour TBH.
