It’s been nine years (yep, that’s right, NINE) since Geordie Shore first hit our screens, and while the likes of Chloe Ferry and Nathan Henry are still partying up a storm in the radgest house in Newcastle, some of the original cast members have moved on completely.

Gary Beadle recently became a dad of two following the birth of his daughter Primrose and Marnie Simpson gave birth to son Rox, her first child with boyfriend Casey Johnson, in November.

Meanwhile, Aaron Chalmers, who’s set to become a dad himself, is now a professional MMA fighter and Holly Hagan’s planning a wedding with her footballer fiancé Jacob Blyth.

We loved seeing the mature side to the Geordie Shore legends in spin-off show Geordie OGs so we’re super excited that the show is returning for a second series and it’s set to get even better as Sophie Kasaei is joining the cast.

Sophie’s set to join the show in the aftermath of her split with boyfriend of 10 months Jay Bigz.
