MTV bosses have hit back at reports that Geordie Shore has been axed after 12 years on screen, saying that fans have a lot to look forward to from the next series.
It was back in 2011 that the Newcastle set reality show made its much talked abut debut, with locals and Tyneside MPs accusing the cast of showing the city in a bad light thanks to their heavy drinking and wild antics.
However,. despite the immediate backlash to Geordie Shore it quickly became a huge hit with viewers, giving MTV UK its biggest ever ratings smash and emulating the success of American equivalent Jersey Shore. The programme shot the likes of Gaz Beadle, Charlotte Crosby, Vicky Pattison and Holly Hagan to overnight fame, with a number of the original cast now established millionaires, as well as going on to have success on other TV shows like Celebrity Big Brother and I'm A Celebrity.
