Ricci Guarnaccio may have found fame on Geordie Shore but he's now stepping out solo with his own reality TV show and starts filming this weekend.
The reality star has put his television career on the back burner in recent years and focused on his life as a DJ and music producer.
But now, the 36-year-old is gearing up to head back into nightclubs and be in front of the camera for a special project which will see him perform across the UK.
Ricci who left Geordie Shore in 2022 having returned following a six-year hiatus exclusively told The Mirror of his excitement.
He said: "I'm ecstatic to finally have my own show PopWorld TV, this is what we all dream about when getting into the reality world.
"To now be showcasing what I do and hosting my own show is the best feeling ever and I can't wait to kick off my tour in Derby this coming Saturday.
"For everyone who is going to be coming to the party, it's their chance to be in front of the camera and be the stars.
"I've been all over the world doing shows, movies & public appearances but this feeling is something else."
He went on to add: "DJing and performing for everyone is what I love to do, this is the perfect fit for me – I am absolutely buzzing!"
Ricci will start his UK tour on Saturday in Derby before travelling to cities including Leeds, Chester and Birmingham as he showcases his musical skills in packed nightclubs.
Each episode will see the Celebrity Big Brother star appear alongside another famous face as well as members of the public testing their skills behind the DJ decks.
But while Ricci was once found being filmed in nightclubs as he took to the dancefloor, the hitmaker who has released tracks including Gotta Let You Go and Never Be Without Your Love previously admitted that his hectic schedule was too much for him.
Speaking to the Daily Star last year, he explained: "When I came back from Australia, I did just under 80 PAs over there and I was run ragged.
"I was overweight because I'd been travelling, I did Ex After Dark with MTV, I did a movie, I was run ragged for an entire.
"We [my management] and I sat down and I was like 'I can't continue to do that year in, year out, my body was knackered, even though I made a fortune, it was unviable moving forward."
