Jay Gardner has ben embroiled in an identity 'mystery' on hit MTV show Catfish UK, after the Geordie Shore star struck up a relationship with some online, who wasn't who they claimed to be. And the investigation into who the person really was lead to a bombshell confession in Newcastle.

Given that he was one of the original cast members on Geordie Shore when it launched back in 2011 and his since returned to the programme for both its Big Birthday Battle and Reunion series, Tyneside lad Jay is no stranger to MTV, but his latest role for the channel saw him appear on camera in very different circumstances.

Having been a huge hit with audiences and across the world, Catfish made the switch to British soil a few years ago, as its presenters step in to help people found out the true identity of the individuals they've been talking to online. Jay got in touch with the show, having messaged a woman called 'Layla' a few years and ago become emotionally invested in their relationship.
