In a story that could quite easily be made into a TV show, Sam Gowland has shed his reality star roots to taste huge success after leaving Geordie Shore.
Sam first found TV fame on Love Island in 2017, when he was briefly coupled up with eventual finalist Olivia Attwood before her relationship with Chris Hughes.
But it was on Newcastle-based Geordie Shore that Sam really made his mark on TV, when he was snapped up by producers months after leaving Love Island, to swap a Majorcan villa for the infamous Tyneside party pad.
