The Geordie Shore star who ditched partying and reality TV for a quiet life in Leeds as a doting dad

He may be best known as the man who graced our TV screens on Geordie Shore, but Northumberland's Gaz Beadle has since traded reality TV for, well, reality. However, Gaz's reality may still be very, very different to ours.

As an original Geordie Shore cast member, Gaz was often seen partying it up on our screens between 2011 and 2017. His penchant for reality TV did not stop there though as, in 2015, he also appeared in MTV's Ex on the Beach and again the following year.

After leaving as a regular Geordie Shore cast member in 2017, he returned to his TV roots two years later to appear in the show's spinoff series, Geordie OGs. But his life could not look more different these days, having swapped the party life for family life.

The Geordie is now living it up in a modern mansion in Leeds and he documents his rather luxurious-looking day-to-day on Instagram. But, in between the posts featuring fancy cars and designer underwear, are a whole host of endearing photos featuring Gaz and his beautiful family.

These days, he shares his life with wife, Emma, and his kids, Chester and Primrose, along with a couple of four-legged canine companions. There are also a few expensive BMW's thrown into the mix for good measure.

His social feed is a perfectly curated mix of snaps that could certainly go on anyone's 'when I win the lottery' moodboard; you've got your expensive cars, big kitchen, high wood-beamed ceilings, massive TV screens...

And yet, it is not these things that take centre stage on Gaz's (very picturesque) Insta. It is the everyday and down-to-earth moments that he shares with his wife and kids that are the most prominent.

From he and Emma jointly attempting to get a floor sander to work, while renovating their new house; to a perfectly British day out with the kids, feeding the ducks and swans at the local park. The former reality star has certainly shown that he thrives when it comes to being husband and dad.

And Gaz is even keeping his followers entertained by simply doing the washing. Yep, he has shown his fans that - like many long-suffering wives and partners out there - Emma has had to teach him how to put on a load.

The 34-year-old could well be every bit your average neighbour next door, if you take away the fact that he certainly doesn't live in an average house. There are pics of him and Chester at the Toby Carvery, Father's Day videos of the kids at the park, throwback portraits to he and Emma's wedding and pictures of the family happily settling into their new home.

And some of his cutest posts are him teaching the little ones how to play golf, which is a part of his newest venture: Improving his own game. Gaz is every bit the doting dad and it is clear that he is absolutely living for it.

In fact, he summed it up perfectly himself in a post featuring a family trip to the park. Sharing adorable snaps of him and Primrose eating ice cream and feeding the swans, Gaz said: "Traded hangovers for early morning parks and ice cream".
