It’s rather hard to believe that six years have now passed since Geordie Shore launched and immediately split opinion throughout the land.
North East politicians blasted the MTV show, famous for its drinking, partying and bed-hopping, for painting a dreadful picture of life in Newcastle, while viewers lapped up the antics of the original cast members who first made their mark by posing in a hot tub next to the Baltic for the series one press call.
Since first opening its doors in the spring of 2011, the Geordie Shore house, which has changed from being a plush terrace house in Jesmond to a converted warehouse in Byker, has welcomed hordes of self-confessed party animals, some making more of an impact than others.
As MTV gears up for the debut of series 16 we look at how each of the cast members past and present have fared both on and outside of the show.
Vicky Pattison
All the headlines about last year's MTV special Geordie Shore: Their Journey centered on the fact that the reigning Queen of the Jungle was back in the Geordie Shore fold.
While she wasn't seen in Tup Tup Palace downing jagerbombs, the show’s biggest star returned to the show to reflect on how much it’s changed her life.
As well as winning I’m A Celebrity, Vicky has had a number of successful endorsements, number one books, a chart-topping fitness DVD, appearances on fellow MTV show Ex on the Beach, her own nutrition, fashion and jewellery ranges ,hit solo show Judge Geordie, Loose Women and I'm A Celeb spin off Extra Camp.
And last year it was revealed that the Wallsend lass is now a millionaire.
Vicky is now head over heels with Newcastle businessman John Noble and announcement her engagement last year.
Charlotte Crosby
Charlotte's departure from the show last year, following a tragic ectopic pregnancy and break up with Gaz Beadle, stunned everyone.
The Sunderland lass first branched out from her MTV roots in 2013 when she won Celebrity Big Brother which then led to her getting her own TLC show The Charlotte Crosby Experience.
Like Vicky, the 25 year old has also tasted great success in both the realms of books and fashion with number one autobiographies Me, Me, Me and Brand New Me and clothing range for In the Style.
She is also a record breaking fitness guru with her first exercise DVD 3 Minute Belly Blitz becoming the UK’s fastest selling ever at the turn of 2015 and 3 Minute Bum Blitz following suit by also topping the charts.
She recently hosted Capital's Breakfast Show and was on our screens MTV in Just Tattoo of Us alongside her now ex boyfriend Stephen Bear, who happens to be Vicky's ex.
Gaz Beadle
Still very much part of the Geordie Shore fold, Gaz will be back on screen for series 14.
The self-proclaimed lothario has become famous for bedding scores of women but like his female counterparts he has tried his luck at other things.
He’s released autobiography Gaz (And My Parnsip), owns Pure Nightclub in Zante and opened clothing shop Project 722 in intu Metrocentre in 2012, although it’s since closed.
He made the news last year after being turned away from New Zealand after failing to meet necessary visa requirements.
Gaz now has a successful clothing range with Scott and Aaron and will star in a new run of Hell's Kitchen over in Australia where Geordie Shore is hugely popular and has recently starred in new MTV show Spring Break With Grandad, alongside his grandad Ray.
He is currently dating brunette beauty and model Emma McVeigh, with their baby son being born in January.
Scott Timlin
Better known as Scotty T, the 27 year old won Celebrity Big Brother early last year after going into the house as the red hot favourite with the bookies.
Like Gaz he’s known for being just a bit of a womaniser and like his mate he was also seen on Ex on The Beach, which saw him come face to face with his Newcastle ex-girlfriend Ashleigh Defty.
He appeared in pantomime last Christmas before his headline hitting departure and released autobiography A Shore Thing. He is set to return to screens in the new series of MTV's Just Tattoo of Us alongside Charlotte.
Holly Hagan
In a similar vein to Charlotte and Vicky, Middlesbrough-born Holly hasn’t been content with just starring on the show.
After a shaky start on the show, due to housemates freezing her out for “not being a proper Geordie,” Holly established herself as a firm favourite with her fellow cast members and the viewing public.
She landed at the top of the book charts with aptly titled autobiography Not Quite A Geordie, has appeared on the covers of both FHM and Nuts and has a popular fashion line for online retailers Lasula.
She even released a sing- a cover of Kelis' Milkshake.
Her departure at the end of last year was an emotional one for all involved which brings us onto...
Kyle Christie
Kyle revealed just before Christmas 2016 that he’d quit Geordie Shore to spend time with his family, following his grandad’s diagnosis with terminal cancer.
Kyle did however hint that he would be making a return to TV at some point and did so on two occasions, firstly for Big Birthday Battle and then for the summer series which was filmed abroad.
He was recently seen on Just Tattoo of Us alongside Holly, with her getting a huge tattoo of his face on her neck.
Which makes it all the more awkward that the couple have now called it quits with Holly saying they'll always stay close friends.
James Tindale
Although no longer part of the show, James appeared on Geordie Shore for 10 series in a row,
The Consett lad was one of the more calming influences in the house but did have the odd scuffle, including a very heated one with Gaz when the show filmed in Australia.
While the object of Holly’s affections for quite some time, James found love outside of the house with Kate Thorne and the two are bang into their fitness.
Qualified personal trainer James is an ambassador for Muscle Mix, has his own clothing line God’s Gift and has just launched his own gym - Gym Unique.
Ricci Guarnaccio
Vicky’s famous, or perhaps infamous, former fiance, former hairdresser Ricci came into the show in series 12 as a new housemate.
And while Vicky was in a relationship, the Durham lad definitely caught her eye and she eventually finished her then boyfriend Dan to be with him.
The pair’s courtship was fiery from the off so everyone was stunned when Ricci proposed during the Chaos in Cancun series.
While Vicky said yes the engagement didn’t last long and Ricci left the show to then go on Celebrity Big Brother.
At the start of 2015 he opened Sunderland nightspot Attico/Verve with ex co-star Jay Gardner but the duo sold the Green Terrace venue just seven weeks after its much hyped opening.
He has appeared on Celebrity Dinner Date and hit the headlines earlier this year when pictures of his weight gain went viral.
Jay Gardner
Moving onto Ricci’s one-time business partner in greater detail, Jay was part of Geordie Shore from day one.
Initially getting close with Vicky, Jay left the show to be with then girlfriend Chloe before returning and then leaving for good during series 7.
Aside from Attico/Verve, away from Geordie Shore Jay launched male fake tanning line Jay’s Tan but its last social media update was years ago.
He returned, much to the delight of his co-stars, for Big Birthday Battle in 2016.
Sophie Kasaei
South Shields girl Sophie left Geordie Shore in series 7 after reportedly being recorded making an offensive remark during filming.
Since then she has started up clothing businesses Off The Rails boutique and House of SHB and is also a party planner for Geordie Tours.
She is still firm friends with Charlotte and Holly, returned for Birthday Battle last year and is now back as a full time cast member.
Marnie Simpson
Sophie’s cousin immediately ruffled feathers in the house when she entered in 2013. Causing friction due to stirring trouble between the lads, Marnie did little to ingratiate herself to her fellow cast members to begin with.
She’s gradually gained their friendship and has had her fair share of headlines outside of the show. She reportedly cheated on her boyfriend with Ricky Rayment at the 2015 National Television Awards and by June was engaged to the former TOWIE star, only for the relationship to come to an abrupt end.
She finished fourth on Celebrity Big Brother last year when she met Lewis Bloor, who she was on and off with until she found out he cheated on her while she was in Newcastle filming series 14.
Marnie recently released autobiography Stripped Bare.
Greg Lake
Definitely holds the title as Geordie Shore’s most reserved housemate.
Well spoken Whitley Bay lad Greg struggled to fit in with the fake tan, gym obsessed, deep V T-shirt wearing ways off the fellow boys from the off. So it was little surprise he quit the show between filming of spin-off Magaluf Madness and series 2.
Greg has gone on to star in Irish reality show Celebrity Salon and is now most famous for dating Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe, with the two welcoming their first child this summer.
Rebecca Walker
Like Greg, outspoken Rebecca didn’t last long in the Geordie Shore house. Clashing with Vicky Pattison from the word go, Rebecca left the show after just one series.
The former Kenton School pupil has since traded in her jet black locks for a blonde do and has become a mum.
Dan Thomas
Still a regular on Newcastle’s party scene, often found in the likes of Bijoux, Dan has also partied and worked abroad spending summers in both Zante and Magaluf.
He is also an ambassador for workout company G’rilla Fitness, often posting on Twitter about their Burn Bullet product and was back on Geordie Shore for Big Birthday Battle.
Aaron Chalmers
About to be seen in series 14, Aaron joined the show as Gaz’s mate in 2014 and has enjoyed plenty of ‘will they, won’t they’ style flirting with Marnie.
Known for his abundance of tattoos, Aaron, was on screen in the last series of Ex on the Beach and has being doing rather well in the world of MMA fighting, with three wins now under his belt.
Chloe Ferry
The youngest of the current Geordie Shore crop, figure skater Chloe has been a massive ball of energy since coming into the series in 2015.
Famous for falling over a lot and falling for Scotty T, she’s became a popular characters with fans of the show.
Which made it all the more surprising that her stint in the last series of Celebrity Big Brother was a very brief one, with her being evicted after just a week.
She's become quite the entrepreneur though, tasting great success with lip line By Chloe Ferry, before going on Ex on the Beach.
Nathan Henry
Walked into the house with Chloe last year and after initially telling them he was bisexual, Nathan had a huge moment at the end of series 11 when he came out as gay to his fellow castmates.
And last year he emulated Kim Kardashian's headline hitting naked selfie.
Chantelle Connolly
A much talked about cast member from the get-go, Chantelle's time in the house was rather fiery so it was no surprise that her exit was too, when she left the show to return home to then boyfriend Tommy Sayers.
The two are no longer together and since their split the High Heaton lass was linked with fellow reality star Jem Lucy although things have definitely soured, with Chantelle tweeting 'If a dog can win Britains got talent then MAYBE jemma Lucy has a chance of winning @bbuk #dead'
Chantelle is currently the ambassador for a number of clothing brands.
Marty McKenna
The Newcastle lad arrived on the show with Chantelle at the end of 2015 after appearing on Ex on the Beach alongside ex Sarah Goodhart, who was one of the newcomers in series 14.
Like Chloe, Marty starred in the recent series of Ex on The Beach but it doesn't look like he'll be returning to Geordie Shore, after tweeting that he'd been sacked.
