Popular cast member reveals she's 'permanently' left Geordie Shore
She's been on the show for five years!
The Geordie Shore cast have a history of leaving the show in a dramatic style and then returning a few series later, but it looks like popular cast member Marnie Simpson won't be returning anytime soon, as she's announced she's 'permanently' left the MTV reality show.
After weeks of speculation of her whereabouts as the cast film for the new series, Marnie took to her Twitter to clear up the rumours. Announcing she's decided to quit to the show after five years, Marnie explained she felt it was the time to 'move on'.
She wrote, 'For everyone keep asking I have in fact permanently left Geordie shore, it was just time to move on, it just wasn’t the same without everyone who left and I made the decision to leave, it was a wild 5 years and I’m really thankful I got to do it!' sic
After her announcement, fans of the former Celebrity Big Brother star were quick to express their disappointment that she's leaving, with some claiming the show isn't going to be the same without her.
Despite not stating it in her tweet, Marnie's decision to leave the show could be something to do with her boyfriend, former star of The X Factor Casey Johnson.
The pair have been dating for a year and on the current series of Geordie Shore, which is airing on MTV every Tuesday, Marnie and Casey's relationship takes a strain during her time in the house.
Despite this, the pair continue to post super loved up photos together on their social media pages. Earlier this week, Marnie shared a photo of the pair gazing into each other's eyes as she wrote, 'Just living our life to the very best we can 💫'.

Meanwhile, it isn't all bad news for Geordie Shore fans. Last month it was revealed that original cast member Holly Hagan would be returning for the brand new series which is being filmed out in Australia.
Reports suggested MTV bosses spent a lot of money to get Holly back on the show, so they'll be hoping she doesn't disappoint for series 16.
Holly announced she'd quit Geordie Shore back in 2016 after revealing the party lifestyle had a damaging effect on her life. Speaking at the time she said, "I have a breakdown every series, a complete mental breakdown. You put on fifty stone while you’re in there, you finish filming and your kidneys hurt from all the drinking, and you just feel horrible."
Although no official date for the 16th series of Geordie Shore has been announced, filming is now complete.
