Geordie Shore legend QUITS series after ‘growing apart’ from cast
GEORDIE Shore legend Bethan Kershaw has QUIT the series after ‘growing apart’ from the cast.
The 28-year-old joined the MTV programme for its 19th series in 2019.
After appearing on our screens for four series, the star has decided not to join the rest of the cast with the filming.
Bethan appeared in the reunion series last year, but fell out with co-star Chloe Ferry again around Christmas after they had made up during the reunion.
A show insider revealed: “Bethan made the decision that she didn’t want to go back for another series of Geordie Shore.
“She wasn’t sacked, it was her own choice – she just felt like she has grown apart from a lot of the cast and didn’t feel like she had a place among the group anymore.
“The show just isn’t the right fit for her at this moment in her life and she is looking forward to the next chapter.”
The Sun have contacted MTV and Bethan’s rep for comment.
Bethan and Chloe originally fell out after Chloe’s father passed away in 2021, with Chloe feeling like Bethan wasn’t there for her.
On the reunion series which aired last year, the pair appeared to put their differences aside.
Back in December, Bethan insisted the pair were “still friends” in a chat with The Sun, but that the trust between them needed to be rebuilt.
Bethan isn’t the only one not returning to Geordie Shore.
The Sun exclusively revealed earlier this month that Scotty T and Marty McKenna will not be in the next series.
A TV insider said: “Marty wasn’t asked back as he didn’t behave well while filming Celebs Go Dating last year, which is made by the same production company that makes Geordie Shore.
“Bosses weren’t impressed by his antics, so decided not to invite him back after the reunion.
“As for Scotty, fans had hoped he might become a permanent fixture on the show again after returning for the reunion, but producers feel like he is still very much a wild child and a party boy.
“That doesn’t really fit with the show’s new direction, which will have more of a grown-up, family vibe as a lot of the cast have kids now.
“They will be going on a big group holiday in the new series and a lot of them will likely have their children in tow, so it’s not going to be like the crazy days of old – this is a new chapter.”
When contacted by The Sun, MTV said: “Scotty and Marty will always be part of the MTV family.”
The spokesperson also denied the show is coming to an end, adding: “Geordie Shore has not been cancelled and continues to be one of MTV’s biggest shows. We can’t wait for fans to see what we have in store next season”
