Gaz Beadle has reportedly turned down an offer to return to Geordie Shore for its special upcoming 10-year anniversary series.

The 32-year-old was one of the original stars of the hit MTV reality series when it premiered in 2011, appearing alongside the likes of Vicky Pattison, Charlotte Crosby and Holly Hagan.

Beadle left the show in 2017 and is now engaged with two kids - and according to The Sun, he has told MTV that he is "too busy" to take part in the reunion series, which is reportedly being filmed in Colombia.

"MTV bosses will be fuming as Gaz owes his whole career to the show, so it's a bit cheeky to turn around and snub their big reunion," a source told the newspaper.

"Everyone else is excited to return for the show and where it all began, but Gaz has told people he's not interested: he's grown up and moved on.

"He's got two kids at home and businesses to run."

Beadle also recently quit the spinoff show Geordie Shore OGs, which follows the show's original stars in their daily lives since leaving the show.
