Geordie Shore originals are BACK as MTV confirms reunion show with Charlotte Crosby, Holly Hagan and Marnie Simpson
GEORDIE Shore originals are BACK for an explosive reunion show - with telly favourites Charlotte Crosby and Holly Hagan.
Charlotte - who announced last week that she is pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Jake Ankers - will return for a special series with a host of familiar faces.
The mum-to-be will be joined by best pal Holly, Sophie Kasaei and Marnie Simpson as they set off on a mission to organise the biggest Geordie Shore reunion yet.
The series, which is expected to film in an exotic locale of Colombia, is hoping to get thirty cast members who have starred in the show over the years.
The likes of Scotty T and Chloe Ferry have also signed on the dotted line already, but producers want all the originals involved.
The hit MTV show, which first aired in 2011, will focus on what is currently going on in each of the cast members life today.

From Holly's long-awaited wedding, to the arrival of Marnie’s baby, and of course, a huge party in the Geordie Shore house.
However, The Sun exclusively revealed that Vicky Pattison, Gaz Beadle and Greg Lake are holding out despite the "massive payday" on offer.
This comes as desperate bosses are offering them TRIPLE what they would usually earn for the show in a last-ditch bid to secure key names.
"MTV bosses want all the original cast to be part of the reunion special, and they are doing everything they can to make that happen," says our insider.

"They're so desperate, they are even offering to triple the salaries they normally offer to ensure a massive payday.
The problem is, Vicky, Gaz and Greg still aren't committing. They feel they have moved on from the series.
"They have even offered to reduce the amount of filming days the cast have to do in order to make it seem like the most attractive proposition. It's basically less work for more money."
An MTV spokesperson said: "We don’t comment on rumour or speculation".
Last month, The Sun reported that the reunion special was on thin ice after filming was postponed.
The cast didn't fly to Colombia as planned as filming dates were shelved, but production insisted they had simply been moved.
This left many of the stars concerned that the show may not go ahead at all.
The Sun learnt that much of the chaos was caused by rows over filming, quarantine stipulations and phones.
A mole revealed: “There have been issues around Colombia and the cast have been rowing with producers over quarantine stipulations and having to have their phones taken away.
“The ten year anniversary was meant to be a massive celebration but it’s just turned into an almighty headache.
“Right now no one knows if they’re coming or going.”
A TV insider insisted the show would be going ahead and said: “While filming is postponed for the moment, MTV is still planning to do it- and when it does happen they expect it to be absolutely epic.
