Who is Gaz Beadle? Meet this year’s Ex On The Beach star

Gary Beadle aka ‘GAZ’ is best known for his leading role in the Geordie Shore series, but this isn’t his first time gracing the beach.

So what do we know about the Geordie lad?

How old is he?

Gaz is 27, making him the oldest male on the beach alongside Liam Lewis.

Where is he from?

As expected, the Geordie Shore star is from Newcastle.

Although he has recently been spending an increasing amount of time down under.

Where have we seen him before?

Gaz originally shot to fame being part of the original Geordie Shore crew.

However we have also seen him on Ex On The Beach series 2, Celebrity Wedding Planner and as part of the ‘Dreamboys’ tour.

Is he single?

As far as we know – yes.

Gaz has had a long running on/off relationship with Geordie Shore co-star Charlotte Crosby.

However the relationship turned sour as filming for ex on the beach series 5 began.

Charlotte Crosby experienced an ectopic pregnancy whilst Gary was abroad, and was heartbroken when she heard what he had been up to.

Pal Marnie, currently appearing in this summer’s Celebrity Big Brother, has vowed to stand by Charlotte, saying she will not watch EOTB to respect ‘girl code’.

Gaz was also in a long term relationship with Lillie Gregg, another contestant on this year’s show.

What can we expect?

If his previous on screen behaviour is anything to go by, we can expect lots of bedroom antics from Gaz.

In the previous series of Ex On The Beach, Gaz bedded contestant Anita, however things only lasted 2 weeks after the show ended.

He also starred alongside co-star and ex girlfriend Charlotte Crosby, however the two just remained friends throughout the show.

Who is his ex?

His ex is fashion designer Lillie Gregg, who is also due to make an appearance this series so keep your eyes peeled.

Ex on the Beach returns on Tuesday, August 16 at 10pm on MTV.
