Just Tattoo Of Us gets a US version with Jersey Shore’s Snooki taking over hosting duties from Charlotte Crosby
The loud-mouthed reality star, 30, will be joined by actor Nico Torterella, 30, as brave American duos take to the tattooist's chair for some more surprise inkings
JUST Tattoo Of Us is heading to the United States and will be presented by Jersey Shore star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.
The pint-sized reality star, 30, will be joined by actor Nico Tortorella, 30, with the pair becoming the US versions of Charlotte Crosby and Joshua Ritchie - who recently replaced Scotty T.
Given the go ahead by MTV in April, the show will follow the same format as its UK counterpart.
Snooki is currently starring in Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, the wildly popular reunion of the original cast.
Meanwhile back in the UK Scotty T has been kicked off Just Tattoo Of Us and replaced by Charlotte’s boyfriend Joshua Ritchie.
The Sun Online revealed how 28-year-old Charlotte put Joshua forward for the job, after giving her last ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear the boot from the hit MTV series.
Scotty, who re-joined Geordie Shore for this series, is said to have taken the news well and was happy for Joshua to step into his shoes.
An insider told The Sun Online: “Charlotte rules the roost at Just Tattoo Of Us and when she suggested working with Josh on the next series, bosses were keen.
“He’s a good looking lad and they’ve got great chemistry so they’ll work well on screen.
“Some of Charlotte’s friends are worried it could end in tears though. When she worked with Stephen on the show it was too much with them working together and being in a relationship.
“But Charlotte is adamant they make the perfect partnership.”
The Sun Online contacted MTV for comment.
In November 2017, we confirmed Scotty would be taking over from Stephen after Charlotte dumped him.
The news came just days after Scotty confirmed he’s re-joined the cast of Geordie Shore.
Scotty was brought on board by MTV bosses as Anna’s sidekick, with our sources revealing he was in charge of organising the boozy parties.
He had previously been sacked from the show after his wild partying started to affect filming.
A source added: “Anna, who we know is in charge of the house, has brought Scotty in to work as a boss alongside her.
