Geordie Shore legend in talks for I’m A Celebrity after reality show is axed
GEORDIE Shore’s Nathan Henry is in talks for I’m A Celebrity Australia.
The 32-year-old could be heading to South Africa, where filming takes place, in just a matter of weeks.
An insider said: “I’m A Celebrity is a huge opportunity for Nathan and he really wants to do the show.
“It looks very likely he will part of the final line up and it’s really a dream come true for him.
“It’s also perfect timing now Geordie Shore is winding down.”
Nathan would be following in the footsteps of Charlotte Crosby and Vicky Pattison who have both appeared on the hit show Down Under.
Geordie Shore has a huge fan base in Australia and Nathan has built up a big following there since joining the MTV show in 2015.
Earlier this year The Sun told how Geordie Shore has been axed after 12 years.
Insiders said television bosses are pulling the infamous MTV show amid plummeting ratings.
In recent years ratings have tumbled to barely over 100,000.
At its peak it was regularly pulling in more than one million viewers per episode.
The first-of-its-kind show documented a group of 20-somethings as they stumbled from bar to bar in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
The original cast included Charlotte, Gaz, Vicky, Jay Gardner, Holly Hagan, James Tindale, Greg Lake and Sophie Kasaei.
When it first aired the show caused a huge backlash, with Geordie Shore accused of glorifying binge-drinking.
Despite this, the series was a huge success and sparked spin offs including All Star Shore and the reunion shows
Vicky, 35, Charlotte, 32, and Gaz, 34, have all become millionaires thanks to countless lucrative brand deals and TV appearances off the back of their fame from the show.
Gaz has largely stepped back from the limelight to raise his two children Chester, five, and Primrose, three, with wife Emma Beadle.
However, Charlotte and Vicky are still regularly seen on TV.
As well as Geordie Shore, Nathan has appeared in numerous other reality shows, including Celebs Go Dating, Celebrity Ex On The Beach and The Challenge UK.
A rep for Nathan has been contacted for comment.
