Legendary reality show is returning but with a twist, confirms Ricci Guarnaccio
GEORDIE Shore star Ricci Guarnaccio has confirmed that the hit MTV has been saved from cancellation.
The 36-year-old, who is now a popular music producer, revealed the old gang would continue filming after the success of the reunion show.
But it won’t be Geordie Shore as we know it – instead the group will be filming each series in different locations around the world.
Ricci tells The Sun: “I think we are going to be going to different places around the world, see where we end up.
“For me now, it’s the journey, seeing how long we can do it for, making memories together. Having a show go on nearly 13 years is crazy. It’s great to see all the fans watch it.”
Ricci rose to fame on the MTV reality show in 2012 and first left after series five.
He later returned in 2016 and again for the recent reunion and filmed with the group in Cyprus earlier this year.
“We came back last year for the reunion and they have kept all the OGs back,” Ricci explains.
“It’s great having all the OGs back, for me now it’s a journey. It’s what gave me my career. I am always thankful to MTV. I have a great working relationship with them between here and Australia.
“I enjoy doing Geordie Shore now. It was pretty tough with Vicky back in the day.”
Ricci was famously dating Vicky Pattison on the show and even proposed to her on it.
But it wasn’t plain sailing. He says: “Between me and her, we did Ex On The Beach together, it was a pretty rough ride for the pair of us and everyone in the house. It was one of the strongest storylines in the house.
“It was pretty brutal. In a sense, it’s given us both great careers out of it, weirdly.”
This time round is very different though: “I’m not in that volatile relationship, 24/7 kicking off at each other.
“It’s great filming this time round because you have got the newbies in there who I didn’t originally film with, your Chloes, Nathans and Abbies, which I think brings different personalities to it which I think you need.
“Back in the day there was only eight of us and as much as we are all big personalities we all left to do different things and have come back together.”
He adds: “The show has grown. We are all at different points at our lives. It’s a lot more enjoyable now.”
