They have been entertaining us since 2011 when they first burst onto our screens and now the Geordies are back for the 25th series of Geordie Shore. This time around the gang have flown out to Thailand to celebrate Kyle Christie's stag-do and one cast member who was said to be quitting last series has returned this season.
In the opening episode, which is now available to stream on Paramount+, James Tindale came back with his pals despite quitting for a new life in Dubai with girlfriend Leah Bowley. The last series ended with the pair being thrown a leaving party before they bid an emotional goodbye to their friends for their brand new life.
Clarifying his reason for coming back, James expressed: "Last time around my best mate Kyle threw the best leaving party I could ever ask for, the Wey Eye Dubai party, it was unbelievable. "But now I'm back. Dubai was amazing, me and Leah lived there for seven months. We went, we experienced it but after a while it did get a little bit lonely.
"But now Kyle's asked me to be his Geordie best man; he did such a good job planning my leaving party, it's only fair that I make his the best stag do in history.". James was a part of the original line-up of Geordies when the show first launched on MTV back in 2011.
After 10 series on the show, he decided to exit the series after prioritising his then-relationship and left his co-stars devastated. He returned in 2016 for a one-off series called Big Birthday Battle to celebrate five years of the show, which saw a lot of the cast reunite in the iconic house in Newcastle.
