Gary ‘Gaz’ Beadle is glad to be "irrelevant".
The former ‘Geordie Shore’ star – who quit the show after six years to focus on fatherhood when his partner Emma McVey gave birth to their son Chester 17 months ago – admitted he is loving life out of the public eye, and he is enjoying the chance to be himself with his family.
Responding to an Twitter troll who claimed Gaz only had "video game and babies" to keep him busy, he fired back: "If only u new how nice it felt to be irrelevant spent 7/8 years being a little puppet to management and tv producers…
"Being normal and having family is actually amazing… oh and not to mention the stuff I invested in all paid off so I can enjoy it.. but yer thanks (sic)"
Shortly after welcoming Chester into the world early last year Gaz, 31, admitted it will "never sink in" that he’s a father.
He said: "It’s just mad that there’s a little human. Honestly, it still feels weird. I don’t understand how you create this. I was hysterical. I’m responsible.
"I still ring my mam if I’m in a panic. I rely on that person even now, so it’s mad that I’m now that for him. It will never sink in, I don’t think."
And the former reality TV hunk admits before parenthood life felt "repetitive" because he’d just go out and get drunk with his pals.
On becoming a father, he said: "It’s not about you any more. I was excited to do something different.
"I thought, there’s got to be more to life than going out every weekend drinking, being hungover on Sundays and then going for some food with your mates in the week and planning a holiday. Life was so repetitive before Chester."
