Gary ‘Gaz’ Beadle will quit ‘Geordie Shore’ this year.
The 29-year-old hunk has been a major fixture on the boozy reality TV show since 2011, but he has decided to turn his back on the series now that he and his girlfriend Emma McVey are expecting their first child, which is due early next year, together.
A source told The Sun Online: "Gary is leaving ‘Geordie Shore’ this year.
"He’s taking fatherhood really seriously, being a dad is all he’s ever wanted and he wants to spend all his time with Emma and their baby."
But bosses of the MTV programme are desperate to change his mind as they can’t see the show without him and are trying to coax him back with guest appearances.
The insider explained: "They have offered him the opportunity to make guest appearances in series 16 – who knows whether he will or not – but producers are frantically trying to keep him on the show somehow.
"As far as everyone is concerned it won’t be ‘Geordie Shore’ without him."
Meanwhile, Gaz and Emma announced they were expecting a little one last night (22.08.17) on their social networking sites and, although they remained tight lipped at the time, the heartthrob later claimed that he knows whether they’re having a little boy or girl but he won’t reveal it until he’s ready, which may be in a "few days or weeks."
Taking to his Snapchat account, he said: "It means so much, all the messages on Instagram and Twitter. I’m going to be a dad, honestly I could not be more excited. I can’t wait, I’m ready for it, I’m so excited. I love kids. I always have and I feel like this is the right time. I thought I’d be scared but I’m not. Also quick one… I know the sex of the baby, and I’m not going to tell any of yous [sic]! "I’m sure this is going to be an eventful next year, winter… whenever it’s due."
