Geordie Shore’s Gary Beadle had a vampire facial in preparation for the new series.
The 25-year-old hunk has followed in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian by trying out the disturbing beauty treatment – which involves injecting a patient’s own blood back into their face in a bid to treat wrinkles and rejuvenate the face – and he appears to be happy with the results.
He wrote on his Instagram account: "So tried 1 of them VAMPIRE FACIALS think my face was bleeding a lot more then yours Kim.. Ouch worth it tho….#dermaroller #freshface #sore (sic)."
The ladies man – who is known as ‘Gaz’ on the MTV reality show – should be looking radiant if he returns for the new series, as although the cast hasn’t been confirmed, it has been revealed that filming will begin next month and a source has claimed that Gary’s keen to look "better than ever".
The source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "[He] wants to make sure he’s not shown up by any young guns… keep his spot as number one ladies’ man."
Gaz’s co-stars Sophie Kasei and Vicky Pattison were both asked to leave the show last year – although they’ve admitted they’d like to return – but ‘Geordie Shore’ veterans Scot ‘Scotty T’ Timlin, Charlotte Crosby and Holly Hagan are favourites to return for series 8.
