Eight years ago, MTV blessed audiences worldwide with the chaos that was eight 20-something British “lads and lasses” living under the same roof in Newcastle, England.

The O.G. cast, consisting of household names like Charlotte Grosby (29), Vicky Pattinson (31), Gaz Beadle (31), Holly Hagan (27) and James Tindale (29) were best known for their drinking, partying and “necking on”.

But if you’re British reality TV days are behind you and you’re no longer keeping up with ex-Geordie Shorestars on Instagram, you may be wondering: “Whatever happened to those wild Geordies?”

Here’s how five, season-one crowd favourites are tracking:

Charlotte Crosby: 2011-2016.

Charlotte Crosby entered the reality TV scene at 20 years old, quickly becoming known for her on-again/off-again relationship with fellow cast member, Gary Beadle, butGeordie Shorecertainly wasn't the last you'd see of her.

Charlotte went on to win Britain'sCelebrity Big Brotherin 2013, also guest-starring in season 2 ofEx on The Beach, where surprise, surprise, she joined Gaz.

Since leaving the show for good in 2o16, Charlotte has maintained a close relationship with MTV, presenting for shows includingJust Tattoo of UsandSingle AF.

Nowadays, Charlotte has her own MTV show, aptly named The Charlotte Show.

Her relationship with Gary has well-and-truly come to an end, and she's now datingLove Island UKstar, Joshua Ritchie.

After years of debauchery onGeordie Shore, 31-year-old Gary Beadle has left his party days behind him, as he's currently expecting his second child with girlfriend, Emma McVey.

Like Charlotte, Gary remains a strong TV personality, with appearances onEx on The Beach,Hell's Kitchen Australiaand most recently,Geordie Shore OG's, where he and other season one cast members reunited.

Gaz has a whopping 3.6m followers on Instagram and seems to have spent recent years settling into life as a dad and... promoting products on the side.

Vicky Pattison: 2011-2014.

Vicky Pattison was one of the first Geordie favourites to move on from the show, leaving for good in 2014.

Since then, she was engaged to John Noble before an emotional split in late 2018. Vicky opened up on Instagram at the time, saying:

"The worst thing is not the lies, the betrayal, the constant pain or crippling humiliation, or the resounding heartbreak that hurts so much I swear it is physical, not emotional, the worst thing is that the person who made you feel so special yesterday can make you feel so truly low and unwanted today."

Throughout her heartbreak though, Vicky filmed a candid documentary where she discussed the breakdown of their relationship which premiered on TLC earlier this year.

Vicky is now dating influencer Ercan Ramadan, and appeared onMasterchef UKthis year.

James Tindale: 2011-2016.

Just when you thought James Tindale was a name slowly fading from your memories... prepare yourselves, Tindale has revealed to MTV that he is looking to join the next season ofLove Island Australia.

"Getting to come over to Australia and live with loads of single girls? I would just be in my element," he said.

It was his co-star Holly's love for James that audiences remembered him best by, but James left the show in 2014 to focus on his relationship with his girlfriend of the time, Kate Thorne.

Only three months ago, James split with his long-term partner, leading to speculation that now is the time he will make his return to reality TV.

"...I haven't been single for a long time, so I'm making the most of it," he said in his interview with MTV.

Holly Hagan: 2011-2016.

Holly Hagan, the party girl who was arrested for assault during season 7 ofGeordie Shore, recently became engaged to soccer player Jacob Blythe.

"I believed for such a long time that I didn’t deserve to be loved, But I was so wrong. Jacob is everything I was told I didn’t deserve and more," she captioned her Instagram announcing the news.

"I never believed in happy endings but I guess I got mine."

Holly has also created her own cruelty-free, vegan makeup brand "Pretty Little Palettes," and looks to be thriving in life post-Geordie.
