Gary ‘Gaz’ Beadle’s co-stars think he should quit ‘Geordie Shore’.
The 29-year-old heartthrob has been a permanent fixture on the boozy MTV show since it first hit television screens in 2011 but his future is currently up in the air after he revealed he and his girlfriend Emma McVey are expecting their first child together.
And, although nothing has been confirmed as of yet, his friends Marnie Simpson and Nathan Henry think it’s wise for him to walk away from the series because it’s not fair on his partner to see him partying up a storm while she’s at home caring for their child.
Marnie, 25, told The Sun newspaper: "You can’t really be on ‘Geordie Shore’ – it’s not fair on Emma. I understand why he’d leave. He hasn’t actually confirmed. We didn’t know it was going on because him and Emma weren’t going out in the series."
Nathan, 26, added: "We don’t know what Gaz is doing yet.
"It would make sense for him to leave because he’s always wanted to be a dad. If he does go it’ll be sad. He’s the veteran – he’s the dad of the group."
Although his co-stars are keen for him to leave, bosses of the MTV programme are desperate for him to stay as they can’t see the show without him.
The insider said previously: "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."
