Marnie Simpson wants to buy a house in Essex.
The ‘Geordie Shore’ star – who was born and raised in South Shields, North East England – has only been dating her new beau Lewis Bloor since August but things seem to be moving fast between them as she’s planning to splash the cash on a plush abode in his home town in South East England.
Writing in her column for Star magazine, she said: "I’m meeting a mortgage adviser soon because I’m thinking of buying my first house – in Essex. It will be nice to be close to Lewis and I’ve always wanted to move down South."
And, although her longtime enemy Vicky Pattison has also just bought a house in Essex, the 24-year-old beauty doesn’t think she’ll cross paths with the brunette beauty.
She explained: "Essex is a good location. I know Vicky lives there now, but it’s a big place and I doubt that we’ll cross paths. We certainly won’t be hanging out as friends."
However, for now, Marnie has agreed to join the ‘Geordie Shore’ house alongside her ex-boyfriend Aaron Chalmers.
She said: "I can’t wait to go back into ‘Geordie Shore’. I’ll miss Lewis, but if we’re the real deal, we’ll get through this and I’m confident we will.
"I hope living with Aaron won’t be awkward. I bumped into his recently and ran away! I know he’ll try to get with new girls to p*** me off but it won’t work. We’ll be fine after a few days."
