Sophie Kasaei was wary of Geordie Shore return

Sophie Kasaei was "absolutely s****ing" herself when she returned to ‘Geordie Shore’.
The 26-year-old beauty and a number of her former co-stars have gone back to the show which made them famous to mark its fifth birthday and she admits she was wary of returning to the infamous house alongside the current crop of housemates.
She said: "I was absolutely s****ing myself. The day I went in, my bumhole was literally so big that poo was going to come out.
"I was concerned about how I was going to look. I was like, ‘Am I going to look fat on TV again?’ The girls are looking amazing at the minute. I was concerned about my appearance."
And Sophie was particularly nervous about seeing her cousin Marnie Simpson.
She said: "Marnie Simpson was hard for me, because she is my cousin. The last time I was on the show, we argued a lot. It was hell."
Despite admitting it was "mayhem" in the house when she went back, Sophie – who has been running Geordie Tours for fans since leaving the show – is now keen to make a permanent return.
Asked if the experience made her want to go back long-term, she said: "Yes – 100 per cent. It’s like giving a baby a dummy and then taking it from them. I had a taste of what it’s like to be back."
But Sophie – who is in a relationship with Joel Corry – admitted it is hard to face the cameras after a night of partying.
She told star magazine: "Every day in ‘Geordie Shore’ was the worst hangover. When you wake up, there’s a camera in your face as soon as you open your eyes."
