Charlotte Crosby becomes Geordie Shore boss in major MTV shake-up after 'quitting' show

Despite declaring she was 'done' with the show, after quitting filming last year, Charlotte Crosby is now back on Geordie Shore in a very different capacity, having been promoted to boss.

Charlotte was one of the first people inside the doors of the original Geordie Shore house, when the show launched to a lot of attention on MTV in the spring of 2011, joining the likes of Vicky Pattison, James Tindale and ex Gaz Beadle on screen. Her first stint on the programme ended in 2016, after she suffered a devastating ectopic pregnancy and was involved in a huge fallout with Gaz.

The Sunderland star returned to the fold in 2022, playing a key role in getting many cast members past and present together for the the big Geordie Shore reunion party in Newcastle, before heading off to Portugal on a group holiday. The cast headed overseas again last year, with Charlotte jetting off to Cyprus with other half Jake Ankers and the couple's baby Alba, only for their time on camera to be cut short after Charlotte got into a heated row with Marnie Simpson.

Appearing on friend and co-star Sophie Kasaei's podcast, Charlotte said she was 'done' with being on the show, commenting: "I'm out for good, I am. You heard it here first, I'm gone for good. That's my Geordie Shore done." However, in a shock turn of events, the ex Celebrity Big Brother winner has now landed the role of boss in the Aussie version of the show.

After teasing she was busy filming something special in Australia, Charlotte let the cat out the bag on Instagram, telling fans: "The secrets out! And I am absolutely DIZZY with POWER. Who ever put me in charge of 10 of THE CRAZIEST Aussies I’ve ever met needs a pay rise LOL because this is the most chaotic concoction there’s ever been!"

"I’m still having to pinch myself in here in Australia my most favourite place on earth and I AM THE BOSS! I’m the Aussie version of ANNA! LMAO."

Charlotte added: "It’s felt soooooo nostalgic being here for the beginning of what I know is gunna be a HUGE Shore adventure!!!! Watching these guys enter the house gave me all the feels! I know how they all feel! I know the nerves the excitement! And to be able to be at the very start of another EPIC shore journey but this time as the woman IN CHARGE ! It’s a full circle moment!""

In her early days on Geordie Shore, Charlotte and her co-stars were kept in line by 'boss' and local businesswoman Anna Parkin, who as well as sending them overseas, had them doing all sorts of jobs on home turf, including dressing up in all manner of costumes to advertise things in Newcastle, be butlers in the buff and host parties.
