CHARLOTTE Crosby has spoken out for the first time about how she REALLY feels about the TikTok video edits of her and her Geordie Shore ex Gaz Beadle – and why she will show them to her kids.
The 35-year-old sky rocked to fame after appearing as one of the original cast members of the MTV show alongside Vicky Pattison, Holly Hagan-Blythe and Sophie Kasaei. But fans of the show fell in love with Charlotte and Gaz’s will they/won’t they five year relationship.

There are nearly 21million video edits on the social media site showing an emotional Charlotte telling him that she loves him and she always has adding: “I feel like I’ve always liked you more than you liked me. I was someone to pass the time with while he waited for someone else.”
Even Love Island finalist Yas Pettett has admitted she has become obsessed with watching them.
Charlotte, who has two young daughters, Alba, three and one year old Pixie with fiance Jake Ankers reveals: “Everyone who has been on a reality show is haunted by all of the videos like look at Lauren Goodger and Mark Wright. It’s never going to die is it? It’s always going to be there in the archives. It doesn’t show up on my algorithm, which I’m glad about.
“Geordie Shore was literally like Friends. People love rewatching it but I do hope in about 10 years, when my kids are older, it’ll be completely forgotten about and it’s not all people think of us now.

“Hopefully they think of me with my beautiful children and my partner that I’m about to marry. And I hope they’ll never sit down and watch it fully. They’ll just see the iconic clips.”
Charlotte quit the show in June 2016 following a traumatic ectopic pregnancy.
She discovered while recovering that Gaz, who was the father, had cheated on her while filming reality show Ex On The Beach.
Charlotte has been with businessman Jake since 2021, announcing her engagement in November 2023 while Gaz, 38, who once boasted about sleeping with 1,000 women, claimed to be a reformed man after meeting his first wife Emma McVey.

They married Cheshire in 2021 before the pair split in 2023 after eight years together.
They have son Chester, eight and daughter, Primrose, six together.He recently announced that he is set to become a father again as his partner Maia Ellen, who is 13 years his junior, is pregnant with a baby girl.
While it’s clear they have both moved on, Charlotte says she is going to use the heartwrenching viral clips to help educate her daughters on how deal with their dating woes when they are older.
“All these archive clips, I try to look at with a postive head so when I was younger growing up my mam would try and say stuff to us when I was going through heartbreak.
“I remember with my very first boyfriend, she said ‘Come on Charlotte, it’s honestly going to be ok. He wasn’t the one for you.’ I was thinking ‘she doesn’t understand’. We all think that when we are younger we think our mams don’t understand.
“When Alba is going through her first heartbreak and thinking her mam knows nothing, I can say, ‘Listen I’ve been through it. I can show you some videos. They went viral. I’ve cried over the person who wasn’t right for me. I’ve cried over many people who weren’t right for me.” she admitted.
“I’m the perfect example of: ‘You need to leave this person, they are not good for you. And look how it ended for me. I met the right person, I met your dad. Look at us now. We’ve been together for 30 years because he is the right one. I am living proof. I’ve got the t-shirt. you can all wear it!’”
And would she ever go back to Geordie Shore?
“Never again,” she says adamantly.
“I don’t even want to be associated with that name anymore. I’ve just grown so far past it. I went back to the reunion when I had Alba and that was the biggest mistake of my whole entire life. I’ve totally changed.
“Becoming a mam was such a transformative thing for me. It’s weird watching them try and get mortal still in their 40s. I’m not in my 20s anymore, I barely even drink now. It leaves me riddled with mam guilt. I’d rather do things with my kids than be lying in bed hungover.”
