Geordie Shore being 'turned into dating show' as cast search for love

Geordie Shore is reportedly being turned into a dating show for its new series as cast members look for love.

Last month the MTV show turned 10, having first burst onto our screens to a shed load of controversy back in May 2011.

The Newcastle-based series made instant stars of the likes of Gaz Beadle, Vicky Pattison and Charlotte Crosby and, while all three of them have since quit the show and are now in happy relationships, there are plenty of current Geordie Shore stars still searching for the one.

And insiders claim that they will get the chance to find romance in the new series which will be called Geordie Shore: A Shot At Love.

While still shot on Tyneside, MailOnline reports series will take on a very different format to usual as the likes of Abbie Holborn, James Tindale and Nathan Henry get the opportunity to go on dates with each cast member given 10 potential love matches which they will need to whittle down to three to join them in the house.

An insider told MailOnline: "Geordie Shore has been in desperate need of freshening up and bosses feel turning the format into a dating show will do just that.

'It means there will be many more new faces thrown into the mix who are bound to cause some arguments and make great TV."

Several of the cast have been very public with the fact they were starting filming again this week, with Abbie, James Nathan and recent new addition to the cast, Louis Shaw, all telling their many Instagram followers how excited they were to be finishing their time in isolation.

Bethan Kershaw also revealed she was about to start filming and, while co-star and best mate Chloe Ferry told her she'd miss her and "see her in three weeks," it's being reported that Chloe will also been involved.

Rather surprisingly, series 21 newcomer, former X Factor finalist Amelia Lily, is also said to be featuring, despite rumours she'd quit earlier this year.

She has been gigging as part of S Club 3 and is due on screen in the new series of Celebrity Karaoke Club.

Amelia has been absent from Instagram since the start of the month which could mean she is fuming with the rest of the Geordie Shore cast.

Fellow series 21 newbie Anthony Kennedy has also been inactive on his account.
