He quit the show to focus on his relationship but Geordie Shore's James Tindale has revealed he wastes no time in getting to know one of the girls as he makes an unexpected return to the show as a single man.
It was in spring of 2011 that James, together with fellow like Vicky Pattison, Gaz Beadle, Charlotte Crosby and Holly Hagan, first catapulted into the TV spotlight in wild fashion.
After four years of loads of drinking and plenty of other things, quit the MTV show to focus on his relationship with then girlfriend Kate.
But the now 29-year-old from Consett, County Durham, will be back on our screens for Geordie Shore series 20 (yes there really have been that many!)
And he revealed to ChronicleLive that viewers will see him embrace his single status from the get-go.
"People will see a James they've never seen before!" he joked. "I literally went in the house with no f***s given with the aim of having a stress-free time.
"It was weird going back in single as obviously last time I left because I had a girlfriend on the outside. I can't say too much but there was a bit of romance...something actually happened on the first night i went in!
"I think people will be shocked - I'm a lot more confident now compared to when I was on Geordie Shore before."
To see who James gets close to as he enters the Geordie Shore house, tune into the new series which gets going on MTV on Tuesday, October 29.
