Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson pregnant after worrying 'alcohol abuse' left her infertile

Geordie Shore star Marnie Simpson has revealed she's pregnant with her first baby.

Marnie and her boyfriend of two and a half years, Casey Johnson, 23, are expecting their new arrival on October 16 this year.

The pair announced the news in OK! Magazine and Marnie said she always worried about conceiving because of the amount of alcohol she drank during her time on the show.

Marnie said: "Because I’d done Geordie Shore I’d convinced myself that I couldn’t have kids because of all the alcohol abuse.

"I’m really nervous about the birth, I can’t even talk about it, I get so scared.

"I’ll make sure I’ve got some lip gloss and eyeliner. I don’t want to be a mess!"

Casey, who rose to fame on The X Factor in 2014 as a part of boy bad Stereo Kicks, said he was excited about being a father.

He said: "I don’t think you’re ever ready until it happens, but we’re so excited. It feels amazing."
