Who is Louis Shaw on Geordie Shore? Yorkshire lad ruffles feathers on Newcastle show

He might hail from over 100 miles away from Newcastle but Yorkshire lad Louis Shaw certainly has made his presence felt on Geordie Shore.

The 23-year-old is one of three new cast members for the 21st series of the hit MTV show alongside Gateshead MMA fighter Ant Kennedy and former X Factor finalist Amelia Lily.

Like Amelia, Louis isn't from Tyneside, his broad Yorkshire accent gives that away! He headed up to Newcastle from Barnsley to film the show at the end of last year and wasted no time in ruffling some feathers.

The first few episodes of Geordie Shore's new series saw Ant grow close to long standing cast member Chloe Ferry but he was pushed aside after Louis' arrival as Chloe took a real shine to him.

And in the latest episode things look to get heated between the two lads as Chloe changes her mind again, leading to a bit of spat that will play out in full on MTV on Tuesday night.

If you think Louis looks a bit familiar he appeared on MTV on another show last year - True Love or True Lies - which he won.

Speaking to Chronicle Live about how he ended up on Geordie Shore and how he'd react to any criticism about him not being from Newcastle, he said: "You'd probably expect me to be be very nervous, anxious, worrying if they'd accept me, but I actually weren't. I were massively excited; I were ready to kick the door in to be honest."

He also boasted that he drank his Geordie cast mates 'under the table' during filming.
