The original stars of Geordie Shore may be settling down now – but their partying days aren’t over just yet. The MTV reality show is returning for its 25th series, with its chaotic cast taking over Thailand for Kyle Christie’s stag do.

“It felt more like the old days,” says Kyle, 32, who is marrying model Vicky Turner next summer. “We did the last series with people’s kids, but with all the drama, arguments and fallouts, this felt like old Geordie Shore. The only difference is we are now older.”

Sophie Kasaei adds, “We all live in different places in the country and have our own lives, so we haven’t seen each other in so long. It’s exciting.”

With Kyle tying the knot, best man James Tindale assembles a Geordie Shore group for the groom-to-be’s stag do in Thailand – including Scotty Timlin, who returns after two years.

“I loved being back,” admits Scotty, 36. “There were lots of us and it felt like yesterday, having fun with everyone we used to live with. I miss it every day.”

Meanwhile, Sophie joins Nathan Henry, Chloe Ferry and Abbie Holborn for a quick detour to Bangkok before joining the others on Koh Samui. Although, the 35-year-old wasn’t sure if she still had the stamina for sinking shots and nightclub shenanigans. “I was a bit apprehensive because I thought, ‘Am I going to be able to keep up? Will I be able to have late nights again and stay in the same bedroom as everyone?’” she says.
