Geordie Shore has returned to our screens for its 25th series – and according to the cast it is the ‘most explosive series ever’.
The season, which has already aired its first two episodes on MTV and Paramount+, see the stars travel to Thailand to celebrate Kyle Christie’s stag-do.
And while many fans thought that series 24 – which saw fan favourite Charlotte Crosby quit the show for good – couldn’t be beaten, it sounds like this season definitely will.
During an exclusive chat with MailOnline, stars Ricci Guarnaccio, 38, Nathan Henry, 33, and Chantelle Connelly, 35, teased exactly what to expect.
Opening up about what happened between the boys, Ricci said: ‘There’s a lot more going on with the lads this time, than the girls.
‘You can tell… by what MTV are dropping that it’s a lot more lad-orientated, the time before in Cyprus, it was the girls.
There is plenty of drama between the lads in the new series of Geordie Shore

‘I don’t think you could ever imagine the bust-ups and the drama between the lads that happened in this series.
‘It’s never happened ever – even from the days when I first in it as well with Gaz and Jay. It’s probably the biggest bust-up.’
He added: ‘There’s a lot more stuff going on with the lads this time that you wouldn’t expect ever and it’s throughout as well.’
When talking about the rows, without giving too much away, Nathan teased: ‘Who were the rows not between?
‘You’ve got to think, we have all been doing this for ages and we’re all big personalities, we’re all big egos.
‘So when you put all them in a villa and it’s hot, you’re drinking, you’re away from your families, there is always clashes, there always is.’
And so much so that the arguments that happened made a bit of a frosty atmosphere in the villa.
‘It was quite separated – there was a divide,’ Chantelle told us. ‘A massive divide in the house, you’ll see it.’
There have been plenty of physical fights in the Geordie Shore house since it premiered in 2010

When asked if security had to ever get involved during the series, Chantelle said: ‘Oh God yes!’
Nathan chimed in during the conversation: ‘Did security get involved?!’
‘Yeah – of course they did!,’ Chantelle told him during the exclusive chat at the show’s launch party at Thai Square in London on Tuesday.
Nathan told us: ‘Oh yes they did!’
He continued: ‘Security know the right time. Security know us all very well, so they can let us get to the brink of like the point – which is good for TV.
‘And then they know when each and every single one of us is going to go over that point and they step in straight away, so they’re always on hand.’
Chantelle then explained one of the main reasons why the arguments usually happen – and it’s because of booze.
The star said: ‘You’ve got to remember there is drink involved.

Sophie opted for a classy black dress with diamonds
‘I think with security, it’s always worse when there’s drinking involved.
‘I’m a crazy b***h when there’s drink involved, but I think they do step in but it’s only because of the show they have to. but nothing would really happen.
‘They definitely stepped in a good few times.’
Season 24 of Geordie Shore premiered in January last year.
It saw Abbie Holborn, Chantelle Connelly, Charlotte Crosby, Chloe Ferry, Holly Hagan, James Tindale, Jay Gardiner, Kyle Christie, Marnie Simpson, Nathan Henry and Sophie Kasaei travel to Cyrpus with their partners and kids.
There was a huge row between Marnie and Charlotte over Coco Pops being left on a high chair.
The two, along with Kyle, were living together with their families in a villa together – and the clutter became too much for Charlotte and fiance Jake Ankers.
Season 24 sees everyone return apart from Charlotte.
Tuesday’s launch party had a star-studded guest list, with the likes of Megan Barton-Hanson, MAFS star Nathan Campbell and Towie’s Ella-Rae Wise in attendance.
Katie Price was seen kissing her best pal Kerry Katona before posing with her boyfriend JJ Slater at the bash.
Meanwhile her son Junior Andre, 19, cosied up with his glamorous girlfriend Jasmine Orr, 24.
Star of the show Chloe Ferry looked incredible in a tight skin leopard print dress as she giggled away on the way home from the event.
