Scotty T, the beloved reality star, is making his grand return to the show that catapulted him to fame - Geordie Shore. After a brief absence following his departure in 2018, fans of the 36-year-old can rejoice as he struts back onto our screens. Known by his real name Scott Timlin, the charming star rose to fame after his win on Celebrity Big Brother. However, his success was short-lived as he was soon axed from his main job and declared bankrupt just a year later. But, it seems like things are finally turning around for Scotty T as he prepares to join the cast of Geordie Shore, which this time will be filmed in the beautiful Thailand. Wey aye pet!
We can expect to see Scotty T's comeback during Kylie Christie's stag do, as the group gears up for a wild night in Bangkok and an outrageous stag party in Koh Samui. However, the show's synopsis has teased us with the return of the original fan-favorite - Turbo T (also known as Scotty T)! Can the Land of Smiles heal the wounds and reunite this family? And, how will the current cast react to Scotty T's reappearance after such a long hiatus? These are the questions that have got us all eagerly waiting for the new season.
But, before we dive into the excitement of Scotty T's comeback, let's take a trip down memory lane and relive the rise and fall of the Geordie Shore legend. Bursting onto our screens in 2012, on the fourth series of Geordie Shore, Scotty T quickly became known for his love of pulling and getting "mortal" (extremely drunk) in the Toon (Newcastle). In the show's opening sequence, he confidently declares, "Get me in this place because I'm going to tear the place up!" And, tear it up, he did. With his charming personality and his ability to charm women in the nightclubs, Scotty T soon became a household name. He even had a brief fling with some of his co-stars, including Marnie Simpson and Holly Hagan, who once famously said, "So we're drunk and we're in bed and Scott's c**k accidentally falls into my mouth."
But, Scotty T's fame didn't just limit itself to the show. He quickly became a popular figure in the world of reality TV, making appearances at nightclubs all across the country, earning up to £3000 per night, performing with the Dreamboys, starring in pantomimes and even making a cameo in Neighbours. However, his biggest achievement came in 2016 when he won the hearts of the nation and the grand prize on Celebrity Big Brother. This was also the season that gave us iconic moments such as Angie Bowie's "David's dead," Tiffany Pollard's "They were old maiden type of shoes," and Megan McKenna's "Let me in there." Scotty T, although not known for any memorable lines, won the hearts of the audience with his friendly nature and even had a will-they-won't-they storyline with Megan before her eviction. Upon winning the show, he modestly said to host Emma Willis, "I honestly can't believe it. I need a drink and I need to know what's going on."
Scotty T's rise to fame was not without its struggles. In 2017, he checked himself into a rehab facility in Scotland after falling into a "lifestyle" of drugs and partying. However, he admitted that upon leaving the facility, he "started going mad again." This ultimately led to his axing from Geordie Shore in January 2018, allegedly due to being pictured taking drugs. Scotty T opened up about his battle with drugs, revealing that he used cocaine every day to cope with his anxiety and grief after the death of his stepfather and four close friends. "I've been to the brink and managed to pull myself back again, but it's been horrendous," he shared.
To add to his struggles, Scotty T was declared personally bankrupt in 2019 after his company, Scotty T Ltd, went bust the year before. The UK government even banned him from running a business. However, he has since bounced back and now earns a living as an influencer. But, in 2021, he received a reprimand from the Advertising Standards Agency for not clearly disclosing when he is advertising to consumers. He remains on their list of non-compliant social media influencers. In 2020, he also started posting explicit content on OnlyFans.
After a brief return as the housemates' boss in 2019 and a reunion party in 2022, Scotty T is making a proper comeback to Geordie Shore for the latest series. This news has surprised the current cast members, who never expected to see him again. In the past, Scotty T had teased that he could "treble the ratings" if invited back, and we can't wait to see if his prediction comes true! He also tested the waters earlier this year by competing on Channel 4's Celeb Cooking School, where a Michelin starred chef taught him how to cook. Sadly, he was eliminated first, with Blu Hydrangea taking home the trophy. Geordie Shore is available to watch only on Paramount+ UK and MTV, and the 25th series is expected to air later this year. So, buckle up, because Scotty T is back and ready to take us on another wild ride.
