Marnie Simpson reveals real reason Charlotte Crosby quit Geordie Shore forever after exp

GEORDIE Shore favourite Marnie Simpson has revealed the "real reason" why Charlotte Crosby quit the show "forever" after their explosive on-camera row.

Charlotte, who joined the show alongside her fiance Jake Ankers and their daughter Alba, quit the MTV series this summer after a series of rows with fellow cast members.

The new mum, 33, was then seen storming out after a fiery row with co-star Marnie over a highchair and insisted she had quit for good.

But Marnie, 31, has now addressed Charlotte's shock exit and revealed the truth behind why she reacted so badly - saying Charlotte may have been "battling some stuff internally that no one else was aware of".

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Marnie said: “I can’t speak for her, no one really knows what is going on in someone else's mind, but I think Jake [Ankers] was really struggling.

"I don’t think he enjoyed filming.

"I don’t think he enjoyed being away with everyone, I just think it was too much for him or maybe he wasn’t prepared for it.

"It is a hard thing to do if you’re not prepared, so I think that might have been on her mind."

Marnie continued: "And then she just had a baby, you know what it’s like when you’ve just had a baby, I know – I’ve had two.

"The first year, I think is really really tough, especially the first few months.

"So maybe she was battling some stuff herself internally that no one else was aware of, it’s just a shame that we were supposed to go away for a family friendly holiday, we were all supposed to have fun and it just didn’t turn out like that.”

When asked if she thinks Charlotte would ever return, Newcastle lass Marnie admitted that it would make her "look silly" if she decided to make a comeback but said the cast would "welcome her back with open arms".

"I think she would look silly if she ever did come back because of how much she said she’s said she’s not going to come back," Marnie told us.

"But the doors always open.

"The amount of Geordie’s that have left and come back, the list is endless.

"I mean if she ever came back, everyone would welcome her with open arms.

"We’d all be there, I’m always there to have a conversation, I would never not want to make amends, I’m a fair person, it is what it is.”

But Marnie made it clear that she would not be the first to reach out to Charlotte, despite her being open for reconciliation.

Marnie said: "Me and Charlotte don’t speak no, I don’t hold a grudge, I wish her all the best and if I see her walking down the street, I would say hello. But no I don’t speak.”

When asked if she misses her friendship with Charlotte, mum-of-two Marnie explained: “I’ve lived in London for seven or eight years, so I never really seen Charlotte that much, I used to talk to her a lot on social media and WhatsApp, but we weren’t heavily in each others lives.

"I think it’s a shame because the memories what we got, it’s a shame that we’ve lost the friendship but it is what it is.

"It doesn’t get us down, I’m not losing any sleep over it.

"I’m just focusing on the positive this year, I don’t want to focus on any negatives.

"I want to surround myself with people who uplift me and make me feel good and who want the best for us.”

When asked if she'd ever reach out first to make amends, Marnie insisted: “No never."

Charlotte flew home early from filming the upcoming series of Geordie Shore in Cyprus after a series of rows, and she and Marnie later unfollowed each other on social media.

Charlotte then broke down in tears earlier this month on her Always On podcast, revealing she had quit the show 'forever' and would not return.

She said: "It just ended up going so terribly wrong. I don't know why but the whole series, I later discovered, was a bit weird.
