Sophie Kasaei, 35, has done a dramatic u-turn and returned to Geordie Shore, just weeks after quitting in a pay row, with her team having come to a resolution.
The Sun understands the pay dispute was resolved after eleventh-hour talks with bosses.
A source revealed: "Execs were determined to keep Sophie in the show and didn't want to lose her.
"After some last minute meetings with her team, they managed to secure a deal everyone was happy with.

"Sophie and her boyfriend Jordan Brook missed the beginning of filming as the majority of the cast jetted out to Portugal last week, but they stunned the cast over the weekend when they turned up to surprise everyone."
The Sun has contacted MTV for comment.
This comes after The Sun exclusively revealed that Sophie left the show after not being given the pay rise she'd been seeking.

But despite negotiations Sophie left because her team failed to agree with the show on a pay rise.
A source told The Sun: 'Sophie had been in discussions about a pay rise with MTV for months, but in the end, they couldn't agree on a figure.

"Sophie decided to walk away as she felt she was worth more than they were offering - she has been on the show for a long time and brings a lot to the table.
"There was a lot of back and forth, and in the end, negotiations stalled.
"Sophie was gutted as she was really keen to come back, but she doesn't want to undersell herself.'
Just mere days ago, a fellow Geordie Shore star seemingly made a veiled dig at Sophie and the way in which she left the show.
Making light of the reason behind her exit, a fellow Geordie Shore star didn't hold back.
Without mentioning Sophie by name, Holly Hagan said on TikTok: "Nobody's better than anything just because they are or aren't on something.
"Everyone's got their reasons for doing personal things. This show is so much fun. I love being on it.
"I love being able to come away and just have a laugh, and let loose and make some good TV."
She added: "Last time I wasn't really participating as much just because I had an 11-month at home, and it made me really nervous about leaving him, and i wasn't really involved in much of the drama.
"Guys, I literally got to have a free holiday and got paid for it. I'm never not going to do this while it's still going.
"I'll still be there unless something really dramatic happens and I need to leave."

Meghan won't take orders from anyone – that's why her brand's in chaos & it's all her own fault, expert slams
ROYAL experts have slammed Meghan Markle, claiming her inability to take orders is behind the chaos surrounding her brand. The Duchess of Sussex's brand, As ever, is taking a short break after selling out all its items in just 45 minutes, according to Meghan. Advertisement 1 The Duchess of Sussex revealed on a podcast that her brand is taking a short break to restock Credit: Netflix However, experts claim the quick sellout highlights chaos behind the brand, suggesting there weren't enough products to meet demand. The Sun's former Royal Correspondent and author Charles Rae said: "I'm not a businessman, but I would have thought that if you were setting up a new company, you would have enough products on the shelves or whatever is kept to satisfy the demand." Shoppers snapped up £10 jam and £22 honey from Meghan's brand — though it's unclear how many sold before the products were declared out of stock. Royal experts believe that the lack of clarity from the brand stems from the Duchess "not wanting to take orders from anyone". Advertisement read more on royals "My view is that it is mainly, I would say, 90 per cent Megan who's running," said Charles. He added: "Who's running the show, because this is a woman who does not want to take orders from anybody." Royal Correspondent Sarah Hewson agreed and said: "She doesn't want to let go. "And I guess, you know, she is putting her name to it. But yes, it has been chaotic. " Advertisement Most read in Royals The Duchess of Sussex has promised her As Ever goods will be back in stock this month - alongside "a few new things we can't wait to show you". The about-turn came hours after she was heard telling Beyonce's mother she had decided to "just pause" until completely ready. Meghan couldn't get Beyonce so settled for her mum… but even a global star couldn't save As Ever, expert slams Meghan appeared on her own podcast on Tuesday, recorded in May, telling Tina Knowles she feared annoying customers when the first batch of her jam and herbal teas sold out in less than an hour. She said wanted to wait until it is "completely stable and we have everything we need". Advertisement Meghan has since shared a photo of jam-making preparations including bowls of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and freshly squeezed lemons, on her Instagram stories, writing: "'June gloom?' Not over here! Because this month your favourite products are back." Her official AsEver account also posted: "To all who've been wondering and waiting, thank you! "Your favorites are returning, plus a few NEW things we can't wait to show you. Coming this excited!" The Duchess's bonus Confessions Of A Female Founder episode with Knowles was recorded on May 5, the day before Prince Archie's sixth birthday.

Love Island contestant quits show hours after cast reveal for ‘personal reasons' following arrest revelation
Ashman, 23, a water operative from Stafford, was among the original cast members set to appear on the reality dating series, which returns to ITV2 on Monday, June 9. However, the broadcaster has since removed him from the show following the emergence of a past incident. 'For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island villa as planned', ITV said in a statement. According to reports, Ashman was previously arrested in connection with a violent incident earlier this year. The Sun claims the arrest was linked to a machete attack that occurred in February at a wake in Stafford, during which several people were injured. One man reportedly sustained near life-changing injuries to his arm, while others were attacked with a glass, a metal pole, and a car. Ashman was released without charge and has denied any involvement. In a statement, he said: 'I fully cooperated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. 'I am not a violent person, and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.' ITV is understood to have been unaware of Ashman's arrest prior to the show's cast reveal. The decision to remove him was made after the incident was flagged to producers by The Sun. ADVERTISEMENT Deadline also reported that no contestants had entered the Mallorca villa at the time ITV made its decision and the show's format remains unaffected. Love Island is set to return for its twelfth summer series on Monday, with Maya Jama once again leading the show as host. This marks Jama's fourth time presenting the main series, having become the face of the ITV2 dating show in 2022. In addition to the flagship summer edition, she has also hosted both of the franchise's All Stars spin-offs, which aired in January over the past two years and were filmed in South Africa.
