Geordie Shore bosses line up TWO huge spin-offs after cast re-shuffle
The MTV programme has been on-air since 2011 and has already seen two new spin-offs launched over the past year.

Now, it appears that channel execs are hoping to build on this success by launching two more.
Show stars Kyle Christie and Marnie Simpson will become the stars of their own mini-series as they both enter into new chapters in their personal lives.
As MTV and Paramount bosses are so happy with the footage they've shot for the new series of Geordie Shore, they've greenlit the two spin-off specials starring the pair.
A show source told The Sun: 'The first one will focus on Kyle's lavish wedding to his wife Vicky, which took place in Rome in June.
"It was initially going to feature in the main series itself, but there was so much drama from filming, producers couldn't squeeze it all into the regular run so they decided to build a special spin-off around it instead.
"There will also be a second spin off which will follow Marnie as she gives birth to her third child later this year.
"It's her first girl after having two sons and bosses wanted to capture all the magic and excitement as she and husband Casey welcome their little princess.'
The Sun has approached reps for Geordie Shore for comment.
Bosses kicked off their brand new spin-off strand, Geordie Stories, last year, with Charlotte Crosby being handed her own full-length spin-off show entitled, Charlotte's New Baby.
It followed her as she welcomed her second child, Pixi, with her partner Jake Ankers as well as continuing to grow her business and face the daily pressures of life in the public eye.

Just this week, Nathan Henry also launched his own solo show, Nathan & Dad, which followed him as he dealt with his dad's cancer diagnosis.
The next full-length series of Geordie Shore is expected to launch in January 2026 with the spin-offs likely to follow soon after.
The cast jetted off to Portugal last month to film the 26th series of the show and there was plenty of drama and shenanigans when the cast reunited and two familiar faces made a shocking comeback.
Original show star Gaz Beadle made a surprise comeback after years of shunning big-money offers to make a return.
Aaron Chalmers also headed out to the villa in Lisbon as he returned to filming for the first time in three years.
The next series of the programme will also see James Tindale and Ricci Guarnaccio come face-to-face after being locked in a heated feud with Ricci telling The Sun he planned to "annihilate him" on the next series.
Abbie Holborn will also be introducing her TOWIE star boyfriend, Jack Rigden, to the group as he makes his reality TV comeback after eight years.

In what is surely a first for the show, Sophie's husband sits at the bar as she goes on a date with a woman for the first time. Elsewhere in the room, Mike is a widowed dad looking for someone who understands his grief. And Derek and June are old romantics looking for a classic love story. Hollie Richardson 6.05pm, Channel 4 Even post-Brexit, Spain remains a favourite destination for Brits. This time, Sharon and Steve Garner are hunting for a property for Tracy and Graham in Almería. But the couple aren't on the same page. Can they both be satisfied within a relatively modest budget? For Graham, it will depend on the quality of nearby golf courses. Phil Harrison 7.30pm, BBC Two More mellow plant inspiration from the Beechgrove team, who are full of useful tips for wherever you garden (if you're not already tickling your tomatoes, you really should be …) As July begins, Calum harvests his potatoes and shallots, while Brian offers a guide to grass. Hannah J Davies 8pm, BBC Two Hedgehogs, chillies and homegrown dahlias all have their moment in the glorious sunshine this week, as Gardeners' World visits the RHS Hampton Court garden festival. We learn about how even small, urban gardens can support one of the UK's most endangered mammals and what kind of heat would motivate an Aberdeen couple to move south. Ellen E Jones 9pm, BBC One It's the night of the first of Oasis's reunion gigs and – along with most of us – ticketless Lee has Fomo (that's Fear of Missing Oasis). Instead of happily getting a takeaway and watching an old concert on YouTube, he blames Lucy for missing out and bitterly recalls the day spent in the cursed online ticket queue. HR 10.40pm, BBC One From sitcom writer Justin Spitzer (Scrubs, The Office, Superstore), this hospital mockumentary continues to deliver light laughs. The double bill starts with two prison inmates rushed in with injuries they gave to each other. Then, Joyce decides she wants to know more work gossip and find out who's dating who. HR White House Down, Friday, 9pm, E4 If you couldn't get enough of Heads of State on Amazon Prime, here's a film that must have at least partly inspired it. Although it suffered at the time from comparisons to Olympus Has Fallen – Gerard Butler's dour action film about a terrorist attack on the presidential residence – White House Down is a far lighter affair. Sure, the same things happen, but this has Channing Tatum instead of Butler, and he's intent on delivering all his lines with the biggest wink imaginable. This is an impossibly silly film and, if you're drunk enough, it forms a perfect double bill with Heads of State. Stuart Heritage

Shropshire's Alex Harris leaves roadie life to open music shop
Alex Harris could never have imagined a chance encounter with Slade guitarist Dave Hill would lead to 20 years as a roadie for some of rock's biggest despite working for the likes of Slade, The Waterboys and The Futureheads, he still had a dream to fulfil - to open a music now, back home in Shropshire, he has taken the step to unveil Big Al's Music Emporium, in Wem, stocking everything from Fender Stratocaster guitars to clarinet reeds and violin bows. "I've always had a dream of opening a shop," the 50-year-old said. Music has always been part of Mr Harris's life - his parents were semi-professional musicians who met in a Birmingham youth orchestra."My dad played trumpet, my mum played violin, so as a child I was always around music," he said."But I went down the rock and roll route." 'Roadie was unwell' After a stint in the Army playing the trumpet, Mr Harris returned home to it was while working in a Shifnal music shop for acclaimed guitar designer Jamie Davey, Mr Harris got the opportunity of a lifetime."Dave Hill, from Slade, was in the shop one day looking at guitars," he said. One of the band's roadies was unwell, and, needing someone to cover, Slade's lead guitarist asked whether he wanted to step in for him."I was like, 'Uh, yeah!'." After that first tour with Slade in December 1999, Mr Harris' career took off as a roadie and guitar technician. "From making contacts on the road, I ended up touring with [...] people like Midge Ure, The Waterboys, Howard Jones, The Futureheads," he eventually life on the road started to become too much, especially after getting married and becoming a father."I know too many guys who don't see their kids because they're always on tour around the world, and I didn't want that, I wanted to be a proper dad," he coming off the road having worked in the "high-pressure" events industry, the 50-year-old said that initially he was "feeling lost." 'Wide range of budgets' Opening his own shop was "always a dream" and his new venture seems to be serving the need he was left with having come off the Harris is keen to appeal to a wide range of budgets - not just top-drawer, pricey instruments, but pre-loved ones too. "I know that my local community in Shropshire can't necessarily afford thousands of pounds to spend on a guitar," he said. Despite the booming success of online shopping, the 50-year-old said he is not daunted by the prospect of competing with internet retailers."Your instrument needs to speak to you and feel right in your hands," he said. "If you buy an instrument off the internet, you do not know what you're getting.""You need to go to a place that's got several instruments you can try, and find what feels right for you." There are some first-day nerves, but Mr Harris feels confident he will be welcomed to Wem's high street with open arms. "The support and feedback I've had locally has been absolutely immense," he said."I'm crossing my fingers - as long as I can put fuel in my wife's car, take my daughter to school and put food on the table, that'll do!"
