The 34-year-old is fronting an emotional documentary about him and his dad Glen, who is currently living with a stage 4 cancer diagnosis.
Called Geordie Stories: Nathan and Dad, the docuseries will follow the TV star as he embarks on a life-changing journey with his father Glen, who is living with terminal cancer.
The four-part series will offer "a rare and emotional look at black father-son relationships through a lens of vulnerability, heritage and identity," according to the show description.
"Audiences will follow Nathan and Glen to Jamaica, Glen's birthplace, as they reconnect with family roots and open up about masculinity, illness and LGBTQ+ acceptance in Caribbean culture."
The series will air on MTV and Paramount Plus, with an exact release date yet to be confirmed.
The announcement of the docuseries came just hours after Nathan celebrated the end of filming for season 26 of Geordie Shore.
Nathan took to Instagram to post a carousel of cast photos, as they posed by a luxurious villa in Cascais, Portugal.
"& that's a wrap 🎬-Series 26 done and dusted," Nathan captioned the post.
A TV insider previously told The Sun about Nathan's new show: 'The documentary will look how they are navigating life as father and son, as well as parent and caregiver .
'The programme will be very moving as it chronicles Glen's battle, and it will also explore themes of identity, sexuality, mental health, race and father/ son relationships.'
Geordie Shore star Nathan Henry explains why he's keeping boyfriend of two years a 'secret' and would 'lose his job' if he came on the show
They continued: 'Although it will take an unflinching look at the pair as they navigate challenging times, the show is also uplifting as well as hard-hitting, and will be a celebration of life.'
Last year, Nathan updated his legion of followers about his dad's cancer diagnosis, and shared a carousel of images with him.
He also broke down in tears during filming for Geordie Shore, as he told the cameras: 'Bangkok is a massive distraction and that's exactly what I need right now. Since last time, my dad has been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and it has been a tough time for all of my family."
Nathan continued: 'When I found out, I didn't know how to react, I didn't know what to do, I just went numb and I kind of shut down. It's only recently that I've actually started to process things."

Cancer screenings in England
CATCHING cancer early gives you the best chance of survival, and a huge part of that is attending regular screenings.
NHS programmes can help diagnose the disease, or your risk of it, and improve the likelihood of successful treatment.
There are three national screening programmes in England: cervical screening, breast screening and bowel screening.
"If you are eligible, please make every effort to have your screening test as they can detect a problem early, before you have any symptoms. ," the NHS says.
"Finding out about a problem early can mean that treatment is more effective."
Cervical screening
This is offered in England to people with a cervix aged 25 to 64 and is routinely carried out every three years up to the age of 49, and every five from 50 to 64.
Depending on the result, people may be recalled earlier.
During a cervical screening, samples are tested for high risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which causes nearly all cervical cancers.
Those that test positive are then analysed further.
Breast screening
Breast screenings, which involve an X-ray test called a mammogram that can spot cancers when they are too small to see or feel, are usually offered to women aged 50 to 71 in England.
But the NHS is trialling them for women under 50 if they have a high risk of developing breast cancer.
Bowel screening
This test detects whether patients are showing any early signs of cancer.
It is available to everyone aged 50 to 74, with at-home kits automatically sent out every two years, so make sure your GP has your correct address.
The test involves providing a small poo sample to be checked for tiny amounts of blood, which could be caused by cancer.
If you're 75 or over, you can ask for a kit every two years by phoning the free bowel cancer screening helpline on 0800 707 60 60.

New Amy Bradley leads emerge following new Netflix doc 27 years after her disappearance from cruise ship
THE producer of the hit Netflix documentary about a missing woman who vanished on a family cruise more than 27 years ago says they have received new tips related to her case. Amy Lynn Bradley vanished without a trace in March 1998 after boarding the Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas with her parents, Ron and Iva, and her younger brother Brad. 6 6 6 The family trip began in Puerto Rico and first stopped in Aruba. Just three days into the trip, on March 23, Amy disappeared after spending the night socializing and dancing at the ship's nightclub until the early hours of the morning. She was last seen asleep on the balcony in the family's shared cabin, but no evidence suggests she fell or jumped from the railing. When her father woke up, he couldn't find his daughter and alerted the ship's security crew, but they found no sign of her, and cameras failed to capture any last movements. The case has gripped the true crime community for years, and alleged witnesses speak out in the documentary to suggest she may have been sex-trafficked. She was last seen dancing with a bass player who was performing with a band on the trip, Alister Douglas, whose nickname was "Yellow," although he has always maintained his innocence. His daughter, Amica, suspects her father was involved in Amy's disappearance and is seen in the three-part Netflix series grilling him during a tense phone call, in which he insists he has nothing to hide. Filmmaker Ari Mark, who worked with fellow producer Phil Lott on the series, spoke exclusively to The U.S. Sun after it became a Top 10 show on the streamer. He said, "[We're] very pleased with very pleased with how the series has been received. The 'buzz' around the show is incredible. "That's what we want. The more people that know Amy's story - the better." Asked if the team had received any possible leads since its release that have been passed on to police or the FBI, he said they had, but they don't want to get their hopes up just yet. "We have had a few leads come in, but I can't discuss them and they're not verified yet, so they may very likely be false leads," he said, as they can get hoax calls, or people getting information wrong. "This was always about one thing: finding Amy," he went on. "But to ensure that the audience is activated, they have to want to help. "To use Iva Bradley's words, they are 'over the moon' that Amy's story is finally getting this level of attention. Everyone in the world now knows her name. "I prefer to believe that Amy is alive. But there's so little tangible official 'evidence' in this case that it's impossible to know. "So much gray area, especially when it comes to timelines. "Remember, no cell phones and virtually no cameras, so we really can't track people's whereabouts, which means we can't take anything as fact." SEX WORKER MYSTERY One of the aspects only briefly touched on in the documentary is how the family's cabin was cleaned before the police were able to look for evidence and deem it a potential crime scene. Mark admitted the cleaner's identity remains unknown, and it is unclear whether a small table on the balcony could have been moved closer to the railing. Her sandals were placed side by side, and a t-shirt was lying on the arm of the chair she'd been sitting on, while her cigarettes were missing, and only an ashtray remained on the table. "Allegedly, 'cruise security' was responsible for questioning their crew," Mark said. He added that they did search for evidence that Amy had jumped or fallen into the water, saying, "They absolutely looked and came up with nothing. "They did find Amy's fingerprints around the cabin, but the whole family's fingerprints were all over the room, so it wasn't really 'evidence.'" One of the most shocking parts of the documentary saw experts review photographs published on a sex worker website years later that showed a woman clad in lingerie. The woman had strikingly similar features to Amy, and her family said they fear it could be her years on. Asked his opinion on the legitimacy of the photographs, Mark said, "I really don't know. We tend to air on the side of something happened to her vs accident. "One thing we do know with missing person cases is that there usually is some elusive piece of evidence out there, but the universe needs to align to bring that thing or person forward." FBI REWARD Asked about the theory that Douglas could have been involved in her disappearance, Mark confirmed his lie detector test was "inconclusive" despite reports he passed, but he was cleared by police. Mark simply said, "I feel awful for the Douglas family and what they've had to endure all these years." Does he have any advice for anyone who has information but is terrified to come forward? He said, "I would say to them: look at this family. Look at the pain this has caused. And look at the millions of people that want to help. "That has to be enough for someone to muster the courage to speak out." He added that Amy's family is "understandably shattered and lives in a constant state of not knowing." Mark added, "Gaining their trust has been a journey, but their warmth, sense of family, and strength has been something that everyone who worked on this show has admired and rallied behind." Timeline of Amy Lynn Bradley's last hours before her disappearance March 23, 1998, evening Amy Lynn Bradley and her brother, Brad, attended a dance party at the ship's disco, where they were seen with members of the ship's band. The ship was sailing from Aruba to Curaçao. March 24, 1998, 3:35 a.m. Brad Bradley returned to the family cabin, followed five minutes later by Amy, after a night of dancing and drinking. They sat on the balcony and talked before Brad went to sleep. March 24, 1998, 5:15 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. Amy's father, Ron Bradley, woke up briefly and saw Amy asleep on a lounge chair on their cabin's balcony. This is the last confirmed sighting of her by her family. March 24, 1998, 5:30 a.m. to 5:45 a.m. Three witnesses later claimed to have seen Amy on an upper deck of the ship with Alister "Yellow" Douglas, a member of the ship's band, and said he was seen leaving alone shortly after 6 a.m. March 24, 1998, 6:00 a.m. When Ron Bradley woke up again, Amy was no longer on the balcony, but her shoes were still in the cabin, and her cigarettes and lighter were missing. He began to search the ship for her. March 24, 1998, 6:30 a.m. The family reported Amy missing to the ship's crew and asked that passengers be prevented from disembarking, but their request was denied. The ship had already docked in Curaçao. March 24, 1998, 7:50 a.m. The ship made a public announcement for Amy to come to the purser's desk, but by this time, many of the passengers had already disembarked. A full ship search was conducted later in the day, but no sign of Amy was found. March 24-27, 1998 The Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard conducted a four-day air and sea search for Amy around Curaçao and Aruba, but no trace of her was ever found. Authorities initially considered the possibility that she fell overboard, but this theory was later dismissed. The FBI has a page dedicated to Amy's disappearance and a separate website that features images of what she could potentially look like today. The page states, "The FBI is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the recovery of Amy Lynn Bradley and information that leads to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the person(s) responsible for her disappearance." She is described as standing at 5-feet-6-inches, and weighing 120 pounds with green eyes and short brown hair. 6 6 6

Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell shares huge update on rumoured celebrity line-up
Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has now added more weight to the rumours that former Neighbours star Stefan Dennis is joining the popular BBC dancing competition With just weeks until Strictly Come Dancing hits our screens once again, the rumour mill has gathered even more momentum as the celebrity line-up has become a subject of discussion among fans. And now, professional dancer Dianne Buswell has added more fuel to the rumours after lifting the lid on one person in particular, who may be joining this year's line-up. Step forward Australian actor Stefan Dennis, who is famed for his role as Paul Robinson in Neighbours. So far, it has been suggested that Stefan, former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison, Stacey Solomon and former Coronation Street Helen Flanagan will be taking to the dancefloor this year. This comes after Cruz Beckham 'steals' his dad's tiny white trunks and family have epic response. While on her podcast Winning Isn't Everything, which she co-hosts with her dance partner from last year Chris McCausland, she let slip that she had heard Stefan was joining the BBC show. When asked by Chris who will be donning the infamous sequinned outfits, she responded saying: "I have no idea, Chris!" However, she hen continued: "I heard that there's going be someone from Neighbours, which would be sick! I would love to dance with an Aussie!" Chris replied: "I loved Neighbours when I was younger." Dianne went on to say: "That's what I've heard. Someone told me this. Was it you, actually? No, you didn't tell me. "Someone told me, 'Oh, word on the street is there's a guy from Neighbours that's gonna be in it'. And I was like, 'Oh, that would be sick! That would be so cool!'". Not realising the level of popularity associated with Paul in the UK, she asked Chris: "Is he a big deal? Was he popular?" Over the years, the BBC have done their best to freshen up the professional dancers line-up. And this year, the broadcaster confirmed that Amy Dowden, Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Gorka Marquez, and Luba Mushtuk, will be taking to the dancefloor for the show.

Last month, lead judge Shirley Ballas was confirmed to be resuming her role alongside Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke. Appearing on This Morning Shirley said: "What I can tell you is, we have two fabulous professionals coming and joining the show. They are amazing really. We've got some little changes there that you're going to be really surprised about, every year they make those few little changes and it's really, really, really amazing."
