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.
Sophie, who has been a staple on the hit reality show on-and-off since its 2011 debut, had been in negotiations trying to secure a pay rise.
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."

Love Island Kyle's replacement revealed as he's axed after machete arrest
LOVE Island has revealed Kyle Ashman's replacement after the hunk was axed over a machete attack arrest. Kyle, 23, was sent packing from Majorca just days ahead of the series launch after it emerged he'd been quizzed by cops over a violent attack that took place in February. 2 He was released without charge and maintains his innocence. Tonight, the show revealed professional rugby player Conor Phillips, 25, will take his place in the starting line-up. The Irishman said he's looking for "someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman." When it comes to turn offs, he says: "Being too needy, or needing to do everything together. I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing." In his official announcement pic, Conor is flanked by beauties Helena Ford and Megan Clarke. Earlier today, Kyle broke his silence on his exit and said: 'I fully co-operated 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.' Masked thugs stormed a wake in Stafford and hacked at a dad with a blade in February. Kyle was one of two quizzed but released with no further action. In a video uploaded to Instagram tonight, the aspiring reality star revealed he's still hopeful of having a future on the show. Love Island star sensationally axed from show after revelation he was arrested over machete attack on dad just months ago Speaking from inside a house, he said: "I'm not a bad guy, honestly. I'm a normal guy from a normal place. An opportunity arose to find love and I grabbed it with both hands, and it's been taken away from me. "I've seen the support pages and, who knows, maybe I'll get the chance to go on Casa Amor or as a bombshell, go back in and show you who I really am. Show you I'm not a bad guy. We'll see."

EXCLUSIVE Gal Gadot 'reluctant to ever film in London again' after antisemitic protests
Gal Gadot has been left 'scarred' and 'reluctant to ever film in London again' following a wave of anti-Israel and antisemitic protests that have dogged the production of her latest film. The Wonder Woman star, 40, is currently in the UK shooting The Runner, a political thriller, but has faced persistent demonstrations from pro-Palestinian activists who accuse her of 'normalising war criminals' because of her past support for Israel and mandatory service in the Israeli Defence Forces. According to a source close to the production, Ms Gadot has told friends she is 'reluctant to ever film in London again' and has found the experience 'scarring'. The source added that those working on the film had become increasingly exasperated by the scale of the disruption, which began earlier this month, and by what they perceived as a lack of firm action by police. But last week the Metropolitan Police finally took action. They confirmed that five people were arrested at a filming site in Westminster for attempting to disrupt the production. Two of the arrests were for offences committed at previous protests, while three were for action on the day. The Wonder Woman star, 40, is currently in the UK shooting The Runner, a political thriller, but has faced persistent demonstrations from pro-Palestinian activists who accuse her of 'normalising war criminals' because of her past support for Israel and mandatory service in the Israeli Defence Forces 'While we absolutely acknowledge the importance of peaceful protest, we have a duty to intervene where it crosses the line into serious disruption or criminality,' said Superintendent Neil Holyoak. 'I hope today's operation shows we will not tolerate the harassment of or unlawful interference with those trying to go about their legitimate professional work in London.' Protests have taken place over at least 20 days, with activists sharing filming locations on social media and attempting to block access. One poster, circulated ahead of filming at YY London earlier this month, read: 'Last time her filming location was circulated, filming was successfully interrupted and activists made the point loud and clear. No to IDF soldiers in our city. No normalising war criminals!! Free Palestine.' Last month, protesters targeted Ms Gadot while she was filming on Waterloo Bridge, waving Palestinian flags and placards, banging saucepan lids, and blaring sirens. Chants included 'Gal Gadot, you can't hide,' while signs read 'Trash Gadot not welcome in London' and 'Stop starving Gaza.' Officers from Scotland Yard dispersed the group, but no arrests were made at that time. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson confirmed the recent operation followed weeks of similar disruption 'solely because an actress involved in the production is Israeli.' Ms Gadot has not commented publicly on the protests, but her treatment has sparked widespread condemnation. The Campaign Against Antisemitism has condemned the sustained targeting of Ms Gadot, a mother-of-four, warning it reflects a wider climate of hostility toward Jewish people in the UK. A spokesperson told the Mail: 'We welcome the arrests of individuals who have allegedly been harassing Gal Gadot and her colleagues during filming. At least the financial cost of allowing the mob unfettered freedom to spew their bile is motivating the authorities to act, even if the social cost has yet to be acknowledged. 'With Ms Gadot reportedly reconsidering her business in the UK, it remains to be seen whether this is too little too late. Our polling shows that less than half of British Jews feel welcome in the UK. 'Here is an example of a foreign Jew being made to feel unwelcome. We have all learned the hard way that 'Free Palestine' activism does not end with mere rhetoric. The time has come to clamp down once and for all.' The experience stands in stark contrast to her previous time filming in the UK, including work on Wonder Woman 1984, which shot scenes in London in 2018 without incident. Her latest visit has unfolded against a backdrop of growing concern over antisemitism in Britain, with the UK increasingly viewed as a hotbed of hostility toward Jewish figures in public life. Ms Gadot has also faced similar protests in the US. Demonstrators disrupted her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in May, chanting 'Shame on Gal Gadot' and waving Palestinian flags. Days later, her star on the Walk of Fame was defaced, with vandals scrawling 'Baby killer' and altering her surname to 'Greestien'—a misspelling of her family's original Jewish name, Greenstein. Stickers with inflammatory messages like 'Israeli snipers target children' were also found. The Campaign Against Antisemitism called the graffiti 'a modern manifestation of medieval antisemitic tropes,' likening it to the blood libel.

New Love Island contestant REVEALED after Kyle Ashman was axed from the line-up following machete attack arrest
Conor has been announced as the new Love Island contestant after it was revealed Kyle Ashman had been axed from the show on Tuesday evening. The 23-year-old from Stafford threw the show into chaos after The Sun reported that he was involved in a machete attack in February when masked thugs stormed a wake and hacked at a dad with a blade. Kyle was one of two arrested by police but he was released with no further action. And now it has been revealed Conor will be taking his place as he swoops in last minute ahead of Monday's launch episode. The professional rugby player, 25, from Limerick is ready to find the woman of his dreams and is looking for 'Someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Revealing his biggest ick ahead of the series Conor revealed: 'Being too needy, or needing to do everything together. 'I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing.' Conor's entry in the villa comes after Kyle was cited to be leaving the show for 'personal reasons'. Following the reports, Kyle confirmed he had no involvement in the incident, but has chosen to leave the ITV show regardless. He told MailOnline: '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.' Meanwhile ITV added: 'For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned.' The Love Island line-up was announced on Tuesday so Kyle's departure will have plunged the show into chaos ahead of Monday's launch episode. The Sun have revealed they alerted bosses on Kyle being questioned in the attack but ITV said they were unaware of the incident and he was not flagged during the contestant checks. The incident on February 28 saw the victim, 38, nearly lose his arm after he was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment and kept it for around two weeks. Another mourner was reportedly glassed, one hit with a metal pole, and two people were run over by a car during the 15 minute attack at the The White Eagle Club in Stafford. Sources said the victim was attacked by three balaclava-clad thugs over an alleged £3,000 debt. He was injured by a blade that left him with a deep gash and has suffered tendon damage and is now unable to drive. Police confirmed yesterday that after the matter had been investigated Kyle and another individual were released with no further action only last month. A show source told the publication: 'ITV were entirely unaware of Kyle's past and, as he was not charged, it was not flagged as part of Love Island's stringent DBS checks. 'It's only right he can now return home to the UK to share his side of the story and therefore bosses took the decision that it was best for him not to enter the villa.' Staffordshire Police said on Monday: 'A 22-year-old man, from Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of wounding and affray. Another man, also 22 and from Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of affray. 'Both were questioned in custody and bailed with conditions while our enquiries continue.' Love Island returns Monday 9th June at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
