Geordie Shore star makes shock RETURN to the show after quitting as she surprises cast on glam overseas trip
AN MTV starlet is to make a shocking return to hit Newcastle-based show Geordie Shore after sensationally quitting the reality series.
A Geordie Shore star will soon make an epic return to the show after quitting because of a pay dispute.
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.”
