Geordie Shore star Ricci Guarnaccio has been rushed to hospital as he took to Instagram with a health update on Wednesday. 

The reality star, 38, admitted he was in ‘agony’ as he shared a snap from outside from the emergency department. 

Ricci, who first joined the show back in 2012 before later returning in 2022, revealed he was having problems with back pain. 

He captioned the Story: ‘Backs completely gone! AGONY.’

Later Ricci shared a selfie from what appeared to be the waiting room as he pouted in a beige hoody and white baseball cap. 

It comes after Ricci appeared unrecognisable to fans after spending over £50,000 on plastic surgery.

Ricci first burst into the limelight in 2012 as the Northern heartthrob who found love with Vicky Pattison on the Northern reality show. 

The star ended up quitting the show after his toxic relationship with Vicky fell apart, but he returned in 2022 when the show was picked up by Paramount+. 

When trailers for the new series appeared on X last month, Ricci’s fans were left in shock, commenting: ‘Barely recognised Rick and Kyle’; ‘I don’t usually comment on peoples appearances but bloody hell, their faces’; 

‘What’s happened to all their faces! Their eyes look tiny, is that the side effect of too much Botox?’; ‘Are all their teeth made of plastic?’; ‘Oh wow what are my eyes watching, they guys all need help!’

Yet Ricci is proud of his new look, telling The Daily Star: ‘I love it, I’m addicted. I think I’m looking sweet now for 38. I’ve had a few good surgeons.

‘I remember watching people on TOWIE and whatnot I was thinking, “Jesus Christ, man, you’ve had far much work done.'” Then I got my first nose job. And I was like, “Holy s***, this stuff works, how fit do I look?”‘

Listing his procedures, Ricci revealed he’s had three nose jobs; blepharoplasty (eyelid lift ); lastysmaplasty (jaw тιԍнтening) neck muscle тιԍнтening; Botox, fillers; and three sets of veneers. 

And Ricci insisted that he has no plans of slowing down anytime soon, with the reality star adding: ‘I’m definitely gonna get more work as well. I absolutely love it. I couldn’t give a toss what anyone says, I look real sweet and tasty. I do think people can take it too far but what’s too far?’

Ricci’s love of surgery is something that has in common with many of his Geordie Shore stars, with several of them going under the knife after appearing on the show.

While there has been a shift in cultural trends of late and a steer towards the more ‘natural’ look, it’s left some of the MTV stars reversing their procedures or with lifelong regrets.

Ricci began dabbling in enhancements during his break from Geordie Shore, when he worked as a DJ in Australia.

Previously, Ricci and Chantelle sat down with an exclusive chat with MailOnline about the series alongside co-star Nathan Henry, 33. 

Opening up about what happened between the boys, Ricci said: ‘There’s a lot more going on with the lads this time, than the girls. 

‘You can tell… by what MTV are dropping that it’s a lot more lad-orientated, the time before in Cyprus, it was the girls. 

‘I don’t think you could ever imagine the bust-ups and the drama between the lads that happened in this series.

‘It’s never happened ever – even from the days when I first in it as well with Gaz [Beadle] and Jay [Gardner]. It’s probably the biggest bust-up.’

He added: ‘There’s a lot more stuff going on with the lads this time that you wouldn’t expect ever and it’s throughout as well.’
