Geordie Shore favourite Scotty T has reportedly been axed from the series following a recent driving ban and cocaine scandal. 

The reality star, 36, who made his return to the Paramount+ series last year, pleaded guilty last month to two counts of driving under the influence of a controlled drug, which was above the specified limit.

After pleading guilty, Scotty was fined £330 and banned from driving for a year. 

Despite his big return after a two-year absence, sources report that show bosses have now decided to drop him from the upcoming series. 

A source told The Sun: ‘Scotty T will not be back for the next series of Geordie Shore, which starts filming later this spring.

‘While the Geordie Shore cast have never been expected to be squeaky clean, bosses couldn’t stand by his recent off screen antics.

‘At the end of the day, it’s not a good look for the show or MTV if they endorse cast members who drive whilst under the influence of illegal drugs.’ 

The source added that bosses had no choice but to not invite him back for the next series. 

However, if he ‘cleans up his act,’ there may be a chance for a return in the future. But for now, the show will be moving forward without him. 

MailOnline has contacted MTV for comment. 

The Celebrity Big Brother winner was stopped in Newcastle on October 18 last year. 

According to The Sun, the city’s magistrates’ court heard that he had 32 micrograms per litre of blood in his system while driving his Land Rover Discovery.

The legal limit is 10 micrograms, and he also had 800 micrograms of BZE per litre of blood – well above the legal limit of 50 micrograms. 

Insiders for The Sun previously teased that Scotty T was set to make a dramatic return overseas.

A source told them: ‘Scotty’s been in weeks of talks and is now days away from signing on to officially rejoin the cast. 

‘He really missed the show and knows it was his own fault he had to leave. 

‘The cast all still love him so they’re so happy he’s set to return. It means next series will be incredible – even though he’s done some stupid things in the past, he’s fun TV. 

The source also added that bosses had warned him this was his ‘last chance’ and not to ‘ruin it like he did last time.’

Scotty T first joined the cast in 2012 for the fourth series and was continuously on the show until 2018. 

The reality star then returned in 2022 for series 18, 19 and 23 and in 2019, he opened up about his battle with drugs. 

According to The Sun, he booked himself into a rehab centre facility in 2017 and spent two weeks recovering. 

However, months later MailOnline revealed he had been axed from the show by MTV bosses after he was pictured ‘snorting a suspicious substance’ and exposing himself to a female.

The reality star was told by MTV bosses at the time that he couldn’t take part in the next season due to his behaviour. 

A TV insider told The Sun at the time: ‘Scotty cannot be trusted filming with the cast; he’s a liability and no one needs the stress of minding after him.

‘He’s been a great long-running character but his behaviour towards the end of last year proved that he no longer deserves a place on the series.

‘The cast are flying out to Australia at the end of this week and he won’t be joining them.

MailOnline contacted Scotty T’s representative at the time and a Geordie Shore spokesperson declined to comment.
