A FORMER star of Towie has confirmed that he will make a shock return to the show.
The ITVBe personality formerly left the long-running series to join a new reality programme.
Original Geordie Shore cast members Charlotte Crosby, Holly Hagan, James Tindale and Jay Gardner previously reunited to film a brand new series of the hit MTV show.
Other long-standing names joining them include Ricci Guarnaccio, Marnie Simpson, Chloe Ferry and Nathan Henry.
Just like the Reunion series, the instalment sees the cast in their new lives with their partners and children, and it's set to air next year.
Sophie Kasaei, 34, is another member of the OG cast to return to the show alongside her long-term boyfriend Jordan Brook, 28.

The pair previously appeared on The Only Way Is Essex together as their relationship became more serious.
They were forced to leave the show due to Geordie Shore commitments, but it looks as though he is eying up a huge comeback.
We asked the reality star whether he would return to The Only Way Is Essex when the show returns for its 33rd series.
He couldn't help but gush about the show as he explained: "I love Towie, I think Towie definitely has longevity in it, it's on the up.
"It's got snippets of old school Towie. Most importantly, it's real and heartfelt and people can relate to the stories more than ever.
"Especially when it comes to real life events that people are struggling with. And the good times."
"I will do Towie for a long time. I will definitely be back for next series!"
It also seems that he is looking forward to filming more series of Geordie Shore with his partner.
"I love the crossover," Jordan stated.
"I love that Sophie does Towie with me and I love that I can do Geordie with her. It's not stereotypical, I'm an Essex boy and always will be. She is Geordie through and through."
I love Towie, I think Towie definitely has longevity in it, it's on the up.

He added: "I always say to Soph that we have the north/south divide, she's from up there from a world that I have no idea about.
"And she didn't really know about here. But worlds collide and we get on like a house on fire."
The Only Way Is Essex is available to watch on ITVBe and ITVX.
