GEORDIE Shore fans think they’ve worked out the real reason Marnie Simpson and husband Casey Johnson quit the show.
Yesterday The Sun revealed Marnie, 32, and Casey, 28, had refused to film any new episodes.
It came after Marnie’s huge bust-up with Charlotte Crosby while filming the last series, which saw Charlotte quit “forever”.
But Charlotte isn’t leaving Geordie Shore behind as she this week revealed she’s been put in charge of the Australian version of the show.
Now fans think Charlotte’s announcement and Marnie and Casey quitting the UK show are related.
One wrote on social media: “Yes of course they do this when Charlotte gets the spin-off.
“Marnie must be so triggered but honestly good riddance.”
Another said: “The day after they announced Charlotte is getting the spin off. Good riddance.”
And a third added: “The jealousy would be consuming and fermenting with some of the GS cast.”
A TV insider told us of Marnie’s decision to leave: “A source told us: “Marnie was really unhappy with how the last series went down and how she came across.
“It made her miserable and stressed and she doesn’t want to go back. Casey is fully supportive and has had enough too.
“They want a fresh start and don’t feel like they need the show anymore.”
The source added: “MTV tried to persuade them to come back for another round, as the ratings for the last series skyrocketed with all the drama, but they aren’t interested.”
Meanwhile an excited Charlotte took to Instagram to announce her brand new job.
“The secrets out! And I am absolutely DIZZY with POWER. Who ever put me in charge of 10 of THE CRAZIEST Aussies I’ve ever met needs a pay rise LOL because this is the most chaotic concoction there’s ever been!
“I’m still having to pinch myself in here in Australia my most favourite place on earth and I AM THE BOSS! I’m the Aussie version of ANNA! LMAO.”
Anna Parkin was known as The Boss on British MTV’s Geordie Shore, and was in charge of the Geordie Shore cast on the show.
Charlotte continued: “It’s felt soooooo nostalgic being here for the beginning of what I know is gunna be a HUGE Shore adventure!!!”
