WATCH OUT WORLD! MTV UK’S GEORDIE SHORE GOES GLOBAL AND HEADS DOWNUNDER FOR SERIES SIX! Check out www.mtv.co.uk/GeordieShore6 LONDON: 25TH February 2013: MTV UK has today announced that a sixth series of its highest rating television series ever, Geordie Shore, will be heading down under to film a sixth series of the smash hit show on Australian shores. The cast will be heading out to film immediately and the show be broadcast in Summer 2013. Bonza! Turning the series on its head, MTV will be turning the lives and loves of its beloved cast quite literally upside down as they head off to the other side of the world to ‘tash on’, ‘get mortal’, ‘bosh’ and ‘get on it till we vomit’ like only the Geordie’s can. Will the Aussies embrace their mortal ways and languid lingo? Will the red hot sun finally ignite passions between Charlotte and Gaz? Or will he be dizzied by the endless sea of surfing Sheilas? And will James be bambozzled by worldies on the other side of the globe? Geordie Shore’s Charlotte said: “Filming down under is going to be mint! Just like filming in Newcastle but with a perma-tan and a load of SHRIMPS!” Holly added: “I hope those hot Aussie surfers are ready, because we’re on a mission to cause mayhem!” Scott concluded: “I’ll be like the Geordie crocodile Dundee, that’s not a pipe… this is a PIPE!” MTV UK’s Geordie Shore is the most successful and highest rating television series in MTV UK history and the number one show on MTV UK. Named one of the top three most social brands on Twitter in the UK in 2012, Geordie Shore is one of MTV’s most social brands across Europe, Australia and New Zealand and trends worldwide weekly on twitter during premiere episodes.
