Gaz: The Autobiography of Geordie Shore's Ultimate Lad

In 2011 Gary Beadle was out of work, nearly broke, and living on his last few pounds when a chance invitation pulled him into Geordie Shore, a reality series on MTV. He had never watched its American forerunner and had little idea what he was signing up for, but the free drinks and the prospect of a steady income tipped the scales. Before that, he had been a shy schoolboy who captained his football team, then drifted through a string of jobs after leaving school at sixteen, including a short stint in the Royal Marines. In this memoir he describes growing up in Newcastle, his knack with women, and his advice for picking someone up on a night out. He also writes about adjusting to sudden fame and the crowds of fans that came with it, and about the person behind the party image.
