Everyone knows how much I love the Jersey Shore (especially the Jersey Shore tactical RPG). Well, I can't tell you how excited I am by this. Ladies and Gentleman, I bring you The Geordie Shore!

The UK version of the show will be made by Liverpool-based Lime Pictures, producer of another teen reality show, The Only Way Is Essex, which was a hit for digital channel ITV2 last year, and Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks.

Taylor said it would be "loosely based on the American show". "The things we are taking away is the great cast - memorable characters who are funny and brash but at the same time warm and get on with each other," she added.

I think the best part is the production company has a person who's supposed to be the "head of factual", and they're making a reality show.
