‘ I’ll propose to Emma

this year!’

Geordie OGs star Gaz

Beadle opens up to

about settling down and

expecting baby number two

EXCLUSIVE

G

ary Beadle has come a

long way since he first

joined Geordie Shore in

2011. The self-confessed
      party boy, who once claimed he
      “should have a degree in pulling
      women”, has swapped beers for
      babies as he and girlfriend Emma
      McVey are now parents to their
      19-month-old son Chester – and
      have another tot on the way!
      Gary and Emma, who is due to
      give birth in December, shared
      their happy news in June and
      later found out they are expecting
      a girl. Opening up about having
      a daughter this time around,
      Gaz tells us he didn’t expect it
      to happen as quickly as it did,
      but says he’s “buzzing” to add
      to his brood. The reality star
      also admits he sees more
      children in their future and
      is planning to propose to
      Emma, 26, this year. Ooh!
      It’s fair to say Gaz has
      well and truly settled
      down – and he can’t wait
      for fans to see another
      side to him when he stars
      in Geordie OGs alongside
      his former co-stars Aaron
      Chalmers, Marnie Simpson
      and Holly Hagan.
      “People who watched me on
      Geordie Shore are now going
      to watch me on this and be like,
      ‘Wow!’” he says. “They’ll see
      me waking up in my house and
      changing bloody nappies.”
      As we sit down for a chat at
      MTV HQ, Gaz, 31, opens up about
      getting back on camera and
      moving away from the “fake”
      celeb world...

Hi Gaz! How are you feeling

about expecting a baby girl?

I’m buzzing. We’d only been trying

for two weeks and then Emma fell

pregnant. We thought we’d be

trying for about six months! Emma

did a pregnancy test and then

one day while I was downstairs

Chester came into the room with

a top on saying, “I’m going to be

a big brother.”

That’s adorable!

Yeah, we find out on the show,

which I didn’t expect to happen.

I literally go white! I was so pale.

Are you nervous about having

baby number two?

I was so nervous with Chester

because I’d never even held

a baby. I didn’t have a clue.

But now I’m not feeling

one bit of fear or nerves. I

know I’m going to smash it.

Does Chester understand

that he’s going to have

a sister?

Well, we got him a doll the

other day and he loves that.

He’s got a bottle for it and when

it makes a crying noise, he knows

to put the dummy in its mouth.

Aw! Who do you think he takes

after the most?

My mum sent me a picture of me

when I was younger and I thought

it was a picture of Chester. He’s

the spitting image of me! I feel

like he’s only just starting to figure

out his personality, but he’s a bit

of both of us. It’s so funny

watching him develop.

Would you like more children or

do you feel like your family will

be complete?

It’s nice that we’ll have a boy and

girl, but I don’t think you can ever

have too many kids.

I want, like, seven!

Are you a hands-on dad?

I go swimming with

Chester every Thursday.

We walk in and there’s

me and five mums!

We get in the pool and

we have to sing songs

and he gets his little

certificates. It’s so good

for him. We’re lucky that

we can take him out most

mornings and afternoons

and have a lot of fun. I’ve

really enjoyed this past

year with him.

Is marriage on the cards?

Yeah. I think it’s a bit

weird that we’ll have

two kids with different

surnames to Emma. I

reckon we’ll probably get engaged

this year, but then I’d wait until the

kids could walk down the aisle

and actually know what’s going

on. I want my daughter to be a bit

older, so we’d probably have a

two or three-year engagement.

What kind of wedding would

you want?

I’m not a religious person at all so

I’d probably get married abroad

with about 20 of us. I’m not

bothered about a big hype.

Who do you think will be the

next Geordie to have children?

I think Aaron might be next. His

girlfriend already has a seven-

year-old, so he’s kind of cheated

past all the young years and got

an older kid he can go to the

cinema with!

Do you get to see much of all the

Geordies these days?

Not really. We all live in different

parts of the country and I think

the only thing we had in common

was going out and getting drunk.

Obviously Marnie is having a kid,
