Geordie Shore’s Marnie Simpson reveals new career away from TV as she celebrates 'next chapter'
Reality star Marnie Simpson has teased a new career away from TV. The 32 year old shot to fame on Geordie Shore in 2013 and has been on our screens ever since. But taking to Instagram, Marnie announced a shock move, telling her followers that "something BIG is coming".
In the post, she was seen standing outside a building with aesthetic practitioner April Kemp, who is the owner of beauty clinic Enhance U Aesthetics - which is nearby to Marnie's £1.5 million home in Bedfordshire. While Marnie has remained tight-lipped about her exact plans, it suggests that the pair are going into business together. Sharing the same post, April added: "THE NEXT CHAPTER PENDING….Watch this space…….." to which Marnie replied: "Yessss my girl can’t wait."
Marnie's followers were quick to comment on the exciting news, with her co-star Chloe Ferry - who also owns a beauty salon - writing: "So excited for you." Georgia Harrison said: "Woooop," while Lateysha Grace wrote: "Ohhhh," alongside a string of eye emojis. Marnie's husband Casey Johnson, who she shares sons Rox, five, and Oax, two, with, also showed his support, commenting three love heart emojis.

Since leaving Geordie Shore in 2018, Marnie has returned for its spin-off reunion shows over the years. She's also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, Ex On The Beach and most recently Celebrity: SAS Who Dares Wins.
Opening up about her experience on the Channel 4 show, she admitted that she genuinely feared for her life during a high-altitude trainasium task, which is designed to test military personnel's head for heights and parachuting readiness.
Recounting the terrifying moment, Marnie said: "I still thought there was a chance I could die on that trainasium, even though I know it's a Channel 4 show. I still thought I could be an unlucky person who dies!". She went on to describe the sheer terror of the task, saying: "What was horrible about that task is the thing [wire] is attached to our backs so you can not feel it at all.
"If I had felt like a slight tug, I would have been a little more secure but I could not feel anything. So it just felt like I was walking across this plank and I did not like the feeling of having no support."
On why she signed up for the show, she added: "I think because I've always enjoyed watching the show and it's one of my favourites that it was definitely at the top of the list of things that I wanted to challenge myself with. It was just always something that I wanted to see if I would be able to do but it is probably the most difficult reality show that I have ever been in."
