Geordie Shore star Marnie Simpson first appeared on our screens back in 2013. Since then the Newcastle-born lass has gone on to become one of the most recognisable faces in reality TV.
Marnie’s first job was as a bartender in South Shields, a role that no doubt set her up for the MTV show’s boozy antics. In 2012, she entered the Miss Newcastle contest and became a finalist. Although she didn’t win, the beauty queen was picked up by Geordie Shore, which she stayed on until 2018.
It is not known how much cash Marnie was paid during the series but it is safe to assume it was a fair amount considering it is one of MTV’s most popular shows and regularly surpasses 1.3 million views in the UK alone.
The brunette beauty did not speak specifically on her salary at the time but back in 2014 co-star Gaz Beadle did say that he earned between £40,000 and £45,000 a month.
In an interview with Heat magazine he said: “If you told me four years ago I’d be earning this kind of money, I’d have laughed. I do around four PAs a week, six if the series is on. They’ll pay me about £2,000 a time.”
It is therefore safe to assume that during Marnie’s time on the show, as she also was one of the main stars, she would have been paid similar sums in appearance fees.
We also know that Marnie received a pay rise on the show in 2017 after the cast members went on strike during a pay row. At the time a source told The Sun: "The big names in the cast are failing to agree terms such as fees for the series. With Gaz having left the show they felt there should be more money to dish out."
A year later Marnie quit Geordie Shore, taking to Twitter to announce the news. She wrote: “For everyone keep asking I have in fact permanently left Geordie shore, it was just time to move on, it just wasn’t the same without everyone who left and I made the decision to leave, it was a wild 5 years and I’m really thankful I got to do it!”

Aside from Geordie Shore Marnie has starred in Celebrity Big Brother and Ex on the Beach, which would no doubt have paid handsomely. She has an estimated net worth of £500,000 and not all of this is from reality TV or appearances.
The stunning star has also modelled for lingerie brand Love Honey, done a clothing range with Forever Modo and the face, or rather the teeth, of dental whitening brand Diamond Whites.
