Scotty T could be thrown off Geordie Shore as show bosses ‘call him in for crisis talks over his wild behaviour’
SCOTTY T is facing a dressing down from Geordie Shore bosses and and could even be kicked off the hit show as they struggle to control his behaviour.
Things reached a head at a recent London press day to promote the new series of the MTV programme, with a heated row breaking out behind the scenes.
And an insider told Sun Online how bosses are weighing up whether or not to remove Scotty from the show.
They said: "Scotty T might not be welcome back for the next series. He has been called in for a meeting with the show's execs where they will decide if he has a future on Geordie Shore.
"The cast have known for a while he has serious problems."
As one of the most-loved members of the cast, the source insisted the MTV thought really highly of the star.
"MTV really value Scotty,' said the insider. "They think he's a great talent and really want to keep him in company, but they need to consider taking him off Geordie Shore and the partying lifestyle for his own good."
Meanwhile, a source at the press event added: "Scotty's behaviour was erratic. He threw a strop over his lunch and had to be tracked down after stepping out of the building without giving notice."
A representative for MTV did not respond when approached for comment, while Scotty's publicist denied the claims.

It's not the first time Scotty's place in Geordie Shore has been thrown into jeopardy.
Last summer he was warned that if he didn’t become more reliable and stop turning up for filming in a hungover state, he would be booted out.
A TV source told Sun Online: “It may sound a bit ridiculous that the bosses of Geordie Shore are telling one of their biggest stars to stop partying and become more sensible, but that is what has happened.
“It has got to the point where they feel they can’t rely on him to do his job and they have warned him that if he doesn’t calm down and become more reliable, he won’t be allowed back for the next series.
“Over recent weeks his behaviour has become more erratic and something just had to be done.
“Obviously Geordie Shore is all about young people going out, getting trashed and living life to the full, but they’ve still got a job to do.”
The source added: “Scotty has gone from a virtual unknown to a huge star in a very short space of time, so it’s understandable that it’s all gone to his head, but he just needs to reassess and calm down a bit.”
