Geordie Shore original James Tindale confirms his return to the show after five years – and he’s single
GEORDIE Shore original James Tindale has confirmed his return to the show after five years – and he’s single.
The 28-year-old has already filmed the new series and has revealed that this time round viewers will see the real him for the first time as he gave “zero f***s”.
Speaking to The Sun Online from The Holisitc Retreat, where he was training guests, James said: “In the past I have been a very, very toned down person so this time I went in no f***s given, done what I want, said what I wanted.
“This time I am just me. I was the only single lad in there so I did what I wanted.”
James famously quit the show in 2014 in order to concentrate on his relationship with Kate Thorne, which sadly didn’t work out.
He took a step back from the limelight and opened his own gym – Gym Unique – as well as working with Robert Hisee on his retreats as a personal trainer.
But when he got the call to return to the hugely popular MTV show he couldn’t resist saying yes, telling us: “I didn't expect to do any more Geordie Shore. I thought that time in my life had pretty much come and gone.
“I've been single for a while now and enjoying that and making the most of it so when I did get a call if I wanted to go back it fitted in with my schedule and I thought why not? I'm single.”
He continued: “I thought I am in my prime, I am in my element 'bring it on'. I am a completely different person when I am single.

“When I am in a relationship I am really respectful so when I have done previous series i have really held myself back.”
As well as meeting girls in bars and clubs, James teased that he also had a fling with a girl in the house – but viewers will have to wait to see who.
Since stepping his toe back into TV James is keen to do more, but admits that being a personal trainer is still his biggest passion.
He said: “I love training people. This is my passion and I love helping people. I love seeing the difference that it makes through training, healthy eating and life style changes.
“I do get a buzz from Geordie Shore but I get more of a buzz from that and I feel like that is always going to be my long term main focus.
“I hope to keep doing retreats. I've really enjoyed The Holistic Retreat.”
