In 2011, loveable ladies magnet Gary Beadle was
jobless and down to his last £20 when he was randomly asked to be in a
reality TV show called Geordie Shore. He'd never heard of its American
predecessor, Jersey Shore, but with his only prospects being his next
dole cheque - and swayed by the offer of free booze - he signed himself
up for the challenge. He could never have anticipated the insane new
life he was about to lead.
From a shy youngster at school, who was the captain of his football
team, Gary also never expected the effect he would have on the British
public - especially its women. After leaving school at 16, Gary fell
into a variety of jobs, even having a brief spell in the Royal Marines.
Unfortunately, nothing stuck and, by the time he reached 22, he hadn't a
clue what to do next - until the night he was asked to join the cast of
MTV's Geordie Shore.
Now, for the first time, Gary reveals what growing up in his native
Newcastle was like, explains his winning luck with the ladies, and
offers up his much sought after tips on how to bag a bird on a night
out: something he's proved he's pretty much an expert at. From
job-hunting to making public appearances in front of thousands of
screaming girls, Gary is secretly amazed by the change in his fortunes.
He may be known for his crazy, fun-loving nature, but there's much more
to Gary than girls, booze and nights out. And it's all packed into this -
his autobiography.
I'm sure there's only a few people in the UK unaware of Geordie
Shore and those that are aware of it probably have an opinion on it.
Personally I love the show and the people on it. I recently read Vicky's
autobiography and that was a complete eye opener. After reading Gaz's I
can only say the same, what he has achieved from just appearing on a TV
show drinking and having sex is incredible. A clothing range, a shop, owns
a Ferrari, a nightclub in Zante, fitness products, the list goes on and
this is all from appearing on Geordie Shore. Crazy.
I loved reading about Gaz growing up, especially
when he was in school. He was a right little tearaway but at the same
time still got the results. His teenage years were certainly eventful
with the possibility of playing for Newcastle to joining the Marines his
life could have went in so many different directions but it seems fate
was only going to lead him to one point... That is of course Geordie Shore and it was
interesting to read about how the show came about and what went on after
having read Vicky's book from someone else that had went through it too. I
can definitely relate to Gaz in not knowing what to do with my life or
where it's going to go but unfortunately I don't think there's a
producer waiting in the wings to come and change my life...
There is some behind the scenes gossip and some secrets revealed but nothing
too shocking, it's essentially just the seasons recapped from Gaz's POV
which plenty of details about his conquests throughout. He also speaks
with honesty about Charlotte and how much he cares about her but anyone
watching the show knows he never promised anything yet always comes out
looking the bad guy. He does after all play a character or a 'role' as each of the housemates do but underneath it all is a decent lad who has been brought up well but is living a life most of us can only dream about.
I thought the target audience for this book would be
girls but the book contains at the end of each chapter Parsnip Pointers
which gives lads tips on everything from pulling a girl on holiday to
achieving the holy grail: a threesome. Gaz has literally given out all
his best tips but to be honest I think girls love him too much to take
any offence whilst reading it, they do throw themselves at him after
all... For that reason the book does appeal to both males and females. Ultimately it was a very enjoyable read and a good way for Gaz to get his side of the story across as and at the end of the day he gets the last laugh over the haters as he's loaded and only seems to get more successful as the seasons go on.
