According to a show source, the already commissioned series will still go ahead with a reunion planned for later this summer.

However, the source claimed to The Sun: "Once those have been filmed MTV have decided to rest the series and will not be commissioning any more.

"Think of it as resting the format rather than cancelling it out right."

These claims have subsequently shut down by MTV and show bosses look forward to what the future brings for one of its most popular shows.

Geordie Shore first aired in 2011 and has been a hit with viewers ever since.

At its peak, the MTV reality series was watched regularly by over 1 million people per episode.

However, in recent years ratings have fallen to just over 100,000.

The original cast included Charlotte, Gaz, Vicky, Jay Gardner, Holly Hagan, James Tindale, Greg Lake and Sophie Kasaei.

In 2011, when it first aired, Geordie Shore received a huge backlash as the series focussed on the cast living and partying together.

However, the show was a huge success and sparked spin-offs as well making household names of many members of the cast who went on to star in other reality programmes.
