Some reality TV contestants leave their respective shows with cash prizes and tarnished reputations. Charlotte Crosby left hers with a bleeding anus and a new love interest.
She’d also be the first one to tell you that she’s not the tiniest bit ashamed of either (and nor should she be) and it’s this unfiltered approach to discussing life, love and bodily functions that has endeared her to a legion of fans, building a successful career on simply being herself.
The 29-year-old first rose to fame in 2011 as a cast member on the popular reality series Geordie Shore, before going on to appear in many other reality-based programs while also working as an influencer, radio star, author, entrepreneur and charity ambassador.
From the moment she first appeared on this year’s season of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! she began grabbing headlines.
Initially for her refusal to jump out of a helicopter (fair) and then due to her romantic relationship with Married At First Sight star Ryan Gallagher , a love that sprung up on camera in the celebrity-filled camp alongside gruesome challenges and a fair bit of starvation.

However, in this age of never-ending reality TV offerings and deep distrust, fans are wary of jumping on any kind of fairytale TV bandwagon. So as their relationship progressed, fans – potentially feeling a little carried away after consuming one too many true crime podcasts – decided they smelled a love rat.
