TV star Chantelle Connelly is back on home turf, arriving back in Newcastle to start a new career and with big ambitions for 2023, aiming to take advantage of every opportunity that comes her way and create an amazing life for her and her son.
It was back in 2016 that Chantelle made her debut on Geordie Shore, joining the cast of the much talked about show with fellow newcomer Marty McKenna, before going onto star in its fifth anniversary series Big Birthday Battle, before making a heated exit during filming abroad.
Since her time on Geordie Shore, Chantelle has become a mam and carved out a new life for herself in the much sunnier climes of Marbella, but this year she made a shock return to the programme that made her famous, arriving as an unexpected guest for the Geordie Shore reunion party at Boiler Shop in the city centre, before jetting off to Portugal to films with co-stars like Charlotte Crosby, Jay Gardner, Holly Hagan and James Tindale.
