MTV on the hunt for people to take part in new reality TV show set in Ireland

MTV is looking for a new batch of aspiring reality TV stars for an Irish version of popular show Geordie Shore.

Bosses are on the hunt for 18 to 24-year-olds who consider themselves “the life of the party”.

The new show, Life Of The Party, is currently in early stages of production, with casting directors on the lookout for fresh Irish talent.

An insider revealed to The Star: “They are doing this Irish Geordie Shore. I’ve a feeling Geordie Shore will be cancelled soon, and this is why they are doing it.

“Remember they used to have The Valleys? The Welsh one. Then they did Geordie Shore. Now they’re going to do a big one for MTV in Britain, but it will be with Irish youngsters, living together and partying and going out and all of that.

"It will be set in Ireland. They’ve a lot of very exciting people.”

Former Big Brother star Hughie Maughan could be the voice of the show.

The source added: “We don’t have much TV in Ireland – never mind reality TV. This will be just what we need on our screens.”

The show sounds similar to Tallafornia, which hit Irish screens in 2011.

The reality TV show was called the 'Irish Jersey Shore', with a group of girls and fellas in their 20s from Tallaght who lived in a house together.

There were 22 episodes and was shown on TV3. Although the cast were from Tallaght, the series was filmed in locations near Citywest and in Santa Ponsa in Majorca.
