Who is Ant Kennedy on Geordie Shore? Gateshead lad joins cast for series 21

Geordie Shore is back for its 21st series on MTV and a few new faces are being thrown into the mix for the new run of episodes.

Cast your minds back to the summer of 2011 and that is when the likes of Charlotte Crosby, Gaz Beadle and Vicky Pattison were among the first people to ever set foot in the Geordie Shore house.

Fast forward to 2020 and countless other cast members have followed in their drunken footsteps, with three newcomers in the cast for the new series.

The most surprising of them is former X Factor finalist Amelia Lily, with her arrival stunning Geordie Shore regulars like Nathan Henry and Chloe Ferry in episode 1.

She is joined on the newbie list by Louis Shaw and Ant Kennedy.

Anth, 27, is a former sales executive at motoring traders Evans Halshaw and W J King Group and also a keen MMA fighter, last in action in Total Combat 80 in Spennymoor at the end of August.

Geordie Shore new boy Louis Shaw is actually from Yorkshire

The Gateshead lad, who hails from Blaydon, quickly made an impact in the house, attracting the attention of both Amelia and Chloe, which looks set to pave the way for some friction between the pair.

He told Chronicle Live that, while going on Geordie Shore was like being on a wild holiday, he realised he can't handle hangovers like he used to, listing fresh air and loads of water as his best cures after a night on the tiles.
