Geordie Shore star says he’ll ‘absolutely annihilate’ his ‘fake’ co-star after furious feud & vows to expose secrets
GEORDIE Shore star Ricci Guarnaccio has vowed to “absolutely annihilate” his co-star James Tindale on the next series of Geordie Shore after their on-screen feud reached new heights.
The reality TV star came to blows with James on the latest series of the MTV reality show filmed in Thailand after a flurry of arguments led to an almighty spat.
And there’s certainly been no love lost between the pair since filming ended as James and Ricci’s fallout has continued, especially as the scenes filmed for the show last year play out for fans to see across the globe.
On the most recent series, Ricci was left furious with James after becoming embroiled in a vicious row between him, Jay Gardner and James’ now-fiance, Leah Bowley.
Ricci and Leah clashed over comments made between Jay and Leah that dated back to the show’s reunion series in 2023. At the time, Jay stated there was “only room in the house for one Leah” in a joke about the fact both he and James’ partners shared the same name.
The comment left Leah rattled and she soon rowed with Ricci on the show as he attempted to step-in and defend his mate whilst also exposing a text message from Leah Bowley about Jay’s partner which read: “She looks a bit up her own a***”.
Now, in an exclusive interview with The Sun, Ricci has let rip at James and branded him “pathetic” and “fake” for dragging the arguments onto TV and suggested it was purely a motive to cause drama for the show as well as vowing to expose evidence of James going behind his pals’ backs after being left jealous of their TV success on the next series of the show.
Not holding back, Ricci told The Sun: “When I next see James – I know he’s slagged people off and I’m going to absolutely annihilate him next series because of the people that he’s actually gone to, ridiculed and slagged off and then acted as if they are best mates.
“The thing is with James, he’s done 20 series with Geordie Shore and he’s a jealous little bitter person.
“He’s the most boring cast member ever and people keep saying that. He’s so fake. It’s ridiculous.”
The star continued: “So it’ll obviously all play out if he decides to do next series which I hope he does.
“I know he’s slagged people off and he’s been a jealous person about all the others when they’re getting TV shows and he’s been you know maybe saying a few bad words about them people.
“I know exactly what he said. He’s so f***ing fake.
“It just boils me when lads act in a certain way.”
After his ferocious clash with Leah in the fifth episode of the show’s latest series, Ricci has now vowed to never speak to her again and admitted he only plans to communicate with James to tell him some home truths on the next series of the MTV programme, which is expected to kick off filming in just a few weeks.
Ricci said: “I’ll never speak to Leah ever and I’ll never speak to James unless I’m filming again.
“I think we all get to a point in our lives as well where people like Sophie [Kasaei] is saying that me and Jay need to grow up but James is the most childish, pathetic little thing ever.
“Me and James used to be tight. But yeah that’s long gone, definitely. I think he just needs to keep his mouth shut on a few things.
“Mates always joke but you’ve spat the dummy out because your girlfriend’s basically got you on your leash and she’s telling you what to do.
“But I know he’s a jealous, bitter person. I know how he’s trying to work on Geordie Shore now. He wants to be the main lad.”
Ricci was also quick to criticise James, who became engaged to Leah during the current series of Geordie Shore, for having a history with causing drama purely for the sake of the show.
During the show’s Hot Single Summer series in 2021, James famously made Roxy Hamedi his girlfriend only to seemingly cut contact with her days after filming ended.
A year later, Roxy furiously confronted him about it during a filmed segment for the programme’s reunion series in which James admitted the relationship was purely for TV.
On the show, Roxy asked why James had asked her to be his girlfriend to which he responded: “Yeah, in f***ing TV world – it wasn’t real!”
Alluding to his recent show antics and his past form for “fake” scenario’s on the reality show, Ricci simply said: “James you did that for a storyline just like you’re doing everything else because you’re a fake little b***h.”
