A scrap in the street almost turned tragic.

Geordie Shore's Scotty T has recounted a darker time from his past where he feared he may end up in jail for the rest of his life.

Writing in his new book, A Shore Thing, the ladies’ man admits he once worried he had accidentally killed a man who he fought outside a nightclub, known only as ‘Rugby Guy’.

Scotty explained: “To start with I was worried I had killed him, as for a moment he didn’t move.

“Even his mates started after that and I banged one of them straight, too.

“The rest were taken aback by what had happened and inched backwards slightly in case I wanted to give them a killer right hook too.”

The Celebrity Big Brother winner then realised that – thankfully - his nemesis was beginning to wake up. Kee’mon!

He added: “Luckily, Rugby Guy started to stir, so I was relieved I wouldn’t be up on a murder charge.”

We’re relived too, Scott!
