She's been a busy lass since she left the Geordie Shore house in series 7, but Sophie Kasaei is VERY excited about her return to the family for the upcoming Big Birthday Battle reunion special.

In an exclusive video chat with us, Sophie revealed: "Being back on Geordie Shore feels absolutely mint. It feels like I've never been gone. This is me home and this is where I would love to stay until I die".

The original Geordie Shore lass told us she's been workng in fashion since she left the series, and doing Geordie Tours (with Anna!) saying: "Basically, I've been getting people pissed for a living." Why aye!

She revealed that she keeps in touch with the girls from the show (they all did aTON of Snapchatting during their recent hols together) and that James is like a brother to her, and they've travelled the world together. Aww.

So how did she feel about meeting the new housemates who've joined since she left Geordie Shore?

Sophie confessed: "The new cast are absolutely mental. They're young, they're new to it all, so they'll do absolutely anything. T*ts out, they'll get pissed... Chloe is always necking on with girls."

Sounds about right. Welcome back to Geordie Shore 2.0 Sophie!

'Geordie Shore: Big Birthday Battle starts Tuesday 10th May at 10pm. Brand new series 12 of Geordie Shore continues Tuesdays at 10pm - only on MTV!'
