It looks like Marnie Simpson and Casey Johnson are already feeling the pressures of the festive season after having completely opposing views about the benefits of having a Christmas tree.

The former Geordie Shore lass took to social-media to point out that she “isn’t a Grinch” but doesn’t see much point in forking out loads of money for a tree that nobody will even see.

In a passionate speech on Instagram Stories, she outlined her opinion: “I don’t want to. I think I’m probably the only person who doesn’t put a tree up. But I just don’t see the point," she said.

"I don’t see the point in putting a tree up when you’re just going to take itstraight back down.”

Even though Casey kept trying to intervene in her argument, she continued: “It takes a lot of time and effort and it’s just pointless, it’s absolutely pointless. I’m not a scrooge, I just don’t see the point, and I’ve got no kids so I don’t see the point in putting a tree up just so *I* can look at it."

Fair enough.

This comes after Marns flawlessly shut down reports that she’d left a party and gone back home with TOWIE’s Jon Clarke, taking to Instagram Stories to brand the headlines false: “Me and John are friends nothing more, we were getting alcohol for everyone from the shop for the after party."
