It's been five years since Geordie Shore first hit our screens, becoming one of the highest-ever rated reality TV shows.

So to celebrate 12 series, two spin-off shows and 19 cast members, we're bringing you a three-part special looking back at all the reasons we as a nation love Geordie Shore.Howay!

Geordie Shore: Why Aye Love You kicks off on Tuesday 12th July, with each episode featuring a throwback to some of the show's most BELTA moments, the Geordies' legendary one-liners and their radge dance moves.

Buzzin' doesn't even begin to cover it.

From being debated about in Parliament to winning over the hearts of the nation, the Geordies are now a force to be reckoned with.

In fact, cast members past and present include two Celebrity Big Brother winners, one Queen of the Jungle and a Geordie with a regular cameo on Aussie soap Neighbours!

Not to mention the fact that it's made MILLIONAIRES out of a lucky few. Not bad for getting mortal every night and tashin' on all over the Toon, eh?

You'll also get up close and personal to find out secrets about the cast (including discovering who the show's 'top sh*gger' is!) as well as exploring the relationship between some of the show's most famous pairings.

Yep, it'll delve deeper into the relationships of Chaz (Charlotte Crosby and Gaz Beadle), Hyle (Holly Hagan and Kyle Christie) and Vicci (Vicky Pattison and Ricci Guarnaccio, remember them?)

With a line-up of talking heads including ex-Liberty X star Michelle Heaton, comedian Matt Richardson and former TOWIE star Dan Osborne, it's a show NOT to be missed.
