Marnie: “I know that Casey would never cheat”

The Geordie Shore star hopes her latest romance will be her happily-ever-after

- By Olivia Buxton ● Marnie appears in Ex On The Beach on MTV, Tuesdays, 10pm

he’s had a string S of high-profile romances – including a turbulent on/off relationsh­ip with Geordie Shore co-star Aaron Chalmers, an engagement to TOWIE star Ricky Rayment and a six-month relationsh­ip with TOWIE star Lewis Bloor.

But now that Marnie Simpson has found true love with Casey Johnson, she says she’ll never look back.

The 26-year-old brunette met former X Factor contestant Casey while she was filming MTV’S Single AF in June last year, and the couple are now happier than ever.

And after being cheated on by her ex-boyfriend Lewis, Marnie is adamant Casey will never be unfaithful to her knowing the heartache that she’s been through.

NEW CONFIDENCE

She says, “I was in a bad relationsh­ip before with Lewis and so Casey has definitely given me that relationsh­ip confidence again. After Lewis, I doubted every single man that walked the Earth. I hated them all – but Casey has changed all that.

“Out of all the people I have been with, Casey is definitely the most genuine. He would never hurt or cheat on me and he would never be dishonest.

“Understand­ably, he gets jealous of my exes, but he trusts and believes me. If I wanted to be with any of those other boys, I would be.”

Marnie burst on to our screens when she joined Geordie Shore back in 2013 – but in January this year, it was announced that she was quitting the show after five years.

And Marnie admits that her time on the reality show had left her tired of drama.

TAKING A STEP BACK

She says, “I think I needed to take a break from Geordie Shore and I felt drained by the whole situation with Aaron.

“I felt that I wasn’t Marnie any more and that I was just ‘Marnie on Geordie Shore’ with Aaron in it. I was losing my identity and I needed to take a step back for my own sanity.”

Marnie has had a range of cosmetic procedures since she first rose to fame in 2013 – including a nose job, a boob lift, liposuctio­n, Botox and lip fillers – but, despite her extensive surgery, she admits she still isn’t happy with her appearance.

She says, “As a young girl, you are going to have insecuriti­es, and then you get trolled on social media and it can be really hard. I feel sorry for young girls. If I struggle, and I’m 26, then I can’t imagine how hard it must be for them.

“I feel I do have a duty to be a role model, but I’m not perfect – it’s hard when I am still growing and learning myself.”
