When it comes to the cast of Geordie Shore, the gang are certainly not known for their secrecy.
But while they let viewers see their most intimate and outrageous moments, Marnie Simpson revealed today that she had been keeping some aspects of her personal life to herself.
The 24-year-old reality TV star told Heat magazine that after a lot of "constant worrying" she is coming out as bisexual - saying she became sure of her sexuality a year ago following an "encounter with a girl" after a night out.
"To me that was different because it was just me and her," she said. "It wasn't for any other reason other than I wanted to, so it made me think differently. It was a friend - I've known her for about two years."
Marnie said she had first questioned her sexual orientation when she was 19, because she would always look at girls "in a different way".
"I've always kissed girls, but I don't think I took it seriously," she added.

Last month while she was in Australia, Marnie sent a tweet saying: "I'm sure I'm bisexual".
She explained that she was quizzed by her Mum after she after sending the tweet to see how the public would react to the news.
And could Marnie see herself having a long-term relationship with another woman?
"I'm still a bit hesitant to have a full-blown relationship with a girl, but I do think it would be a possibility," she added.
Marnie, who said she feels "empowered" to come out, was recently engaged to Ricky Rayment from The Only Way is Essex, and has been linked to Gaz Beadle and Aaron Chalmers on Geordie Shore.

She said that she's not concerned about what any of her exes – or other people – think.
"Everyone has an opinion. It shouldn't be like that - I hate the fact I worry about it", she said.
"I feel it's empowering to say it myself. I think it could help other girls as well. My being honest about my sexuality might make others want to be as well."
Geordie Shore airs on Tuesdays at 10pm on MTV.
