MTV has denied they are axing reality show Geordie Shore after 12 years on air.
The Sun reported on Thursday (February 23) that the series was being cancelled by the network due to its viewer ratings.
But an official MTV spokesperson commented: "Geordie Shore has not been cancelled and continues to be one of MTV’s biggest shows. We can't wait for fans to see what we have in store next season."

Geordie Shore debuted on MTV in 2011, following the success of US series Jersey Shore. The series made household names of cast members including Charlotte Crosby, Vicky Pattison and Gaz Beadle.
Vicky left the show in 2014, while Charlotte followed two years later in 2016. After leaving the show, both women went on to find further success in reality TV, with Vicky winning I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, and Crosby winning Celebrity Big Brother.

In 2022, MTV aired Geordie Shore: The Reunion Series, which brought back Charlotte, as well as other former cast members including Holly Hagan and Marnie Simpson.
Meanwhile, Charlotte recently landed her own BBC documentary series Charlotte in Sunderland, which began airing earlier this month.
The series follows Charlotte pursuing her dreams in her hometown of Sunderland, while preparing for motherhood with boyfriend Jake.
In October, Charlotte gave birth to her daughter Alba Jean, whose arrival is documented in the series.
Speaking about how it felt to have the cameras there during such an important moment for her and Jake, Charlotte said: "I’ve talked about filming the birth of my child for so many years now, so it just felt so normal.
"I knew it was going to happen at some point in my life. In fact, having the cameras there made me feel a lot more at ease about the whole situation, so it was so nice."
