Everybody’s talking about: #ExOnTheBeach

eotb-cast-flashbox MTV MTV

The MTV sex and booze-fuelled dating series (narrated by Irish comedian Andrew Maxwell) was trending in Ireland this morning after last night’s undoubtedly explosive episode.

If you haven’t watched it yet, here’s the deal. Eight single men and women head on a beach holiday to look for love, with an added twist (where would be without an added twist) – their exes soon come on the scene to “shake things up”.

Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattinson takes part in the series, and will soon be joined by her ex-fiancé/Geordie Shore co-star Ricci. Ooh.
