Who is Scotty T? Axed Geordie Shore star and CBB 2016 winner who faces the sack from Just Tattoo Of Us
SCOTTY T got sacked from Just Tattoo Of Us AND Geordie Shore after he was caught “snorting suspicious substances”.
The Sun revealed that The Celebrity Big Brother 2016 winner has been fired and now he's starring in an x-rated pantomime - here's all you need to know...
Who is Scotty T?
Scotty was born Scott Timlin in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in April 1988 and was raised by his mother Gill Baxter after his parents split up.
He is close to his father who now lives in Tenerife, where Scott lived for about eight months.
He was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age.
Scotty T made headlines in 2018 when his company went bankrupt with thousands in unpaid debt.
Despite him earning millions from his time on the MTV show, Scott's business - Scotty T Ltd - has gone bust with him owing the taxman a whopping £147,000.
Official Government documents confirmed that Scotty T's company went into voluntary liquidation earlier this year.
In January 2019 it was announced that he had landed the lead character in x-rated pantomime Jack And His Giant Beanstalk.
How did Scotty get into reality TV? What shows has he been on?
The former club promoter joined MTV show Geordie Shore for the fourth series on 2012 – the highest rated series to date.
He soon became a hit with fans as one of the alpha males of the group and soon cemented his position as a ladies’ man.
While on the show, other reality TV shows beckoned and he appeared on the fourth series of MTV show Ex on the Beach which was filmed in Portugal.
Then, in 2016, he became a Celebrity Big Brother housemate on the seventeenth series and was declared the winner, the second Geordie Shore star to win the show after Charlotte Crosby in 2013.
Has he been fired from Geordie Shore?
Scotty T was axed from Geordie Shore after six years on the show, The Sun’s Bizarre column exclusively revealed.
The reality star was given the boot after being pictured ‘snorting a suspicious substance’.
Celebrity Big Brother winner Scotty “fled the country” after he was videoed in December rolling something in his hand before placing the item in his nostril and bending over to inhale.
The footage was taken by a passer-by outside TV studios where Scotty was filming for Just Tattoo Of Us.
And now a source has confirmed that his unruly behaviour was deemed "unacceptable" by MTV bosses.
A TV insider said: “Scotty cannot be trusted filming with the cast; he’s a liability and no one needs the stress of minding him.
What about Scotty T's reputation with the ladies?
During his time on Geordie Shore, Scott had flings with the majority of his co-stars including Marnie Simpson and Holly Hagan, as well as a snog with Charlotte Crosby.
He dated Ashleigh Defty for two years before he signed up for Geordie Shore and they drifted apart.
But they grew close again when they both appeared on the same series of Ex on the Beach.
Scott was dating former Miss Newcastle Francesca Toole, they briefly split after it was reported that he had a secret meeting at a Manchester hotel with married glamour model Katie Price, which he denied and they got back together.
However, they have now split for good after just over a year together - despite him saying he "would love to marry her" in October.

When did Scotty T appear in Neighbours?
The sixth series of Geordie Shore was filmed in Australia and soon attracted a fan base Down Under.
So much so that Scott was asked to film a cameo appearance on the long-running soap Neighbours, which aired in the UK and Australia June 2016.
In the scene, Scotty is in a park training and sees character Aaron Brennan, played by Matt Wilson, attempting to do some sit ups on a bench.
He recognises Scotty from the reality TV show and they stop for a chat – but most of it gets lost in translation.
But his appearance proved to be a hit with bosses and he has been invited back.
Is he getting the sack from Just Tattoo Of Us?
Footage that surfaced in December 2017 appears to show Scotty inhaling an unknown substance from a toilet windowsill on three different occasions.
Other pictures show him apparently flashing his genitals to a woman who is allegedly a contributor to the MTV show, which features people designing tattoos for one another.
Bosses had “crisis talks” which lead to him being dropped from MTV's Just Tattoo Of Us and replaced by Charlotte Crosby's boyfriend, Joshua Ritchie.
