The 27-year-old reality TV star, who has starred on the boozy show since 2011, says his mum watches every single episode of the MTV programme because she enjoys learning about his private life, relationship woes and drunken antics, which he wouldn't dare share with her.
Speaking exclusively to BANG showbiz about his parents' reaction to being on the reality series, he said: "My dad was like 'That's my boy'. My mum is more prim and proper. She watches every single episode, but I think it's good because I still wouldn't swear in front of my mum.
"She would never know me on a night out ... But now she gets to watch it, she gets to watch a totally different side of me that she would never get to see and I think she quite likes that; like the relationship things, and details I would never tell my mum, what I'm like drunk she would never get to see."
Despite the matriarch's obsession with the titillating series, he revealed he still maintains this dual persona because talking about the show is a taboo in his household.
He added: "I still don't really talk about it."
The lothario will return to 'Geordie Shore' series 12, which will be broadcast on MTV, on Tuesday (15.03.16) at 10pm.
