After meeting this January at the National Television Awards, Marnie has confessed she's "nervous" she'll be cut off from Ricky during filming for the next series of her show.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm very nervous about it because I'm not going to have any contact with Ricky for like two months and, for me, that's going to be so hard because I'm not going to be able to focus on what I'm supposed to be doing, because I'm going to be thinking about what he's doing."
The 23-year-old star claims that while her concerns for their relationship have made her think about quitting, she doesn't want to seem ungrateful for everything the show has done for her.
Asked if not being able to see Ricky made her want to quit, she admitted: "Yeah. 100 percent yeah, because I love him and I don't want to put him through that torture of like, thinking about me, and I don't want to put myself through that.
"I'm a very homely girl, and I'd be happy just living my life with someone that I love and doing things that I love. But 'Geordie Shore' has done so much for me that I could never leave it.
"Honestly, it would take a lot for me to ever leave it. I love 'Geordie Shore'. It's the best thing that's ever happened to us. I couldn't thank them enough so I would never ever leave them."
Marnie was speaking at the Foxy Love Shop, hosted by Foxy Bingo and the new Foxy Casino which launched last week.
