REALITY TV star Gary ‘Gaz’ Beadle will be bringing a taste of Teeside temptation when he makes a special appearance at Colchester’s Silk Road bar.

About half of the 500 tickets up for grabs have already been snapped up since they went on sale four days ago.

Gaz is a familiar face - and body - to lads and lasses familiar with MTV's Geordie Shore series.

The show follows a group of young people who live and work together in Newcastle.

Gaz has also appeared on MTV’s dating show, Ex on the Beach.

‘A Night With Geordie Shore’s Gaz’ will take place on Bank Holiday Sunday May 29 from 8pm.

Early bird tickets priced between £5 and £7 have already sold out.

However, tickets worth £10, 15 and £20 are still available.

The £20 tickets include meeting Gaz, 28, who has starred in Geordie Shore since it started in 2011.

The event, also including three DJ sets, is for over 18s only.

Tickets can be bought from Silk Road in St Botolph’s Street, Colchester, or from www.meanpromotions.com
