Mersey Shore has been commissioned by MTV - yes, it's a Liverpudlian version of Newcastle-based reality show Geordie Shore.

After the controversial series – starring Jay Gardner, Gaz Beadle, Vicky Pattison, Charlotte Crosby, James Tindale, Greg Lake, Sophie Kasaei, and Holly Hagan – pulled in the channel's largest adult audience in three years with viewing figures averaging at 330,000 per episode, TV chiefs have decided to launch the show in Liverpool.

Mersey Shore will document the rows, romps and booze-filled exploits of eight Scouse housemates living together in the north-west city, and is hoped to prove just as popular with viewers as its Geordie counterpart and the US version, Jersey Shore.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: 'Scousers are always up for a drink and a night on the tiles. We think Mersey Shore will be just as explosive as Jersey and Geordie Shores.'

Bosses are already considering who will star in the reality series, and are said to be desperate to sign up two of footballer Wayne Rooney's cousins - cross-dresser Stephen Rooney and glamour model Natalie Rooney – as well as Eton Road singer Anthony Hannah and former Hollyoaks star Candy McCulloch.
