She's had her love life played out on screen on Geordie Shore, but in fact the show's Marnie Simpson, 24, has been keeping a secret about her sexuality…

The Geordie lass has revealed in a new interview that she's bisexual - something she realised about a year ago after a sexual encounter with another girl.

She explained to Heat magazine: "When I was 19 I realised I would look at some girls in a different way.



"I've always kissed girls but I don't think I took it seriously until I had an encounter with a girl last year.

"To me, that was different because it was just me and her. It wasn't for any other reason than I wanted to, so it made me think differently."

Marnie - who was engaged to former TOWIE star Ricky Rayment, 25, before splitting ahead of series 12 - explains what the pair got up to: "I wouldn't really class it as sex, but we did things."

Our lass admits she's nervous about having an actual relationship with another girl but it's a 'possibility' for her in the future.

She says revealing her true sexuality is 'empowering' as she's been suffering anxiety about keeping the secret.

She told the mag: "I'm constantly worrying, so (I thought) why don’t I just come out and say it? I think it's empowering."

The Geordie girl adds: "I think it could help other girls as well. Me being honest about my sexuality might make others want to be as well."
