Geordie Shore star Gaz Beadle returned to the United Kingdom on Friday afternoon after hinting that he had been jailed for 36-hours during a short-lived stay in New Zealand.

The TV personality was seen pulling on a fresh T-shirt and examining his luggage shortly after landing at London’s Heathrow Airport following a hellish 23-hour return flight.

Tweeting after making his way outside an exhausted Gaz reported that he was back safe and sound – and in need of a cold beer.

A representative for the star has refused to comment. 

Immigration New Zealand (INZ) confirmed reports that they stopped Gaz at border control and denied him entry into the country as he arrived into Queenstown from Australia on Tuesday. 

Rules: Immigration New Zealand said, 'There are certain conditions that all temporary visitors to New Zealand must meet in order to be eligible for entry. Mr Beadle (R) did not meet these requirements'

Speaking to the site, Immigration New Zealand said: 'There are certain conditions that all temporary visitors to New Zealand must meet in order to be eligible for entry.

'The onus is on the visitor to satisfy INZ that they meet all of the entry requirements at the time they travel to New Zealand.

'Mr Beadle did not meet these requirements. He was put on a flight back to Australia [on Wednesday] afternoon after being released on conditions which allowed him to spend [Tuesday] night at his pre-arranged accommodation.'

But while Gaz and Marty have both kept tight lipped on their situation, Marty has retweeted posts from fans who have voiced their concern of missing the opportunity to get up close and personal with the stars. 

Despite the chaos, the organisers of the event vowed the show will go on without the Northern hunk.

They said: 'The Edge One Night Stand Party will still be going ahead no matter what, with Marty from Geordie Shore, performances from Savage & Kings, hosted by Jay-Jay, Dom & Randell, Guy, Sharyn and Clint and all The Edge crew.'

The organisation have also continued to share numerous photos of Marty enjoying his time in New Zealand on social media.

They tweeted: 'Looks like @Marty_GShore came more than prepped for Queenstown's weather.'

As the Geordie Shore newbie had never been to New Zealand, the site were previously vocal about how keen they were to give him the full Kiwi experience. 

They wrote: 'To make Marty an official Kiwi, we thought it was only fair to put him through a Kiwi initiation. 

'Guy, Sharyn and Clint will be touring the country and putting him through his paces but the bonus is, you can do it with them.'
