• e-mail

She is arguably the biggest success story to come out of Geordie Shore.

And Charlotte Crosby was more than happy to show off the fruits of her labour when she invited OK! magazine into her gated mansion for a grand tour. 

The reality star posed for the cameras next to her indoor swimming pool in a coral pink one-piece swimsuit, cut in at the sides to show off her svelte physique.

Swimsuit clad: Charlotte Crosby offers words of wisdom to the new Geordie Shore set... as she gushes about new beau Ash Harrison in the new issue of OK! magazine

The garment featured a V-neck front and the 26-year-old wore her blonde locks loose around her shoulders.

Of her home, she told the publication: ‘It has four bedrooms – it should have been five but I wanted a big walk-in wardrobe so I converted one.

'I also have five bathrooms, a pool, a gym, a cinema room and three sitting areas.’

She then added: ‘I can’t believe I own a house with a swimming pool and a gym!’

Charlotte also revealed she has enjoyed 'quite a few dates’ with model Ash Harrison, who appeared on Big Brother a few years ago.

‘I fancy him – he’s hot,' she squealed. ‘The more time I spend with him the closer we get, but he lives in Manchester, I live in the North East and then most of my work is in London, so we hardly see each other.’

She was sure to add that she is still taking things slow after going through the mill with her ex-boyfriend Gaz Beadle, also of Geordie Shore fame, whom she romanced publicly on and off for several years.

‘I’m not desperate to be in a relationship, I’m very content with how things are going,’ she said.

Having left Geordie Shore herself, Charlotte also offered her advice to the show’s newest cast members.

‘Don’t get your hopes up,' she warned the latest string of cast members. 'Everyone seems to think it will make you immediately rich and famous, but it’s just not the case.’

She added: ‘For about two years I didn’t have a penny. My mam was having to lend us money as we were so skint. It took five years for us all to become this well known.’

The show is set to have three new additions in the form of stunning trio Sarah Goodhart, Zahida Allen and Abbie Holborn. 

Sarah has already enjoyed a hint of MTV reality fame as she appeared on Ex On The Beach last year as the former girlfriend of Geordie Shore star Marty McKenna - in a move that will no doubt cause fireworks as they live under the same roof. 

On Sunday, the star took to Instagram to showcase the latest item in her line of clothes for In The Style.

The former Geordie Shore star stood against a brick wall on an outside deck, dotted by a few wayward fallen leaves, looking trim as always.

Her slim frame was accentuated by the white tee dress from her collection with the slogan Boy Bye printed across it in black block lettering. 

Channeling her inner Beyoncé, she wore it with black faux suede thigh-high boots.

The ankle tie flourish gave the cute boots all the detail they needed, with Charlotte simply adding a bag and jacket to the mix to complete the look.

The stone grey Hattie bag from Paul's Boutique was made in a textured grey and the reality star tied a black leather TopShop jacket around her slender waist.

She wore her hair loose and a black choker around her neck.

'Casual Sundays,' was her caption, along with 'Boy Bye Tee (my range) @inthestyleuk'.
