Geordie Shore’s Holly Hagan has shared a searingly honest post with followers after vowing to be “more transparent” on social media.

The glam star has got into fitness in a BIG way in recent years and loves to show off the results of her hard work on the ‘gram, but her latest post is a little different to what we’re used to.

Sharing a classic before and after photo, but with the words ‘not a before’ and ‘not an after’ across them, Holly wrote, “HOW TO LOSE 7LB IN 10 SECONDS! LOL just kidding 🤣.

“The left is me posed breathing in, hips tilted back and of course my knickers pulled as high as possible. The right is me relaxed, hips tilted forward and knickers in a more comfortable position 😅.

“This year I promised to try to be more transparent with my photos and content. I only EVER show posed pics. And tbh I haven’t enjoyed Instagram for a long time because I’m never “insta ready”.

Holly gives Gaz a kiss on the penis

18-year-old Holly Hagan literally ran into the Geordie Shore house, excited to spend her teenage years exploring what the 'adult world' was really like and she really did get stuck in. It wasn't long into the first series before Gary Beadle had got out his penis, which Holly decided she wanted to kiss. Random, we know. Since then, Holly has dished the dirt on that encounter, after Gary said his penis resembled a "Sky remote control." Speaking to heat, she revealed, "It's not that big really."

Sophie's 'chlamydia' moment

How could we have forgotten this? After Sophie Kasaei got into a relationship with DJ Joel Corry, it wasn't long before she started to miss her beau. But when he surprised her by visiting the house, Sophie whisked Joel to the bedroom after a night out for some alone time and it seemed like Sophie was really enjoying herself. Cue one of the most iconic moments in Geordie Shore history. Sophie decided to show how much she was enjoying herself by seductively saying, "Chlamydia", in Joel's ear.

As series one progressed, the first house romance had been ignited between Vicky Pattison and Jay Gardner, with the pair deciding to share a room from day one. It looked like things were going swimmingly, until the pair got into a huge fight and ended up calling off their short-lived romance. In the midst of the fighting, Vicky then spat her drink in Jay's face, leaving him fuming. Vicky has since called her behaviour "disgusting and unnecessary."

It seems like a long time ago but Holly actually entered the Geordie Shore house with a boyfriend called Dan. However, their relationship soon broke down and Holly wanted to dump her lover. Obviously, in true reality TV style, the cameras followed Holly as she headed to end the relationship, filming her arguing with Dan then dumping him outside a sofa shop in a retail park. Ouch.

Ever since Charlotte Crosby and Gary got together, they were the ultimate Geordie Shore couple. Whilst they broke up more times than we've had hot dinners, they were firm fan favourites from the beginning. So after Charlotte and Gary had done the deed in Ricci Guarnaccio's nana's bed (so many questions), Charlotte farted to stop the awkwardness between the pair. Noting Gary's utter disgust, Charlotte found it all so funny that she just starting weeing…all over him, the bed and herself.

After Ricci entered the house in series 2, he swept Vicky off her feet, despite her having a boyfriend at the time. However, she eventually finished with him to be with Ricci, who eventually popped the question during the show's Chaos in Cancun series. This was much to the surprise of everyone, as their relationship was extremely fiery. The engagement was short-lived, with the pair calling it off months after and Ricci then left the show to go on Celebrity Big Brother.

And from one Ricky to the next, can you remember when ex-TOWIE star Ricky Rayment proposed to Marnie Simpson on the show? Again, this was a huge surprise to viewers, as the pair had only been officially dating for six months. Their engagement also didn't last long, with the pair splitting three months later.

Charlotte and Marnie's fight

There's been plenty of fights over the years in the Geordie Shore house but this one takes top place. The fight between the two firecrackers broke out after Marnie stirred the pot after kissing Chloe Ferry's beau Marty McKenna. Obviously, Chloe went pure radge because she'd already 'bucked' him and then Charlotte got involved, leading to security having to pull them all apart. Charlotte then called Marnie "a big flirty slag with really long confusing hair." Savage.

Aaron tells Marnie he loves her

Marnie and Aaron Chalmers' relationship was very on and off, with the pair loving each other one minute then ripping each others heads off the next. Can you remember when they got caught having sex in a factory's kitchen? But it seemed like it was true love for the pair, as after going back and forth, Aaron finally admitted he loved Marnie. Yet, it took him a while to get there as before he said those precious three words, he responded to Marnie admitting her love for him by responding, "I like your hair." Awkward.

When Nathan wee'd on the stairs

It shouldn't have been hilarious but it was. One of our iconic moments was when Nathan Henry decided he needed to have a wee and couldn't hold it in so wee'd on the stairs. And if this wasn't funny enough, Chloe and Sam Gowland then ran up the stairs not knowing what he had done and fell into his luke warm piss. Lovely.

Chloe fighting a tree

Ever since Chloe burst onto our screens, her wild personality has made her a firm fan favourite, as well as all the questionable things she does whilst filming. However, this has to be one of her funniest moments when she started a fight with a tree because she believed the tree 'wanted to fight'. You simply cannot write these things.

Chloe sent home after starting on Zahida

In one of the show's most recent series, the OG castmates saw around 10 new faces turn up at the house, after their boss Anna wanted to employ some new workers. However, with new faces comes new drama and new girl Zahida Allen got frisky with Marty in the back of a taxi. What Zahida didn't realise was how volatile Chloe and Marty's on-off relationship was and their late night antics sent Chloe wild, and she attacked Zahida, having to be pulled apart by security. Chloe was booted from the show but returned later on in the series.

Scotty T’s threesome gets interrupted

Scotty T thought he was going to have the night of his life when he brought home two women for a threesome... on a waterbed. However, he instead got summoned out of his bed to speak with Gaz for a deep convo. Better luck next time Scott.

Back of the taxi orgy

When you thought you'd seen it all, you really hadn't until this moment. An orgy in the back of a taxi. TV gold. After the crew had been partying wild in the town centre, they were all heading back home to the Geordie Shore house. Bored, and very drunk, one of the cast members suggesting having an orgy, which they all were keen on (except Chloe who's alseep at the back). Marnie and Scotty T get carried away and passionately kiss, leaving Aaron fuming and he leaves the house.

Chloe goes plant pot crazy

How can we forget Nathan deciding he wants a calm and peaceful bath to then be rudely awakened by a drunk Chloe raiding the bathroom with only one thing in sight - the plants. As she goes plant pot crazy, she swings the pot around with dirt going aboloutely everywhere, turning the clean bathroom into a soiled mess.

The Abbie, Chloe and Sam love triangle

Abbie Holburn kept it no secret that she fancied Sam when former Love Islander turned up as one of the new cast members. However, Chloe also had her eyes set on the hunky lad, meaning they found themselves at logger heads. After the pair fought it out over several episodes, Sam decided to pick Chloe as they were more similar, leaving Abbie upset.

Reminding followers that social media “is all smoke and mirrors”, she admitted that “after fighting for years not to be “the fat one” she lacked the confidence to bring her authentic self to the ‘gram.

“I love giving content that either helps someone or means something”.

Holly’s loyal fans were loving the honesty, with one writing, “I like the normal standing photo makes me feel better than looking at photos that I know are unachievable for me xx”.

“LOVE LOVE LOVE this Holly!” wrote another. “Thank you for showing your followers your beautiful body from all its angles. You’ll be helping a lot of young impressionable teens.”

And even Holly’s former co-star Vicky Pattison, who last year admitted “we don’t keep in touch like we should”, said “Fu-king love this 😍.”

Holly has rebranded herself as quite the champion for body positivity, and last year slammed Gemma Collins for promoting weight loss aid Skinny Jab.

“I think it’s quite irresponsible,” she said at the time. “I’ve taken something similar years ago and she begged me to post it and to give me the product for free.

“I declined because even at 23 I knew I couldn’t post a slimming injection. I just hope Gemma’s followers are a little older and would fully research these things before jumping into them.”
