James Tindale is a huge fan ofNicki Minaj and her big butt, but the Geordie lad doesn't think she's got what it takes for a night out in Newcastle.

Speaking exclusively to us on the red carpet at the MTV EMA, James was full of praise for thehost.

"It was all absolutely amazing. Nicki Minaj was the best host I've seen so far - she absolutely smashed it," he said.

"She's pretty cool. She's a bit different. And she's got the biggest bum in literally the world. She seems nice. Every time she came down the steps she would smile - she wasn't phased by it all."

But when it comes to getting mortal on the Toon, James doesn't reckon the Anaconda rapper could handle it.

"Ooh, to be honest, I don't think many people could last in the Geordie Shore house, I think she'd struggle," he admitted, adding: "But I think she'd be popular with the lads."

Ha! We'd love to see the Buck Squad battle over who got to take Her Minajesty to the shag pad for a right royal night of fun.

[related]James' former Geordie housemate Vicky Pattison also revealed she's a big fan of Nicki's.

"She’s so strong, confident, she doesn’t care what any one says, she experiments with her fashion and with what she says and I think that’s great," she told us.

But Vicky was confident that her ability to put away the pints would put the rapper to shame.

"I think the only thing I could probably give Nicki a run for her money in is the drinking stakes - she blows me out of the water with everything else."

Are we the only ones who think this needs putting to the test?

Geordie Shore continues on Tuesdays at 10pm, only on MTV.
