Marnie Simpson has confessed her romance with 'The Only Way Is Essex' hunk Ricky Rayment is making her seriously doubt her future on' Geordie Shore'.

The couple - who first locked lips at the 'National Television Awards 'in January - are so loved-up, they even had a canvas made of their cutest moments, which hangs proudly on Rayment’s bedroom wall.

[related]When asked about her romance with the TOWIE star, Marnie admitted that she’s not looking forward to spending time away from Ricky when the new series of 'Geordie Shore' starts filming.

She explained to BANG Showbiz: “I'm very nervous about it because I'm not going to have any contact with Ricky for like two months and, for me, that's going to be so hard because I'm not going to be able to focus on what I'm supposed to be doing, because I'm going to be thinking about what he's doing."

Speaking of whether not being with her man may cause her toleave the hit MTV show, Simpson admitted: “Yeah. 100 percent yeah, because I love him and I don't want to put him through that torture of like, thinking about me, and I don't want to put myself through that.

"I'm a very homely girl, and I'd be happy just living my life with someone that I love and doing things that I love. But 'Geordie Shore'has done so much for me that I could never leave it.”

The brunette babe added: “Honestly, it would take a lot for me to ever leave it. I love 'Geordie Shore'. It's the best thing that's ever happened to us. I couldn't thank them enough so I would never ever leave them."

Phew!
