We've heard him say it time and time again, but Gary Beadle's claim to have slept with over 1,000 women still shocks us.

That said, the Geordie Shore star is at least humble enough to admit that if he weren't famous, the number of notches on his bedpost would be much smaller… like, "only" 250.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, the Geordie playboy said: "'I'm not giving the exact number [of people I slept with]. It's with the job. If I wasn't doing Geordie Shore I would probably only be on 250 my whole life. An average lad nowadays is on 100 - easy."

ONLY 250?

[related]Gaz is clearly living in a different world to us.

No, really. He actually is. He went on to justify his bedroom antics with mathematics.

"If you're doing 12 appearances a month and if you slept with a girl every time that's 144 girls a year," says Gary.

"I've been doing it for four years. That is 700 girls [it's actually 576]. That's a mass already," he calculated. (It's actually 576,Gaz. Sorry.)

"They are just examples," he added. "In one year I did 320 appearances. If I was working on a building site those girls would never be there. In this environment, and what I do, that's where the girls come from."

And, of course, he's not one to turn down the offer of a night of fun when it presents itself.

"If you have one thousand girls during appearances begging you to take them home, what would you want us to do? Say, 'Sorry girls, not tonight I want to go back by myself," he continued.

"No lad in their right mind would turn down those girls. It's impossible."

Well, at least he's honest. But what does his new misses Lillie Lexie Gregg thing of all that shagging?

"Lillie is a good girl and so she was like, 'God that is disgusting'," Gaz admitted, adding that he even managed to charm her dad.

"Lillie's dad said, 'I was young once. I'm not going to judge you off a TV show that's put together and made to look crazy. I'll judge you off you and what I make of you.'"
