GEORDIE Shore star Chloe Ferry has explained why she and Sam Gowland got tattoos of each other’s names while filming in Queensland.

Ferry, who has been dating her MTV co-star for less than a year, told Confidential: “Couples never ever work on Geordie Shore but me and Sam got through this.”

“When you’re in a house like that it’s not a normal place to be. We’ve obviously had arguments and stuff, but we’ve got through the series to the end being together so we thought we should get tattoos on each other, as you do.”

The cast of Geordie Shore, who have filmed the latest season of the hit MTV show on the Gold Coast over the past month, wrapped filming last week and will return to the UK today.

Gowland shared an image to Instagram showing off their tattoos last week, with Ferry inking ‘Sam’ on her wrist’ while he tattooed ‘Chloe’ on his collarbone.
