Really? Geordie Shore’s Ricci has made one VERY interesting claim

Far be it from us to suggest that former Geordie Shore star, Ricci Guarnaccio, is telling tall tales with this one, but we’re struggling here, ladies…

According to the former reality TV star, he has gotten up close and personal with one of Britian’s most highly-regarded actresses and he's more than happy to tell everyone about it.

Spilling the details over the weekend, the Newcastle lad claimed that he and Sheridan Smith are more than just passing acquaintances.

That’s right, Vicky Pattison’s ex-fiancé has insisted that he and the Bafta Award-winning actress hooked up after getting to know each other on Twitter in 2014.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, 29-year-old Ricci – gentlemanly as always – said: “Sheridan was the one who sent me a message on Twitter and then she came to my room after we got chatting.”

Oh and he didn’t stop there, obvs.

Reminding the public that he likes to indulge in the odd tipple from time to time, Ricci continued: ”It definitely wouldn’t have happened if we had not been drunk…We didn’t have deep emotional conversations.”

Well, thanks for that one Ricci.
