Ex On The Beach is BACK on our screens (thank the lord), and aside from promising to be the craziest yet (we think they're gonna have a whole load of sex, tbh), it's introducing us to Geordie Shore newbie, Zahida Allen.
We're expecting BIG things from her this year.
Zahida has hit quite a few headlines already after allegedly having a mega feud with Chloe Ferry, so let's find out more about her.
Who is Zahida Allen?
Just like most upcoming reality stars, Zahida is veeery young and only 22 (yep – you're past it. Soz.). She worked as a cocktail bartender in Newcastle before joining Ex On The Beach.
She's a bit of a beauty queen, having starred in UK Power Pageant, Miss International, Miss Grand, Miss Intercontinental and World Super Model UK. In 2012, she won the England final of Miss Earth and won a spot in the finals of Miss Earth in the Philippines. Lucky girl.
Zahida Allen and Geordie Shore
Zahida was announced as one of FOUR new girls joining the Geordie Shore series 14 cast after Charlotte Crosby, Chantelle Connelly and Holly Hagan dramatically quit (cry cry).
She, alongside Sarah Goodhard, Abbie Holborn, Eve Shannon and Billy Phillips have received quite a bit of bad press since it was announced they were joining the show.
Scotty T said last October: "Geordie Shore isn't false, some of the people are. And it's the newer ones."
And Chloe Ferry threatened to quit unless Zahida was sacked from the show after spotting her with Marty Mckenna in a nightclub. Nightmare.
Holly Hagain threw a bit of shade the new girls' way, tweeting: “RIP to the Gshore we once knew. So glad I was there from day one. Never be the same @Charlottegshore."
Does Zahida Allen have a boyfriend?
She does indeed. Zahida found love on Ex On the Beach with Sean Pratt, and an insider told The Sun Online: " Sean and Zahida are really into each other.
“After they met during Ex On The Beach they’ve been inseparable.
“Sean’s even been talking about getting a tattoo of Zahida’s name, that’s how serious they’ve become.”
Zahida Allen Instagram
Zahida Allen's very active on Instagram – but you may find yourself getting jel of of her perf life / boyf / bod. So proceed with caution.
Zahida Allen Twitter
^As above. Also – Zahida is literally hilarious on Twitter. A recent example: "Is it okay to make a zombie cocktail at 8am??? #yesitis #goodbye.
Very fair.
