HOLLY Hagan has hit out at Sophie Kasaei, who quit the show due to a pay dispute with MTV.
In a video uploaded to TikTok, Holly says she’ll never quit Geordie Shore because she wouldn’d be living the life she is now, were it not for the programme.
It comes after The Sun exclusively revealed that fellow Geordie Shore cast member Sophie, left after not being given the pay rise she’d been seeking.
Without mentioning Sophie by name, Holly said on TikTok: “Nobody’s better than anything just because they are or aren’t on something.
“Everyone’s got their reasons for doing personal things. This show is so much fun. I love being on it.
“I love being able to come away and just have a laugh, and let loose and make some good TV.”

And Holly said there’s a reason for her not previously being involved with the more controversial storylines.
She said: “Last time I wasn’t really participating as much just because I had an 11-month at home, and it made me really nervous about leaving him, and i wasn’t really involved in much of the drama.
“Guys, I literally got to have a free holiday and got paid for it. I’m never not going to do this while it’s still going. I’ll still be there unless something really dramatic happens and I need to leave.”
And the 32-year-old revealed she’d actually come close to quitting the show herself, but is so grateful she didn’t.
She added: “Right now while I’m still enjoying it, why the hell would I not do it? Regardless of what people think. A lot of people probably won’t know this but after series one I had completely quit.
“There was no way I was going back into that. I was so embarrassed, everyone made me feel so ashamed, and rightly so for some of the things I did on there.
“But I almost let other people’s feelings of me make me quit a really good opportunity and I’m so so glad that I ended up going back.
“Because the life I’m living right now wouldn’t be this. It would be nowhere near this.
“If I let other peoples opinions of me dictate what I’d be doing in my life then I wouldn’t be here now.”
The Sun recently reported Sophie had been in negotiations trying to secure a pay rise.
But despite negotiations they were unable to reach an agreement and she left.
