Meanwhile Jake, 31, donned black cargo trousers and a cream T-shirt with a black leather backpack.

The pair were spotted pulling their large suitcases across the car park as they headed into the airport. 

However they couldn’t keep their hands off each as smooched and shared a cuddle outside the terminal.

It comes after Geordie Shore reportedly axed filming for their summer series as an illness has swept the cast.

Stars of the MTV reality show had all been flown out to Cyprus to shoot the next instalment but it has been claimed many became too unwell to film. 

It has been reported that some stars were so poorly that they have now returned to the UK as production was abandoned. 

A source told The Sun: ‘It was horrific – everyone got ill and couldn’t film.

‘It ripped through the cast so in the end, bosses had to end filming early and everyone went home.’

MTV have been approached for comment by MailOnline.

It was reported back in February that Geordie Shore has been AXED after 12 years on screens.

The MTV reality show – which followed the lives of partying stars such as Vicky Pattison and Charlotte Crosby in Newcastle – was pulled amid plummeting ratings, The Sun claimed at the time.  

The series started in 2011 and has produced hosts of celebrities and influencers including Marnie Simpson, Holly Hagan and Sophie Kasaei.

A source told the publication of the axing: ‘MTV chiefs have decided the time has come to call it a day on Geordie Shore.

‘The already commissioned series, which is the show’s 24th, will go ahead with filming kicking off this weekend and the reunion will go ahead as planned later this summer.

‘But once those have been filmed MTV have decided to rest the series and will not be commissioning any more. Think of it as resting the format rather than cancelling it out right.’ 

The insider added that while it has been one of the most successful runs of all time it hasn’t been the same for a few years so bosses thought it would be the right time. 

The publication reported that while at the height of its success more than one million people viewed each episode – it is now said to be at around 100,000 viewers.

An official MTV spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘Geordie Shore has not been cancelled and continues to be one of MTV’s biggest shows. We can’t wait for fans to see what we have in store next season’.

The 24th series will go ahead and so will a second reunion series this summe

OG cast members including Charlotte, Holly and Sophie returned to screens together, 11 years after the reality show first aired in 2011.

Original Geordie Shore paved the way for the success of its American equivalent, Jersey Shore, and follows a group of young adults from Newcastle as they move into a house together.

The reunion series included a group holiday, a long-awaited wedding and a party in the Geordie Shore house.

The new series was dubbed the ‘ultimate Geordie throwback’ as original cast members as well as Marnie – who joined the show in 2013 – made it their mission to organise the reunion.

Charlotte said of the news at the time: ‘I always said I would be up for taking part in a reunion show and made no secret that Geordie Shore holds a special place in my heart.

‘I’m very excited to reconnect and reminisce with my favourite people and life-long friends.’
