MTV bosses are holding crisis talks after Geordie Shore star Scotty T was pictured appearing to snort a substance after exposing himself to a woman contestant on a new reality show he is hosting.
The 29-year-old was spotted puffing a cigarette while appearing to flash his genitals at the giggling female on the set of Just Tattoo Of Us at Leighton TV Studios.
He was then seen heading into a toilet and doubling over with a white object held to his nose amid concerns from insiders over his increasingly bizarre behaviour.

Scott – whose real surname is Timlin – soared to fame on 2012’s fourth series of Geordie Shore, on which he has appeared on-off for five years before he was said to be suspended in May due to his hard-partying ways.
Sources claimed he defied orders to clean up his act although he insisted on Twitter earlier in the week he is very much a part of the show.
Despite this, MTV signed Scott to take over Stephen Bear’s role on Just Tattoo Of Us although this was reportedly a concern for bosses as insiders told The Sun: ‘Bosses are terrified that he’ll get p***ed and muck it up…
‘They’ve got him a flat to stay in, all-expenses paid. He’ll also have minders from the team checking up on him to make sure there are no wild parties, and that he turns up for the 12 hour filming days.’
In the wake of the news of fears over his wild ways, images have emerged showing the star acting erratically on-set during which he was seen through a window on three separate occasions appearing to snort a substance.
TUESDAY: At the same spot, Scott was first seen standing over the ledge on which there was also a pack of toilet paper
First day of the week: As filming kicked off, he appeared to be snorting a substance from within the toilet off a ledge which sat alongside a pack of toilet paper
While in the bathroom on one day he was sporting a paper crown before he was seen again in an identical situation after which he craned his head out of the window and seemed bleary-eyed and slightly dishevelled.
In videos of the various toilet incidents, the star is seen to wipe and blow his nose animatedly before wiping down the window ledge where he was seen to crouch over. After fiddling with an item for some time in each clip, he is then seen bending down over the surface before wiping down the ledge.
On two separate occasions, Scott was seen peering out the window and checking his surroundings shortly before returning to the toilet yet again and again dusting off the ledge in front of him.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Scott and MTV for comment.
TUESDAY: Earlier in the day, Scott was seen cutting a casual figure as he left the building to have a cigarette
THURSDAY: In his autobiography A Shore Thing, which was released in October last year, he candidly addressed his drug use
Alarming behaviour: Scott will undoubtedly shock fans with the images showing his behaviour in the studio

Taking over: Despite this, MTV have signed the star to take over Stephen Bear’s role on Just Tattoo Of Us although his part on the show was reportedly a concern for bosses as insiders told The Sun : ‘Bosses are terrified that he’ll get p***ed and muck it all up’
He was then seen to expose himself to a female, who seemed to be a contestant on the show as she appeared with her arm wrapped in cling film and tape to protect a new tattoo. Guests on the programme see their new inkings unveiled on air meaning the intimate moments were possibly taking place between scenes.
Crew members were taking pictures of the duo together before they were left alone and he went on to grow intimate with the newly-inked brunette and eventually exposed himself to her in shocking images.
Scott, who brands himself ‘the original techno c**k!!’ in his Twitter bio, seemed to stun his companion although they were soon locked in an intimate clinch while she played around.
The premise of the programme sees couples, pals and pairs enter the show and choose tattoos for their counterparts – without the victim of the needle seeing what they are about to be permanently etched with.

Charlotte, who has hosted the show since its inauguration in April, was paired with her ex Stephen Bear for two seasons before news arose last month that their break-up ultimately meant they could work together no more – leading to Scott’s signing.
She was seen on-set, leaving the studio on Tuesday evening although she was nowhere to be seen during Scott’s wild antics and there is nothing to suggest she had any knowledge of his activities.
His first confirmation of his role on the show came when he took to Instagram on Tuesday – in the pink jacket he was pictured in outside the studio – to share an image on-set with the simple caption: ‘What a buzz’.
THURSDAY: The star was seen in the same spot later on in the day as he embarked on the same activity

In October last year, Heat magazine claimed Scott was seen with a white substance while being driven from Flares club in Bradford and Liquid in Halifax with a source telling the publication he ‘was wired. Off it completely’.
The onlooker said: ‘He turned round to us and said: “You don’t mind if I do a bit of this?” and pulled out the bag. It was cocaine. I’ve never read anything about him doing drugs so I was surprised. Anybody could’ve seen it.
‘When I asked for a photo, I suggested he put it away and he said he wasn’t bothered. He didn’t even do it as a line, it was basically a mound. He put it on his thumb, rolled a note up and snorted it.’
Meeting the fans: In between baring himself to the female and later kissing her, it seems she was keen to take a picture with the host of the show following their raunchy exchange

In his autobiography A Shore Thing, which was released in October last year, he candidly addressed his drug use writing: ‘I have dabbled occasionally. I’m not ashamed to admit that for a while I went a bit silly, and was up to all sorts, but at the time I thought it was mint. And when I was raving on MDMA I was on top of the world.’
Speaking to Digital Spy after the book’s release, he insisted he has no qualms about discussing his illegal past as he said: ‘It’s harmless stuff, man, it’s only kids. At the end of the day, a lot of controversy and things you’ve seen around, it’s all a load of s**te.
‘I’m not going to go into details about things, but there’s a lot of people out there just trying to get in the way of your career and they want to see you fail and do bad. Let them keep doing it, because it’s just embarrassing.
‘But whatever the kid does, you’ve known someone or been around someone who’s done things like that, and I’m not going to lie about it. Lying’s worse.’
