HENNESSY’S Bar had a celebrity visitor last Friday night, when Scotty T from the hit MTV show Geordie Shore was in town.
“He was in town for a youth disco and called into us,” said Ger Hennessy of the Castle Street bar. “His manager just said to us if we supply him with free drink he’ll stay for the night,” Ger said.
“So we put the word out on Facebook that he was in the pub and people, mainly women, started to come down to see him,” he said.
Scotty T, real name Scott Timlin, has been a star of the controversial reality TV show Geordie Shore for the past five seasons. Three days ago, while doing the ice bucket challenge he was the reason for a safety warning being made in Newcastle when he jumped into the River Tyne.

“He was a really cool guy, very down to earth and more than happy to pose for photos all night. People were coming up to him the whole time to take selfies and he was really good with them,” Ger said.
“He’s a real ladies man, the girls were all over him,” said Ger.
“I took Scotty on in a Jager-Bomb competition, I beat him in the first one, but he had me in the next two. He turned to me and said ‘don’t ever take a Geordie on in a drinking game’,” Ger said.
“Him and his manager came in at 10 and stayed until closing. They actually had no place to stay so I sorted them out with accommodation,” said Ger.
