GEORDIE Shore star Gaz Beadle beamed with pride as he celebrated his girlfriend’s graduation from university.
The MTV show favourite showcased partner Maia Ellen‘s achievements centre stage on his Instagram grid, revealing she’s now a University of Manchester alum after passing her Nursing degree with flying colours.
Maia looked stylish on her special day, wearing a red dress underneath her robes and styling her blonde hair into corkscrew curls.
In his chuffed caption Gaz, 37, who started dating Maia last year, wrote: “1st class honours Nurse graduate.
“We met and you were half way through I watched you work so hard and endless hours in the hospital on your placements which I still can’t believe nurses don’t get paid for.
“There were ups and downs but you did it and I knew you always would.
“Nurses I have learnt are built different and it has made me appreciate them even more.
“You have been in your new job a few month now and you are smashing it.
“Any children who have you as their nurse are very lucky!! Congratulations.”
After his heartfelt message, Maia replied: “Thank you couldn’t of done it without you constantly supporting me (and paying for my petrol) love you loads.”
On her own Instagram upload, Maia added a separate selection of images and the words: “She’s a grad.
“Anybody who knows me knows how much this means to me, first class honours and my dream job secured.
“I cant thank my family and @gazbeadle enough for all the support, always believing in me and my goals.
“Thank you to the girls who made this experience amazing, I couldn’t of done it without you.”
STRONG BOND
Last year, Gaz whisked Maia away to Marrakech, Morocco, pulling out all the stops by asking her to be his girlfriend.
He splashed out on an all inclusive getaway at the Fairmount Royal Palm hotel.
Gaz Beadle’s best Geordie Shore moments
A kiss on the head
The first ever episode laid the groundwork for the debauchery to come.
Party animal Holly Hagan, the n18, dashed into the Geordie Shore compound and quickly became acquainted with Gaz’s member, dubbed the parsnip, giving it a kiss.
Fight night
Ricci Guarnaccio – who joined the show in the second series – and Gaz had a memorable scrap after not seeing eye to eye.
The argument – which happened at Vicky Pattison’s birthday – got so bad that security had to break them up, and they were suspended from the show.
In a look back, James Tinsdale said: “I remember the crew, we saw them physically jump in!”
And Charlotte Crosby added: “The crew members could’ve got hurt too!”
Wet and wild
Though it’s all now a distant memory, Charlotte Crosby and Gaz were once a powerhouse reality TV couple.
While they weren’t shy sharing intimate moments on the show, one messy (and gross) night is hard to forget.
After the couple bizarrely romped in Ricci Guarnaccio’s nana’s bed Charlotte let one off, much to Gaz’s digust.
She found it so hilarious she end up weeing the bed leaving them both soaked.
Gaz shared a clip of the outdoor pool and lounge area, as well as pics of the new couple dining alfresco with a bottle of champagne in an ice bucket.
Snaps shared to Instagram show a romantic display of roses on a plush hotel bed with “Will you be my GF” written on it.
Before they became Insta official, she had even been teasing her followers with cryptic posts and shots of a mystery man’s hand on romantic dates.
The new relationship started not long after his split from golfing sensation Charley Hull in June 2024.
Insiders told The Sun they struggled to make it work and things swiftly fizzled out.
