GEORDIE Shore star Sophie Kasaei broke her silence on an explosive row that saw Charlotte Crosby quit the show forever.
The cast of the MTV programme reunited again in Cyprus for the 24th series – and it due to return to our screens very soon.
However not everything went to plan as OG Charlotte, 33, quit the show just two days into filming.
Charlotte had a huge bust up with co-star Marnie Simpson, 31, over a highchair.
It made things awkward for Sophie – who is Marnie’s cousin and Charlotte’s best mate.
Sophie, 34, said: “When Charlotte got upset and left, me and Holly tried everything to keep her there.

“And then obviously Marnie is upset, and I want to go up to Marnie, too.
“Being in the middle, you want to be really fair and you don’t want to take sides. You just want everyone to get on.”
She added to OK!: “It was really tough and it’s a shame.
“Yes, I’m in the middle, but I still try to make time for both of them. It’s still obviously really raw.

“And they’ve got to watch it and go through it all again, which isn’t going to be nice.
“But there’s going to be that one day where they’re going to have to be in the same room as each other…
“Who knows what’ll happen?”
Back in June The Sun exclusively revealed that Charlotte and Marnie had a huge bust-up.
A source told us: “The fall out started in the villa, and after Charlotte flew home early it’s only got worse.
“Friends have tried to intervene but they’ve now unfollowed each other.
“They’re both fuming – it started out over petty rows in the villa, now it’s boiled over into a proper feud.”
It came days after The Sun revealed that filming had been thrown into chaos as the cast have become divided in the show’s biggest ever feud.
The source told us at the time: “All hell has broken loose in Cyprus and there have been more arguments than the show has ever seen – and that’s saying something.
“It’s not exaggerating to say it’s the most dramatic series yet.
“There is basically a big divide in the cast now – they have been split in two as they have taken sides over a huge argument that broke out.
” It’s been really awkward and uncomfortable, but it’s going to make dynamite telly.”
Back in September Marnie spoke out for the first time about the argument – and revealed her hopes for a reconciliation.
She said: “I am always open to sorting things out with Charlotte but obviously things need to be discussed and addressed.
“I don’t hold grudges, I have never been that time of person. When you reach your thirties, everything just seems so trivial.
“Nothing is really worth the energy of keeping it going.”

She continued: “We are just at that time in our life now where we are parents.
“Things change you know, so we will just have to see what happens.”
