Former Geordie Shore star Gary 'Gaz' Beadle has revealed the huge amount he made during one club appearance.
Gaz, 36, first appeared on the reality show when it started in 2011. He was one of the OG cast including the likes of Holly Hagan, Charlotte Crosby, Vicky Pattison and James Tindale.

Gaz remained on Geordie Shore for six years, and appeared in 15 seasons.
He also took part in a few other reality shows, including Ex on the Beach and Hell's Kitchen Australia.
And as with many other reality stars who shot to fame in the last decade, club appearances were pretty much a regular part of the gig.
Appearing on The Golf Supply podcast, Gaz revealed the eye-watering amount of money he received for just a single appearance in Watford.

He explained: "I came back from Magaluf and I was still skint, and then I got a phone call saying 'do you want to do a nightclub appearance in Oceana Watford?'"
Gaz said he was told he'd be paid £2,000 in cash to appear at the club.
"Just go down, get smashed, there'll be birds there, take a mate, hotel paid for, travel paid for," he added.
"... I walked in, Joey Essex was there... it was just a normal night out, I felt like I was on a night out with my mates."

Gaz said after the event he rang his manager and asked him to get him as many
appearances as possible.
"Two days later he said, 'you've got 53, starting tomorrow night you've got 53 in a row'," Gaz recalled.
Since Gaz left Geordie Shore, he's become a dad to Chester, six, and Primrose, four.

He has since split from ex-wife Emma McVey, with the pair announcing their separation last year.
Gaz revealed the news in October when one fan asked him: "It's personal, but are you & Emma still together? You 4 are a lovely family to follow!"
He responded explaining that the pair had recently split, but that they were still friends and 'deserve to be happy'.

Gaz said: "We split three weeks ago. We are still friends, there is no bad blood or anything and we have worked out the best way of doing it for the kids, which for me and Emma is always going to be the most important thing.
"We both deserve to be happy as well as being parents."
