Given the dramatic events that have unfolded during the latest series of Geordie Shore it seemed apt that the annual wrap party would go off with a bang.
Stepping out in Newcastle on Sunday evening, the cast were in high spirits as they made their way to local nightspot Tup Tup Palace for a celebratory send-off following the conclusion of series eight.
Leading the way was long-term cast-member Charlotte Crosby, who caught the eye in a tropical print minidress that fully displayed her impressive weight loss as she joined her pals at the popular club.

High spirits: Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby needs some assistance as she leaves Newcastle club Tup Tup Palace in the early hours of Monday morning
The 24-year-old was making an appearance shortly after stepping out with former boyfriend and fellow cast-member Gary 'Gaz' Beadle for a night out at the city's Bijou club.
In a characteristically outgoing mood for much of the night, Charlotte later needed some assistance from a gallant male pal, who scooped her up in his arms and directed her towards a waiting cab shortly after the club closed at 3:00am.
Elsewhere new cast-member Kyle Christie joined in the fun, and he was hard to miss courtesy of his highly distinctive array of tattoos.

The colourful body art that decorates much of his body was on full display as he let his hair down with Geordie Shore pal Scott Timlin.
Holly Hagan was also seen arriving at the nightspot in a crop top that accentuated her curvy figure, while generously cut striped dress trousers rounded off a smart look for the 22-year-old.
According to Closer, Charlotte has dropped from a size 14 to a 10-12 in the space of just five weeks, after going on a healthier eating plan and working out diligently with a personal trainer.

The former Celebrity Big Brother winner revealed her addiction to junk food and calorific treats has seen her weight yo-yo over the years, hitting 'rock bottom' after her Celebrity Big Brother win in 2013.
She is especially self-conscious about her stomach and was spurred into action when she saw unflattering bikini pics of herself earlier this summer.
She told heat magazine: 'I know I've been piling on the pounds since joining Geordie Shore – it's hard not to with the partying lifestyle. But I'm a young girl – I like to go out and have a good time.
'I'd love to get back to how I used to look when I was a size eight, but I am not going to do anything drastic. Especially as it sounds like a lot of effort.
'I know I've been naughty with my diet, even when I'm not filming. I just love junk food. I can't drive past a McDonald's without going in for a burger and fries.'
