EXCLUSIVE: Geordie Shore’s Ricci Guarnaccio reveals how coronavirus sabotaged his plans to move to Australia AND get the nose job he wanted
He’s the former Geordie Shore star who planned to relocate from the UK to Australia to pursue opportunities in TV presenting and acting.
But on Tuesday, Ricci Guarnaccio revealed the coronavirus outbreak had sabotaged his dreams of moving Down Under.
He said: ‘It’s knackered up everything, obviously. But, thank God I didn’t come out any earlier, otherwise everything would be completely and utterly ruined.’
EXCLUSIVE: Former Geordie Shore star Ricci Guarnaccio (pictured), 33, revealed the COVID-19 outbreak forced him to halt all plans to move to Australia this month
‘I’ve put everything back six months, and looking to be moving back out towards September or October, if it’s all cleared,’ Ricci added.
The Ex on the Beach star, 33, has been keeping himself occupied with fitness and making new music.
‘I’ve been training as much as possible with dumbbells,’ he said. ‘I’ve been trying to keep positive and put as much positive posts on Instagram. It’s all about mindset.’
Delayed: Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday, Ricci said: ‘It’s knackered up everything obviously. But, thank God I didn’t come out any earlier, otherwise everything would be completely and utterly ruined’
‘I’m at a good time in my life. I’m 34 in September but I feel like I’m 21,’ he added.
Ricci had hoped to undergo a nose job in December, but put it off because of his plans to relocate to Australia, which have since been thwarted by COVID-19.
He admitted to being a ‘perfectionist’ and ‘obsessed’ with his appearance, but admitted a rhinoplasty doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things.
Priorities: Ricci also admitted his planned decision to move to Australia in April meant that he couldn’t risk getting the nose job he hoped for in December, with potential jobs in the works
Perfectionist: ‘I’ve put that off,’ Ricci laughed off, before he added: ‘I didn’t want to put the risk in having a nose job and not being able to train’
Ricci’s changing appearance has made headlines over the years. He’s already had work done on his nose, eyelids, chin, cheeks and jawline.
He previously said that a broken nose he suffered during a row with his ex-fiancée Vicky Pattison saw him become addicted to surgery.
‘It just set me off,’ he told Daily Mail Australia in August.
‘I used to hate plastic surgery and was never interested in it, but now I understand when people get their first bit of plastic surgery it can become addictive.’
