Career
Timlin rose to fame as a cast member in the MTV reality series Geordie Shore, before being axed as a cast member in 2018 after being pictured snorting a suspicious substance.[3] He also appeared on the fourth series of Ex on the Beach[4] and won the seventeenth series of Celebrity Big Brother. He is the second Geordie Shore cast member to win the series, after Charlotte Crosby in 2013.[5] In 2015, Timlin performed with the male stripping troupe Dreamboys, doing guest appearances alongside fellow Geordie Shore cast member Gaz Beadle.[6] In March 2016, he was announced as the face of boohooMAN.com.[7] In 2018, Timlin received a pig tattoo with the phrase "raid my village", a reference to the game Coin Master. He said he got the tattoo when he lost a bet with Charlotte Crosby, and had to get the tattoo as a result.[8] In November 2020, he joined OnlyFans and began uploading X-rated content.[9]
Timlin's current role includes advertising products on social media as an influencer.
