Ricci Guarnaccio reveals how coronavirus sabotaged his plans to move to Australia

He’s the former Geordie Shore star who planned to relocate from the UK to Australia in April 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.’

‘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.’

‘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 also 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.

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.’
