As one of the Geordie Shore boys, he was groomed and trained to within an inch of his life.

However, since swapping Tyneside for Sydney, it seems Ricci Guarnaccio is a little more relaxed when it comes to his health and fitness regime.

The reality star, 30, looked almost unrecognisable as he hit the beach in his adoptive Australian city in just a pair of skimpy swimming trunks.

Shore looks different: Ricci Guarnaccio is a little more relaxed when it comes to his health and fitness regime as he showed off a fuller frame while enjoying a burger on the beach

While they once would have shown off his ripped abs, the barely-there budgie smugglers made way for the Geordie Shore alumni's heavier frame.

The former fiancé of Vicky Pattison looked unconcerned about his stomach as he sat on the sand and chowed down on a Big Mac before slurping on a soft drink.

He then looked full as he stood up and showed off his new frame in all its glory.

During his stint on the MTV show, Ricci famously worshipped the gym and had the toned torso to prove it.

His physique was one of the qualities which caught the eye of then co-star Vicky Pattison, who he proposed to in 2012.

The pair had a tumultuous romance leading to their split the next year before they had an explosive showdown during the first series of Ex On The Beach in 2014.

Ricci has since relocated Down Under, where Geordie Shore has a massive following.

And it seems he's pining for his previous shape - the star shared a snap of him looking lean and mean on Instagram this week, writing: 'Summer bod... on route!'

Meanwhile, Ricci's ex Vicky has overhauled her own health and fitness and has built an empire on the back of it.
