A seaside council has banned film cameras from their town... because it does not want to be portrayed as Britain’s answer to Magaluf.

Tourism chiefs in Blackpool have refused permission for MTV’s Geordie Shore to film wild nights out in the resort.

The reality show had planned to film in pubs, clubs and strip bars before returning to more late drinking at their hotel.

The programme was due to be shown as part of Geordie Shore’s ninth series.

But tourism chiefs in the town have said that the filming would show Blackpool in a "less than savoury light".

Councillor Graham Cain said: "On a daily basis we receive requests from production companies to film in Blackpool.

"As a town which relies on tourism we have to careful about allowing programmes to be filmed which may show the resort in a detrimental manner.

"As a result we refused the application from Lime Pictures to film Geordie Shore in here.”
