A MAN claiming to be too famous to work shocked This Morning viewers when he swore on the show.

Grant Coulson, who appeared on one episode of Geordie Shore - insisted he was too famous to work in a "f***ing fish shop" after the ITV morning show lined up a job interview for him.

Hosts Rylan Clark-Neal and Sarah Greene looked visibly shocked as he swore.

"I don't think I could work in a f***ing fish shop," he said.

Rylan and Sarah glossed over the incident, saying: "You couldn't work in a fish ship, you couldn't work in a fish shop."

"Maybe a bar?" added Sarah.

The show then went to a break and when it returned Rylan apologised.

"You might have heard some language from Grant just before the break and we want to apologise for that," he said.

Viewers were disgusted with the man and his claims that he couldn't work because of his one episode of Geordie Shore.

"He wants to be a presenter?" wrote one. "He would need very intensive elocution lessons. As for being 'too famous' to find work? One word: DELUDED."

Another wrote: "He's a t**! Too famous more like too lazy, yet another fame hungry fool giving Geordies a bad name."

"This deluded brat on #ThismOrning really? Too famous? No, only in your own head mate."

The unemployed reality TV star on benefits who got a nose job on the NHS is now trying to bag a new set of teeth at the taxpayer’s expense, he previously told The Sun.

Grant already claims to have had fillers for acne scars courtesy of the NHS before getting a new nose.

The 25-year-old, who quit his call centre job to “find fame”, reckons he can’t get a job in his hometown of Newcastle because employers recognise him from his brief appearances on the MTV reality show and a dating programme.

In order to bag himself a new set of gnashers, which cost £4,500, he’s applied for a grant.

As well as his nose job - which he got after telling doctors he was struggling to breathe - he’s also already had hair transplant surgery to halt his receding hair line.

Grant, who lives with his parents, said: "I had a nose job on the NHS a month or so back and now I'm having veneers put on my teeth.

"I left work to go on TV shows and now I've not been able to get work and I'm receiving benefits.

"I've gone for a few job interviews, but because I did reality TV shows I'm quite popular in the north-east so no one will hire me. It's quite awkward.

"It's cosmetic surgery making all the teeth straight and putting crowns on my remaining teeth.

"It costs £4,500. The Social Fund pays half of that and I pay the remaining £2,250 over three years."

Grant had the first consultation two weeks ago, where he paid the first instalment of £200, and had moulds of his teeth taken.

The Social Fund is used for people on low incomes to pay for one-off medical treatment, who then repay some of the grant through instalments.

Grant claims he has applied for the grant and is waiting to hear from the NHS about whether he will be awarded the cash.

Grant added: "The nose job was because I was attacked and it left a hairline crack in my nose, so it was done to correct the damage.

"The teeth is because of how they look on camera and is just a personal thing. Before I didn't have a problem with them, but now I don't like the look of them.

"There was a bit of a bad reaction when I had the nose job, but more at the NHS for allowing it and going ahead with it.

"It wasn't my fault I got attacked, so I think the NHS should have paid for it. Lots of other people get cosmetic work on the NHS, so I don't see why I shouldn't apply?

"The NHS shouldn't stop paying for these procedures; I wanted to get it done so I could get work to feel better about myself."

Grant appeared on TLC dating show Undressed last year and one episode of the Geordie Shore spin-off show MTV's Super Shore, set in Spain.

He now wants to further his TV career and believes getting perfect teeth will help him become a star.

He added: "I want to get into presenting and to do that I need nice teeth."

Grant even considered going to Turkey to have the work done to save money, but if he gets the Social Fund grant he will have it in Britain.

In 2015, Grant was attacked by a bouncer outside a nightclub and was left with a broken nose.

We told how he celebrated getting his new nose on the NHS by downing £300 bottles of Champagne on a boozy club night.

Though he later whinged that his new conk wasn't small enough.

He said: "I had a lot of hate in my inbox, a lot of online comments after the nose job. I was branded a 'Ken doll'.

"Some people were saying they would like to punch me in the face and break my nose again.

"It used to bother me now I let it go over my head."

Grant hopes to complete the procedure on his teeth within two months after he is accepted for the Social Fund grant.
