A popular Geordie Shore star has quit the reality series ten years on from when they first joined.
Retired professional boxer and MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers has bid goodbye to the controversial show after ten series.
The star is a doting father to three sons: Romeo, three, Maddox, two, and baby son Oakley, 21 months.
Oakley was born with Apert Syndrome and it was revealed he would be ‘in and out of surgery for 18-24 months’ and Aaron wants to be around for him.
The NHS describes Apert Syndrome as ‘a type of complex craniosynostosis that effects the skull, hands, and feet with bones fusing together before birth.

‘The facial bones are also affected, as the cheekbones and upper jaw do not grow in proportion to the rest of the skull.
‘The bones around the eyes are wider spaced and shallower than usual, causing the eyes to bulge outwards.’
Aaron, who was dad-shamed in 2023 when he chose to go ahead with his fight against Floyd Mayweather instead of attend one of Oakley’s surgeries, has put his family first this time.
A source told The Sun: ‘Aaron’s son Oakley has a rare condition and is undergoing surgery soon which clashes with filming, and Aaron wants to be there for his boy.
‘He’s putting family first and doesn’t want any distractions or to be away filming. He’s not closing the door on returning to Geordie Shore in the future but right now, his son’s health and recovery is the most important thing.
‘In the past, trolls have had a go at him for being an absent dad and that really hurt him. He felt that was unfair, but he knows the truth and right now, all that matters is being there for Oakley.’
Aaron shares all his children with his ex-partner Talia Oatway whom he split from in 2022 after five years together, but the two are no longer on speaking terms.
The split wasn’t their first: the pair parted ways very briefly after the birth of their first child Romeo in 2020.

Last week, Talia shared images of their son’s face for the first time while revealing he has the rare genetic condition Apert Syndrome.
In his video, which he quickly deleted, Aaron allegedly declared: ‘People can see past your bullsh*t’.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Aaron Chalmers for comment.
