Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers has hinted that he could leave the show as he's "getting older" and wants to pursue a career as a MMA fighter, which is quite a change.
He won his second MMA fight last night (September 15) where he knocked out opponent Alex Thompson in just 30 seconds (impressive), and it seems to have spurred on a bit of a career change.
"Geordie Shore is my job, that's what has made us. But obviously I'm 30 now and I have a girlfriend, so maybe it's my time to step out of Geordie Shore and let somebody younger come in," he told the Daily Mail after the big fight.
"I've done what I need to do on there. You have to understand the show doesn't grow old, but we do.
"Six years ago it was fun, but we're getting older. The audience is getting younger and we're getting older."
Plenty of his cast mates were out in force to support him on the night too.

"I'm very grateful for everything that has happened," Aaron continued. "Geordie Shore has given us the opportunity to do what I'm doing now.
"When I first started Geordie Shore, I never thought I would be on the billboard to fight at Wembley. It's all a bit surreal still."
Geordie Shore airs on MTV.
