GEORDIE Shore star Aaron Chalmers has been left heartbroken following the death of a close family member.
The MTV alumni, 36, poured out his emotions on Instagram, admitting there was a "big hole" left in his life.
Aaron - who traded in TV fame to become a professional boxer - uploaded a series of snaps showing him having fun with Big C, his late blonde-haired cousin.
They were seen suited and booted for a day at the races as well as enjoying white wine on a night out.
More snaps captured the relatives post-swim with towels around their shoulders and inside a boxing gym.

In his heart-wrenching caption, the Geordie Shore favourite wrote: "They won’t be another like you big C.
"Still can’t believe I’m writing this and that I'm never going to be able to pick up phone or see you to get your advice!!
"Literally like my big brother more than my cousin!!
"You’ve left a big hole in many of us but 1 thing is for sure you lived your life to the absolute fullest and I know you’ll always be looking down on us."
"Until we meet again cuz rest easy up there big man."
He finished off his message with a broken heart Emoji icon.
It has been a tough year for Aaron who recently split with ex girlfriend Talia Oatway.
The former couple had a very on/off romance and broke up numerous times during their relationship, finally splitting for good in 2022.
The pair, who share three children, ended their relationship following a series of rows.
A source said: “Aaron and Talia have broken up for good.
