Even though Aaron Chalmers and Lauren Pope have decided to call it quits, he's come forward to say that he hasn't ruled outgetting back together with herin the future.

Despite all the drama about whether he spat a mouthful of food over her during an argument in Dubai, the Geordie Shore star has always maintained that there's no bad blood between the two of them.

Now, telling New Magazine that the reason behind the split comes down tobad timing, he said "We've had to leave it at the minute because of the distance and our work commitments. It just wasn't the right time.

He continued:"We speak every day ... We have to leave it for now, but you never know what could happen in the future."

The real problem comes down to location, with Aaron saying that they live too far apart to make it work: "I couldn't [move down there]. She lives in Torquay, which is like seven hours away from Newcastle, and that's too far."

But, adding that Lauren is a "cracking girl", it sounds like if it wern't for the distance issue, the two of them would probably still be together now.
