She was the girl who seemed to have tamed the party-loving reality TV star.

But now Geordie Shore'soriginal lad Gary Beadle has confirmed he's BROKEN UP with his girlfriend of a year Lillie Lexie Gregg, saying his career and "associated travel" make it difficult to have a relationship. Sob.

A rep for Gaz said: "Gary says he has ultimate respect for Lillie. There is no third party involved."

Gaz had regularly talked about settling down with Lillie and having kids, even calling her "The One", while fashion designer Lilliesaid in an interview earlier this year: "We know we will get married but at the moment we are happy and don't need to rush anything."

Confirming the break up, Gaz tweeted: "Single again... Want to wish Lillie all the best for the future.. Was an amazing year.."

UPDATE: Lillie has now also tweeted about the couple's split saying, "We had the most incredible year and relationship! There is nothing and never will be anything bad between us."

"Work commitments for us both and career directions have made us being together very difficult! X."

Lillie posted an Instapic four days ago looking loved up with the Geordie Shore lad and commenting: "really missing my@gazgshorecan't wait for some chill time in December."

So what happened guys?!

Gaz has just landed inAustralia where he will no doubt have some time to clear his head.

But his trip down under is alsofuelling rumours he could be replacing 'Made In Chelsea''s Spencer Matthews on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!

If he does go into the jungle, he would of course be joining former Geordie Shore co-star Vicky Pattison. Which would be AMAZING.#Geordietakeover

One more thing we have to ask. Does this mean sparks could fly again between former flames Gaz and Charlotte?

In an interview with Charlotte for season 11 of Geordie Shore, we asked the lasswhether she would ever get back with Gaz.

She told us: "I wouldn't rule out going there again."

"I feel like if he ever was single, then maybe something might happen."

But what does this mean forMax Morley who Charlotte has been loved up with recently? And why are relationships so damn complicated? The timing is just never right. Sigh.
