Ex-Towie star Lauren Pope kisses Geordie Shore hunk Aaron Chalmers on holiday in Dubai
Couple have been dating for eight months following Aaron's split from co-star Marnie Simpson
LAUREN Pope and Aaron Chalmers went public with their romance in December, and now they've made it Instagram official.
In a photo posted to Lauren's account today, the ex-Towie babe, 34, is sitting in the Geordie Shore hunk's lap, his hand cupping her bum while the pair kiss.
The couple, who have been dating for eight months, are enjoying a getaway in Dubai together.
The snap comes after they made their first public appearance as a couple at London's Winter Wonderland last month.
An onlooker said: "It was a very romantic date, they were holding hands throughout.
"They looked completely loved up and really enjoyed the day out."
Aaron, 25, previously dated his Geordie Shore co-star Marnie Simpson, but they split shortly after filming for the last series ended.
Marnie, 24, moved on with Towie star Lewis Bloor, 27, after meeting him on Celebrity Big Brother last summer, though the pair broke up after four months.
In a recent column for magazine, Marnie wrote: "I can't believe my ex Aaron Chalmers is dating Lauren Pope!
"I wouldn't have put them together and it's weird that she's one of Lewis' exes."

Aaron then hit back at Marnie on Twitter, revealing he'd started dating Lauren before Marnie met Lewis in the CBB house.
In tweets he later deleted, Aaron wrote: "So apparently it's WEIRD that me and Lauren are dating even though we met back in may and have been texting ever since!! well before CBB...
"What's WEIRD is just because your set up showmance only lasted 6 month which everyone could see straight through btw don't hate on me (sic)."
Lauren had previously told magazine that she'd met Aaron when she was deejaying at a club, adding: "We had a very funny, drunken night. We went to bed at 6am!"
