Maisie Smith and Max George have appeared in their first joint photoshoot since going official with their relationship just a couple of months ago. The couple, who met when they both appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020, revealed that romantic sparks only began to fly earlier this year in a new interview.
Speaking to Hello! magazine, Maisie, 21, and Max, 34, have opened up about how their connection developed and their plans for the future together for the first time. They revealed that it was not until the BBC One dance competition's live arena tour in January this year that a close friendship started to form between them.
"When I’d speak to my mum, I’d always bring Max up, he was one of my closest friends, but there was never anything more", the former EastEnders star said. But they then went on to appear on a second Strictly tour, which kicked off in June, and the pair finally felt romantic sparks when a group of cast and crew went on a post-tour holiday to Portugal's Algarve.
