Maisie Smith and Max George can't appear to keep their hands off of each other as they continue to pack on the PDA after going public with their relationship. The former EastEnders actress and The Wanted singer had been rumoured to be seeing each other.
However, it wasn't until the weekend that the pair went 'Instagram official' with their new romance. Max, 34, posted a sweet message as his new girlfriend made her debut on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins on Channel 4 on Sunday night. Sharing a promotional shot from Celebrity SAS, which began tonight, on his Instagram story Max wrote: "You're my winner already," followed by a love heart.
It was also noted that the pair have added each other's names to their Instagram bios followed by a red heart. The loved-up couple met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020 when Maisie was partnered up with Kevin Clifton and Max was partnered up with Dianne Buswell.

They reportedly grew closer during the Strictly live tour at the beginning of this year when they joined the cast of the 2021 series after last year's tour was cancelled due to Covid. And Maisie, who played Tiffany Butcher in EastEnders, wasn't actually supposed to be taking part in the tour but stepped in last-minute to replace TV presenter AJ Odudu, who had suffered an foot injury days before the final of the BBC One dance contest.
However, it wasn't until August that rumours began swirling about the status of their relationship. It came after Max, who shot to fame as one-fifth of boyband The Wanted, split from Stacey Giggs just after reminding their romance in April following the death of Max's friend and bandmate, Tom Parker.
Maise, 21, and Max were then thrust into work together on the Strictly Presents: Keeep Dancing! tour which took place in June and July. And following their busy work schedules, it appears the lovebirds jetted off to Crete, Greece, to enjoy some time in the sun together.
And as Max turned 34 this week, Maisie didn't hold back on her gushing tributes. She took to her Instagram Story to wish him a happy birthday writing: “Happy birthday @maxgeorge,” with a heart hands emoji, alongside a selfie of them kissing. "Thank you beautiful girl," penned in response as he reshared her post.
Maisie showed off her tan in a shoulderless yellow dress while her singer beau wore a white t-shirt and shades as a pool surrounded by loungers could be seen through the glass behind them. Maisie's mum then shared a series of cute pictures of the actress with her new boyfriend as they headed out for a celebratory meal.
The sweet photos showed the pair snuggled up close as Maisie's mum Julie, who works as a celebrity agent and recently made her catwalk debut on This Morning, posted the images to her Instagram page with a 'Birthday Boy' gif and tagging her daughter's new man.
Max then reshared the post and joked: "21 today!" with a string of crying laughing emojis. "Thanks Julia," he then added with a red heart, showing he's already on good terms with the in-laws.
And Maisie ended the day with another post in dedication to Max. She posted a trio of loved-up snaps of the pair on their recent getaway. It showed the pair out at sea on a boat with them posing for a mid-trip selfie.
Max then planing a loving kiss on his girlfriend's cheek before they shared a giggle, with Maisie snuggling into Max's shoulder. "Another one while it's still ya birthday," Maisie penned, tagging Max. "Best birthday ever baby," she added with a red heart emoji.
