BBC Strictly's Maisie Smith sparks backlash with loved-up Valentine's Day display with Max George

Maisie Smith has come under fire after showing off her lavish gifts from her boyfriend Max George to mark Valentine's Day. The couple, who met when they both appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020, marked what is thought to be their first Valentine's together.

In their first joint interview since going 'Instagram official' with their romance back in November, the former EastEnders actress and The Wanted star revealed that romantic sparks only began to fly earlier in 2022 despite meeting two years earlier.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, Maisie, 21, and Max, 34, opened up about how their connection developed and their plans for the future together for the first time, revealing 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.
