BBC Strictly's Max George addresses split rumours after Maisie Smith's 'cryptic' post sparks concern

Max George appears to have squashed any rumours of a split between him and new girlfriend Maisie Smith after a 'cryptic post' by the former EastEnders star had fans guessing. The loved-up pair have been packing on the PDAs for weeks after going 'Instagram official' with their relationship in early September.

Maisie, 21, and 34-year-old Max, who shot to fame as part of boyband The Wanted, were rumoured to have struck up a romance after touring the country together in the Strictly Presents: Keeeep Dancing! tour over the summer. The pair were also thought to have jetted off on a romantic trip before Max posted a sweet message as his new girlfriend made her debut on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins on Channel 4.

The pair actually met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020 when Maisie was partnered up with Kevin Clifton and Max was partnered up with Dianne Buswell. They then joined the 2021 contestants on the BBC One show's huge arena tour at the start of the year before being in each other's company again on the Strictly Presents gig.
