Former EastEnders star Maisie Smith has spoken about the 13-year age gap between her and boyfriend Max George.
The celebrity couple first met when they both competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020, but they have revealed that romantic sparks only began to fly earlier this year.
In a new interview with Hello! magazine, Maisie, 21, said it was not until the dance competition's live arena tour in January this year that a close friendship started to form between them. She said: "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."
