Maisie Smith and Max George teased “exciting news” as they shared a photo from their trip to Abu Dhabi which showed the former Eastenders star holding her stomach. But the pair drew criticism over what some people deemed to be a “disgusting” joke.
The couple are currently enjoying some time away after Maisie, 21, gave her final bows on stage in Strictly Ballroom: The Musical, the Manchester Evening News reports. In a snap from the holiday posted to Instagram, The Wanted singer Max, 34, was seen putting his hand to his mouth in apparent astonishment as he looked at Maisie's stomach, which was obscured by a love heart emoji.
The actress, who played Tiffany Butcher in Eastenders, captioned the pic: “We've got some really exciting news,” leading fans to conclude that she was pregnant. But she then posted the same picture, without the love heart emoji, and said: “I just had the best five course meal of my life.”
