Maisie Smith wasted no time in relaxing after jetting first class to Dubai with Max George. The actress and The Wanted star headed off for a sunshine break after Maisie gave her final bows on stage in Strictly Ballroom: The Music.
The former EastEnders star has spent months touring in reimaging of Baz Luhrmann's award-winning global film phenomenon on its nationwide tour in which she played enthusiastic beginner Fran opposite hero Scott Hastings, played by former Strictly Come Dancing pro Kevin Clifton.
But on Saturday night (March 25), Maisie finished her stint in the show with former Coronation Street star Faye Brookes now taking over the role opposite Kevin. Her man Max was in the audience for her final show and filming her being given flowers as the audience applauded in a video posted to his Instagram Story, the singer wrote: "You did it baby... Beyond proud of you." He then added: "It's just the beginning."
At the same time, Maisie shared in a new interview that the pair were planning on spending some quality time together as she wrapped on her latest project. The 21-year-old actress, who is known for playing Tiffany Butcher in BBC's EastEnders, is currently in the process of moving in with Max, 34, and leaving behind her home in Essex for a brand new life in Manchester.
“Wherever I am, he’s had to travel to and he’s been so supportive," Maisie gushed over the boyband star in an interview with Fabulous, before admitting she was keen to have some downtime with Max in the coming months following the end of her stint in Strictly Ballroom.
"We’ve pretty much spent the entire relationship on my terms," she said. "Wherever I am, he’s had to travel to and he’s been so supportive. When I’ve arrived back from a day where I’ve performed twice, he’ll be at the Airbnb, having cleaned it and made me fajitas. But we’re both excited about having some time off together at home in one location without him having to drive hours across the country every week."
And now the loved-up couple, who met when working on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020 before romantic sparks flew two years later on a cast trip to Portugal following the Strictly 2022 Live tour, had a touch of luxury as they rushed off to the UAE to kickstart their break.
Maisie and Max appeared to enjoy a day of sunbathing in the sunshine, with Maisie sharing a picture holding up a cocktail on the beach with Max photobombing behind as the clear blue sea rolled behind him. "Well deserved if I say so myself," Miasie typed on her Instagram Story before Max reshared the post and added: "Absolutely deserved. Life doesn't get better than this baby!"
After being teased by her man for dipping her toes in the sea before running off while showcasing her sensational figure in a tiny string bikini, former soap star Maisie hopped in the bath for the relaxing time. She shared a photo of herself sipping on some champagne in the bathtub while reserving her modesty with some bubbles and her legs perched on the side. Maisie captioned the post: "and relax..."
The pair, who made their romance official in summer last year, have enjoyed several luxury getaways since going public with their relationship. They have jetted off to Lapland, Portugal, Mallorca, Crete and even squeezed in a holiday to Cyprus which saw them joined by Maisie's family.
